Cowley off to a flyer at Portsmouth. Opportunity missed. Again.

Was always going to happen. Would love him here.

This was when he replaced Sven, they weren’t the best in the land like they are now. They may have even had that Asian owner before the Arabs came in as well. Their team was no great shakes at all. 

They were loaded - albeit not as loaded as they are now.

Funnily enough I was lamenting that today with a friend. We get lumbered with awful Indian owners who won't bugger off despite a decade of incompetence.

Citeh get back-to-back rich owners when the first one was arrested for money laundering. 

Doesn't seem fair, really.

Young hungry manager that wants to succeed and get to the top - we missed the boat. We have a dino that's been at the top, failed, and is at the end of his career. More interested in preserving his career over anything else.

Well after that shambles today he has to go. We need a young hungry Manager with real passion for the game and the club. Think I'd go for the guy at Bolton or Ainsworth. They couldn't possibly be any worse than the current baffoon

[Southside Rover]

Id literally take anything just to hear something different and a chance of seeing something different. You cant even make out Tony's face on my dartboard anymore.....

Any of the above. Failing that, take your pick from any useless dolloper and they'd be better than what we have.

I would put season tickets on sale now, with a golden ticket, If you get that ticket in a draw, you are the new manager.

Cowleys are at Portsmouth, aren't they?

Besides we are not a sensibly-run football club. Who is going to sack Mowbray? Hey? Hey?

Who the f++k is going to sack him?????????

Aaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

[matt83]

I’d have a turnip with a smiley face drawn on it over this moron. 

[tomphil]

Average managers are ten a penny at this level so changing one for another is no big deal.  Might be hard to get a top name in but we've long past the stage where change is needed for changes sake.

He's neither got one iota of a clue left and cares even less now.

Contract only till end of season there.

[roversfan99]

I must say, the insistence that Pasha can or indeed will sack Mowbray seems a little premature and hopeful at this time.

[G Somerset Rover]

Pasha ‘liked’ tweets just a month ago where Mowbray was quoted talking about how he didn’t feel he was fighting for his job. Can only hope he’s got no say and Blingy/Madame will pull off a shock, but I’m not expecting anything. Would imagine none of us are.

Our only hope is the players frankly turn around and say fuck off Tony to which a hurting father feels he cannot go on and finally does what's right for all involved.

The next chapter will be who is next but I'm prepared to live that trauma just to see this chapter end.

It's like a bad novel you have to read to pass your exams. You can't bear to read or hear another word but not seeing it through is not an option to get the answers you need at the exam. 

I've never experienced Japanese water torture but could there be a modern day alternative not yet realised? TM press conferences....

I can only imagine what the owners must think after a few days of him in India each summer. No wonder they don't come over and I imagine there chickens make more sense!

[JHRover]

Well personally I'm at a clear stage in life. As difficult as Coronvirus has been the 13 month break in football games has simplified things and offered a fresh perspective on football. If it had just carried on uninterrupted then I'd have just carried on turning up indefinitely without question.

If Mowbray is still here or if they replace him with Venus or another micky mouse cheap easy appointment then I'm out. It won't even be a difficult choice any more. Things have changed.

The worst part for me isn't the shite football or results, it's the lack of trust and accountability.

I can tolerate rubbish football and results, I can't tolerate shysters selling off our training ground, unsackable managers who appoint their own CEOs and people taking hundreds of thousands a year out whilst pleading poverty.

[RoversClitheroe]

If Mowbray continues next season as manager what clubs are on offer to support?

Rochdale? Accy?

This.

The Brockhall thing was a line in the sand moment for me and in the meantime results on the pitch have also got so bad that we are even falling back in danger of being in the relegation mix.

I don't think the two things are entirely unrelated.

Meanwhile, the local press sail merrily on regardless, asking Mowbray about his summer transfer plans, also acting on the assumption that the Brockhall scheme is a good thing.

Back in the real world however, the rest of us have to try and ensure there's still something left to salvage by the time the Coventrio are expelled from the Club.

Going off your posting name I’d suggest getting yourself down to shawbridge to watch Clitheroe. They have ambitions of promotion.

Last season season tickets were £50. Can have a drink while watching the game. A club that isn’t reduced to merely a vanity project for billionaires and chancers.

If the likes of JH (and Parson if I remember his post from a while ago) are thinking of knocking it on the head, then summer 2021 will be a repeat of 2012, only thing is there ain’t many of us left for another 50% to pack it in.

But that is certainly the mood music I’m picking up, the drop off in interest has been enormous from what I’ve seen, the 18 months minimum out of Ewood will have seen many fans  re-assessing their priorities in life and spending £400-500 to have the piss taken by that carpetbagger and his stooges won’t be one of them...

I'd second that. Clitheroe is fun football. You go home regardless of the result feeling you've seen a team playing their hearts out. They're not generally great talents but they've remembered what the point of playing is- doing your best to win and enjoying yourself doing it.

I agree Matty.....Whilst fans at many clubs will be desperate to return to their grounds, with support they have missed giving ...the returning numbers at Ewood will be a stark statement of what this management has done to this club....I along with JH and many others will be part of that 50%.
