Tony Mowbray Discussion

[tomphil]

Brainwashed by these lot into thinking we can't even compete in the top 10. Can't go anywhere so the next best thing is to sit back and marvel at developing other big teams players for them instead.

I wonder how many of these dozy plonkers will be paying in person to do this ?

[Ulrich]

I reckon it's waggot doing all the social media postings, he must do something whilst in his office.

[AllRoverAsia]

Mowbary even managed to praise the Pearsy Myles moment. And people swallow this, unbelievable.

How's his statue coming on. The pigeons need something to shit on.

[roverandout]

Gullible idiots.  That's all

Today's reason why we should keep St Mowbray as manager is that we managed, supposedly against all the odds, to get Harvey Elliott in on loan for the season.

Brilliant.

Ben Brereton wants to keep this 'run' going into next season.

Stop the world. I want to get off.

This run that has seen us overcome two horrendous teams at home in Derby and Huddersfield and get beat at 2nd bottom Sheffield Wednesday.

If the players think we are on a run they need help.

No doubt this is being fed to them by Mowbray and co. and back to the owners.

All in good time for a wipe clean of the slate and off for the summer to go through his tortuous recruitment again.

[roverandout]

I see the lancs mob are back on mowbray's side again.  One poster said 'I can see what Mowbray is trying to do' regarding rovers future, other poster questions said poster's opinion.  Everyone jumps on the latters response.  Its nauseating

Mowbray's mentality has likely filtered down to the more impressionable lads in the squad by now. I don't think we have many (any?) real winners in the squad who have much idea what real success tastes like. Coming 2nd in League 1 doesn't count in terms of the club's supposed ambition. 

The entire club, including playing staff, needs a broom taking to it unfortunately. We need a rebuild from the ground up. Goes without saying I wouldn't keep the manager or his goons, but of the players we've had regularly turning out for the first team this season I can only really think of Kaminski, Lenihan, Dack, Travis, Dolan and Armstrong as players I would be keen on keeping. Maybe Nyambe as well at a push. The rest are inconsistent at best, and I don't think any of them have the kind of drive/ambition that gets teams promoted (sometimes most likely in spite of the manager - See Coyle/Burnley).

The amount of sheer upheaval it would take to make this club promotion-worthy is really worrying. Dreams of promotion any time soon are a total pipe dream imo. Even a new manager coming in would have a hell of a job on his hands getting this club genuinely competitive again. It would require a sweeping change in philosophy and vision from top to bottom, and we know the club is rotten from the very top.

I reckon TM told Brereton to say that to the local rag or he wouldn't put his name in this weeks tombola draw.

‘I don’t see myself bringing in the Under-23s because I know enough about them, I watch them train, I get match reports if I’m not there at games, I see all the clips, I know all about the young players,” he explained. ‘

More absolute claptrap. He knows (well I bloody well hope he does) that U23 football does not compare one iota to competitive Championship football. You can find out so much about a young player’s progress and mentality by putting them in.

Oh and I take it the bloody fool hasn’t realised he’s been doing the exact opposite of what he’s saying above on behalf of Liverpool, Man City and Everton all season?

if i was`nt so cynical id`e say he was sticking two fingers up at the fans by coming out with this garbage,it`s a surreptitious way of saying "**** you lot,im`e not getting sacked so i can make  completely stupid statements,the social media mob love me anyway,so it proves im`e doing a good job"

im`e convinced this is the way his mindset is at the moment,it will change next season though,when he gets abuse from the bb end and riverside,he`ll change into defensive mode and make out all the critics are uneducated about the game

[Stuart]

Bowyer didn’t play the youngsters in dead rubbers either.

After a season of abject failure there is still a slim chance of finishing in the top half. Despite what he says about not looking at the table, he would surely us that, and covid, and injuries to “key” players as an excuse for not making the top 6.

(I’m not one of those people who thinks he is going anywhere in the Summer).

Forgetting Mowbray for a second, maybe the reason to try and finish the season as high as possible is to make it look better to potential signings.

Remembering Mowbray for a second, I could have sworn he said that he didn't care if we finished 9th or 17th, yet dead rubber league position appears to matter all of a sudden. Am I imagining that? Possibly. I thought I read it somewhere.

You did

Has anyone heard anything? Is he really staying.. cant bloody believe it

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Just cant believe he's still here.The club has no ambition and thus no hope.

Yes, and he's using the oldest trick in the book at the moment by pretending to be cracking on with a plan and a budget.

Of course there isn't one but it shifts attention away when directing focus onto transfers and plants it into minds that he needs to be here to deliver the plan.

Guys, you're all getting a bit worked up.

But go on then, what’s your thoughts on TM being in situ next season then, Paul?

That's got to be an early contender for post of the decade. Concise and dripping with satiric self-awareness, of course. 10/10

Let's face it he's discovered the perfect job where he can tinker till his hearts content with zero appraisal, get a good wage regardless and we'll never be shut of him.

The really terrifying thing is that he's only 57.

Is that his age or the number of players he uses every 3 games ?

I have repeatedly said I want a new management team.
