Tony Mowbray Discussion

I think we all know how this season plays out if we’re being honest with ourselves.

The death spiral will continue for a little while longer before we turn things around 180 and go on a mini winning run to end the season, only for it to be too little too late, with us narrowly missing out on the play-offs. Mowbray and the social media crew will cite BBD’s injury - and return - for our downturn and then upturn in form, and be ecstatic with how we ‘finished the season so strongly’. New deal for Mowbray in the summer, on we roll.

Yep. If this run continues until May then even his most loyal fans will be having to question him. It won't. We will get the usual upturn in form once the pressure and expectation is off in late April but by then we'll have no chance of overtaking Forest, Hudds, Mboro, Sheff Utd or Luton.

He's blown it. If I had an ounce of belief that he accepted his errors, or would learn from them, then I might support him having another season to go one better. But this bloke has spent the last 10-12 years doing this which is why he's never got above the middle of the Championship.

He thinks he is Pep Guardiola but he's a very average manager who can't change and won't learn.

The world has gone mad if people serious think sacking Mowbray now is the right thing to do given we are promotion race which most on here never thought would happen. The 2 reasons for that our chance of promotion is down to Mowbray and the players

[Cherry Blue]

If Venkys had any knowledge of the game they'd sack Mowbray on Sunday and appoint someone who'd put fear and respect into theses players. Playoffs could be back on the table if they did.

The world has gone mad, I don't know if you've seen the news recently.

Mowbray has been mad for some time.

That sounds like he's happy because those players, although useless right now will score goals in the future. So that's our striking options going forward. Someone might want to tell TM Poveda isn't our player.

So next season our attacking options will be Dack (midfielder), Hedges (winger), Markanday (winger), Dolan (winger), Gallagher (wanker).

Will Hedges still be at Rovers  ?

Very odd transfer that one is....

[JHRover]

I think the only person happy with the Hedges deal so far is Darren Mowbray

All there in black and white Chaddy. Join the dots and think outside the box.

Is Darren Mowbray Tony’s son and hedges agent ?

Hedges's agent is CAA Base LTD. 

Darren Mowbray works for Aberdeen in a recruitment role.

No it's down to a weak ass league.  Brereton's sudden form. And some luck

100% correct and the first one is why we are still 4th even thought we have been in relegation almost all of 2022.

The busted flush we found on the scrapheap is loved by some though, which is one of life's mysteries.

The great difficulty with Mowbray is that if we sack him I wonder what Venkys have for us next.

If I trusted the owners even one bit, he should be sacked today. Complete clown, stubborn and delusional

[bluebruce]

From Mowbray, about Buckley:

“Everyone had the option of doing five minutes training (on Thursday) and then coming in to rest, relax and get ready for the next match, but he was out there for over an hour, practicing finishing and he wasn’t told to do that."

Wait what? What do you mean they had the option of doing five minutes of training then resting?!? What the fuck does that achieve?

And of course he wants to practice finishing, he's been abysmal at it lately.

He is also the reason we won't make the playoffs, which can be seen as nothing but an abject failure from the position we were in.

If you think differently, I'm happy to have a wager with you. A tenner to the winner's charity of choice. I'm betting we won't get in the playoffs if you're willing to bet we will.

If you don't think we will, from the lead we had at the start of the year, surely you must think that's unacceptable? The club don't owe Mowbray, they owe the fans, and what they owe is getting us back to where we were before they relegated and humiliated us for a decade.

I think you'll find he's Tony's brother and Head of Recruitment at Aberdeen!  Worked in recruitment for M'boro when Tony manager there.

You couldn't make it up!

[broadsword]

When is the Clogher Don statue going up? 

[Darwen Rover 007]

I actually think we will start playing well as we slip out of the top 6 and have nothing left to play for..  

[Darwen Rover 007]

We should be going for an up and coming new manager... I think Ryan Lowe would fit the bill..
