Am hearing he's left to join Salford City.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

If true this must surely be regarded as even more extremely bad news as he was highly regarded for the work he was doing with the U 23's?

I would rather have Gary Bowyer and Billy Barr managing my team than Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus. Reason 1 - i think Bowyer is a better manager. His Championship results and league finishes sugge

If true I wonder if it related to the incoming head of recruitment and potentially a change of emphasis on the academy? If we don’t have a Cat 1 academy then we don’t need to have the facilities

If we don’t have a Cat 1 academy then we don’t need to have the facilities for one.

Even if it isn’t, it doesn’t look good that staff and players continue to leave while the only incomings are Mowbray’s mates.

The thought crossed my mind too Stuart. For me Waggott, Venus and Mowbray must not be allowed to dispose of Brockhall for any reason before they leave.

If true it does also of course give rise to the depressing prospect that Mowbray will install another of his mates within the role.

Makes you wonder why all our staff seem to be departing for roles at lower league Clubs.

Why would he leave and what position would he take? Bowyer is manager they don’t have an academy and they don’t have a youth set up that is anywhere near our set up not to mention he wouldn’t be on wages that are comparable to Rovers

Warren Joyce was at Salford and resigned last week. Wonder if he's lined up for that job?

Another exciting opportunity of career progression away from Rovers no doubt?

Salford City assistant on bigger wages than our under 23s boss ?

Quite possibly and there'll be a payoff in the not too distant no doubt. Then what ?

If all these people keep leaving here it is because they want out no other reason.  That could be due to many factors but it's yet another huge red warning flag if true. Looks like the mythical root and branch is actually underway but as i thought ages ago it's Mowbrays gang behind it not in front of it.

Should we be keeping an eye on the Ribble Valley Council planning section?

That's the worry, especially with Mowbray installing another of his mates as Head of Recruitment.

Whilst I don't work for Peacock and Smith, I do work in this industry, and all I will say the answer to this question begins with a Y.

from somebody very well connected within the club

 

"There are two ladies at the training ground who have worked at the club for 49 years between them.  They have been told to reapply for their jobs, but there is only one job"

So one of them has been getting paid for doing nothing for the past 20 odd years.

It could be the manager and assistant manager of the ticket office. They have managed to get them to a low enough level now, to ensure one person can do the job.

Cut backs at the bottom end yet in comes another presumably well paid one at the top end.

Pity the day to day staff don't have agents.

This is typically how it works when it comes to cost cutting. The person who stays on is supposed to feel grateful for still having a job despite now having double the workload.

Yet we could keep Gladwin on the books for ages with no chance of him ever playing for us again.

Along with Smallwood the HSH boy sitting out the best contract he probably ever had, no push from the management. Then the covid extensions,  Downing, Rodwell etc

When theres been money this lot have wasted it big time, now the whole club pays the price again.

Jokers.
