I’m sorry Paul, but it really has bewildered me that running Blackburn Rovers sensibly has been made to look as arduous as sewing in sparring mitts, but that is how it has been presented throughout th

I certainly don't claim to be 'ITK' at all but shortly after the final whistle yesterday I received a text from someone extremely close to the club - not the playing or coaching side - who doesn't nor

I keep coming back in my head to just how ridiculous this whole scenario is. February 2017 - facing likely relegation they finally sack Owen Coyle - he should never have been allowed anywhere nea

Well Steve kean got the sack/pushed out when rovers were fourth 

Long, long time ago that was.

No wonder Mowbray says he doesn't worry about contracts or ask for them, him and his mate will probably just draw there own up.

Noticed he's 57. I reckon he will want to stick it out until he's 60 then retire.

5 of the 7 sides we've played are in the bottom half; 3 of which are in the bottom 5.

Hardly 'better sides'.

You can spin this anyway you like, all of the sides we played bar Nottingham Forest finished above us last season (and Hull who were in League 1).

Away points at Millwall, Boro and a win at Forest are great results. Beating Swansea (last season play off finalists) at home another great result, plus a great result Tuesday night after a really below par first half.

The negativity on this forum is incredible at times just enjoy the form whilst it lasts!

Or a man who knows he off at the end of the season?

 

I don't understand why we are just keeping him on until the end of the season if we don't want him long term?

Likely to miss out on other managerial targets whilst we wait for the season the pan out.

We still have to pay his wages for the remained of his contract either way, so what difference does it make if we sacked him now?

I guess they are seeing how he does before letting him go or renewing his contract. I don't think they should renew his contract at the end of the season. unless we do the unthinkable and get promote. but I do see a different manager this season with this young team than previous years/season. I don't hate or have any angry towards him as person or manager but I do think he should have been replace last season/summer. 

Plus keeping who is available manager wise.

No so sure why Mowbray would be about to lose his job when we’re 8th, if we are still top 10 in three months I’d expect him to get a new deal. 

I haven’t read all the responses because I’ve just got in. I’ll answer that for you from experience because by Christmas or shortly after we will be on a long losing streak. I’ll guarantee that it’s a given

No one read Mowbrays article in the LT - sounds like he doesn't believe in contracts. Or he's a man under pressure and about to lose his job?

I don't get why you repeatedly get your hopes up over very little. If he didn't get sacked after a season of obvious regression, he isn't going to 7 games later when we have had a good start.

It's something Venkys would do, which is a worry.

The earliest they should be thinking about giving him a new deal is at the end of the season, unless he has us on the most unlikeliest of automatic promotion charges or a sustained stay in the top 6, neither of which are happening.

He took us on an absolutely horrific run which lasted a good chunk of the season putting us as close to a relegation battle as he could.

He has form for these abysmal runs too, they aren't new. 

Barring a miracle, end of the season at the earliest should be the time they even consider handing him a new deal, even then it would have to be on the back of a terrific season.

Reality is, they should be looking and sounding out new managers right now.

Well it doesn't look like it will be Cooper. Wonder who's left on the HSH list??

You can spin it how you want, yes, but it's this season not last season. It's the Championship - it doesn't matter how good they were last season, they could easily finish at the other end this season, and so far they are. Them being down there now, regardless of where they finish, shows they have started the season badly. So at the least, we played then when they were in bad form.

We are only 8 games in, league positions don’t really mean that much at the moment.
