Tony Mowbray Discussion


Recommended Posts

So ......... we are so good at the tippy-tappy passing game that any pitch that is not in perfect condition can hinder us?

We're not that good.

I've seen us play.

Oh and the Lancs Live journo is just another weather cock.

'‘To Mowbray's merit he stuck to his philosophy’' whilst blaming everything apart from himself.

Merit? I really think not.

That would be typical here though, struggle with the strongest squad you've had. Then decide to cut it right back and depend on the kids and the manager whose blown your money and taken you to 15th place.

And expect it to be so much better !

All whilst his mate has sat in the background trying to sell half the training ground.

The lads articles don't read particularly well for me. It's written like someone who has stumbled into journalism and has a thesaurus by his side for the entirety of his articles and still chooses the wrong words.

Is merit even fitting grammatically? Credit perhaps. Not that TM deserves any for his absolutely tragic management last season.

Totally agree. He either sounds like he’s swallowed a thesaurus (yet his sentences and phrasing still make no sense) or it’s personal blog style intros like ‘I know I talk some rubbish’, doesn’t exactly scream professionalism.

Must have poached him from "FootballLeagueWorld.co.uk" or another of those god awful news/views regurgitating websites

My own personal view is that the next three or four weeks are absolutely pivotal to the future of the Club. I don't think we survive another summer and season of Mowbray, Waggott and Venus and may never ever come back from it.

If the owners or their representatives are reading this then you still have it in your power to change the Club's future for the better but time is running short, certainly in respect to next season.

OldEwoodBlue feels the quality of manager and results go hand in hand.

Not in Blackburn or Pune they don't, the two aren't connected in any way at all seemingly.

He said: “I probably shouldn’t mention the pitch, but is it a coincidence, that now it’s lush like it was at the start of the season, we’re scoring lots of goals on it and moving the ball really quickly on it? I personally don’t think it’s a coincidence.

“I think we need a good pitch and I know we live in the north west and it rains a lot"

 

An utterly shameless human being. Feck all to do with the shite teams we were playing in dead rubber games (end of season) or newly promoted teams (beginning of season) eh Tony lad? 

Aknowledges a problem that could impact on the way he wants the team to play.

Adapts to the situation and changes the style to suit the conditions.

🤷‍♂️ Shrugs shoulders and hopes it might work anyway.

Nearly relegates us

Came on here to see what was being said about Tony and it appears that I have clicked on to the How to be a successful journalist page. 

Jaquob is not a local Rovers through and through fan, but I actually think that the way he has adopted us as his second club and maybe offers opinions from an "outsiders" perspective is quite refreshing. 

Anybody that disagrees should perhaps look at applying for his job.

The more and more I hear from Mowbray the more angry I get. He's a coward and a liar and the sound of his voice alone sickens me.

Exactly how I feel. It has now got to Kean levels for me, even if the circumstances aren't exactly the same.

Rovers is not a meritocracy. If it was Mowbray and Venus would have been sacked months ago. It's jobs for the boys. That's unforgivable at a professional football club.

I hope Mowbray and Venus walk out to an empty stadium even when restrictions are fully lifted. They deserve nothing more.

......a majority of whom were down to 10 men!!

Also Tony, just remind us again that, with the pitch being such a big issue, exactly how much have you convinced the powers that be to spend on it this summer?

Toss pot!

When the pitch and weather was at it's absolute worst what did he do? He had the first team training on it for several days.

He's become a living, contradictory parody who insults our intelligence.

‘I don’t like to train on indoor pitches’... yet moans when the Ewood pitch is then a shit tip.

That last paragraph is the bit which gets on my nerves the most.

A majority of football fans are not the neanderthals like those we saw outside Old Trafford, we are regular human beings with a reasonable degree of intelligence. We are old & wise enough to know when we're being treated like idiots. 

I get so wound up with this I'm actually struggling to state my feelings without going into a full X-rated rant.

We are not idiots, treat us like ones at your peril!

vanity will be his achilles heal next season when the crown turns,

The Queen says “Mowbray out!” 😉

The problem is that next season Ewood will be a largely deserted echo chamber, mainly populated by folk who would still go even if it incorporated Mowbray personally slapping them in the face at the turnstiles.

It’s clear that nothing is going to change, so many simply won’t bother, (myself included).

I agree with and applaud the sentiment. The reality will be very different.
