Past form however tells us no decision till summer meeting. If he is lining up players it’s off his own bat but that wouldn’t surprise me because he is arrogant enough to believe he’s on top of the situation.

Unfortunately I don't think there will be a summer meeting which could mean Mowbray remains in situ by default - totally understandable with the terrible situation in India at the moment. Some things are more important than a football manager's job.

Doesn't change my view on Venky's but I hope the situation over there improves quickly for everyone.

I'd strongly recommend Les pulls a sickie tomorrow. 

His ear's going to be red raw by end of the day. 😀

 

But on a serious note, would this all  not get fed back to the top? If the office staff ring about 100 a day for renewals and half of them all say how angry they are with TM and the state of the club, surely at some point they have to realise this is seriously damaging their customer base. 

That's how a normal business would operate.......... I think I see where I'm going wrong.

Has Les’ findings been shredded yet?

Reliable journalist delivers update on Tony Mowbray’s future at Blackburn Rovers amid key development | Football League World

Here's the link to the Nixon tweet story about Mowbray staying. 

Although I think it was Nixon who started the story a few weeks/months ago about Rovers going for a foreign coach?

I think what is fairly clearly is that nobody has a clue.

The only thing I know is that they can shove my ST application form up Mowbray's arse if he's staying as manager.

You lost me at Reliable journalist. When, in Rovers terms, was Nixon last that?

No idea if he ever was. You'll have to ask the person who wrote the article.

That is exactly what I would suggest to everyone. Don't buy a season ticket, but get a match ticket for the first home game, and give Mowbray stick. Even stay on after the game and keep giving him stick during the warm down.

If we were to win that game though you'd be attacked by Mowbray's acolytes!

Im not sure he ever was reliable but he did have contacts and was occasionally right about the broad story outline even if the details were lacking. Very good at phrasing things so that he could wriggle out of things if what he predicted didn't materialise

[windymiller7]

Wouldn't it be great to have 25k on for the opening game next season, all giving Mowbray absolute doggers, then for 2k to show up for the next when he's still in situ. Now that's a protest!

As the Oxford game at the end of the L1 campaign showed, those fans are still lurking somewhere.

Alan McNally on Soccer Saturday saying Mowbray's job is far from save. 

Jeff Sterling on Soccer Saturday as just said that the Venkys came to a recent game. Any heard this?

I’d be very surprised if it’s true, given the situation.

just reporting what was said. Maybe it was Balaji's son if he is studying here or whether he means Suhail Pasha being here.

5 year extension incoming, he must've heard Mrs D is watching this one.

Jeff's talking bollocks, he's on Sky it's all they do on there, the visual version of talksport.

Tony talks bollocks yet again, his investments are paying off.  If he is still here next season, we must get this guy a press officer who vets his responses before he talks to the press.

Today's result changes sweet FA......new Manager please.

I'm sure he hears specualtion, but that's all it is.  Unless he speaks to Venkys, he know no more than anyone else

You need to ask them dont you?

[Gone to seed]

Time to go Tony Mowbray, time to go,

For we've seen all your stupid tricks you know

How you treat the fans like morons

And the players you pour scorn on,

time to go, Tony Mowbray, time to go.

 

On your bike, Tony Mowbray, on your bike,

And take that no mark Waggot, if you like

For two wins in 17 matches

Don't mean shit, this form in patches

On your bike, Tony Mowbray, your bike

 

Off you trot, Tony Mowbray, off you trot

For you've won the fan base round, oh I think not!

All your baffling team selections

And your gurning misdirections

Off you trot, Tony Mowbray, off you trot..

 

Say goodbye, Tony Mowbray, say goodbye.

And we wont be sad to see you go - here's why:

For a man who claims such honour

Should have way back been a goner,

Say goodbye,  Tony Mowbray, say goodbye.

 

Time to jump, Tony Mowbray, time to jump..

We're not bothered if it's shit teams that we thump,

When you think what really matters

Next year's team sheet's all in tatters,

Time to jump, Tony Mowbray, time to jump.

No, because I know they don't , as does everyone else. Many examples of this over the years. Nobody knows what venkys are planning. You should know that at this stage 

[Theaxe15]

The fact that I felt completely unmoved by a 5-2 win yesterday shows just how much damage Mowbray has done this season. I imagine many others felt the same. I fear the season ticket sales for next season will make for tragic reading

[gumboots]

I was pleased about it but it didn't fill me with the kind of excitement I used to feel when I would go to work on Monday still buoyed up by the result on Saturday.
