Which utterly brilliant manager will we be delighted to welcome next?

There seems to be some on here who are happy for TM to be going because they feel he has blown our chance at promotion. Were the same people seeking for him to extend his contract when we got into the top 6 and then top 2? Because that would appear to be the logical balance to wanting him gone due to us not making the play offs or better. 

Yes the drop off was awful. But the level of hatred and ill feeling certainly didn't seem balanced with positivity toward him when, quite frankly, we were over performing. 

No. I wanted him gone last season where we had nosedived for the second successive season and were in relegation form. I wasn't particularly high on our position in January because I knew in the long run we would fall way short. 

This second half season pattern is a Mowbray thing, not a Rovers one. Even a semi-competent manager would have had us in the play-offs from where we were. He has been holding back a reasonably talented young squad for a while.

I can’t work out why the spiral happens every year at roughly the same time. Are they working the players too hard ? It doesn’t look like it.

Glad Mowbray is going.  However I am worried what dud they will appoint now and will it be another decline. 

Farke, Dyche or Keane for me.

One of those is not like the others.

To be fair I think most felt he should have gone the season prior.  Where, with plenty of older pros, a 30 goal striker and one of the brightest young talents in the game, he managed to put together the worst run in our history. 

 

This season we over achieved early on to get in an unexpectedly good position. At that time it's churlish to criticise an over achievement so people just piped down and hoped he could keep it up.  Sure to form though,  he managed to unravel the good work through poor tactics, selections and January window. 

 

I genuinely don't know anybody - here or in the real world - that  over the last 18 months wanted Mowbray to extend his contract.

Hopefully he really is off. Burnley will be looking for someone...

Heard today waggott has resigned and given three weeks notice, Venkey’s will pay compo for Ainsworth. Don’t want you all to go into meltdown, just something that’s been passed on.

You can't get promotion without going on a journey first. 

A 100 million journey, that's obviously the only reason we didn't make it in the end.

If only, but Waggott ain't resigning unless the next managerial appointment is made above his head. He currently intends to be part of the appointment and stay at the club.

I wanted him gone last year on the 2 wins in 17 before the shit show this year.  Not because I hate him. Never meet him so as a person no opinion. However as a football manager to big him up he’s bang average. What he is good at is talking himself. That is just an opinion.  Let’s see where he ends up. If he’s as great as you feel then it’s premiership here he comes but I doubt it

For what it's worth, I heard the exact same thing at the game today.

Obviously no idea if true but the person who said it doesn't make things up.

[J*B]

Whilst I’d like Ainsworth the team isn’t set up for his style of play. 

[speedies gonna get ya.]

Or is his style of play dictated by the type of players he has at his disposal.

It would be a gamble but at least we would get a manager with charisma that doesn't talk a glass eye to sleep.

There is no way they would pay the compensation for Ainsworth

What style of play are we set up for ? Mowbray’s had 5 years and he still hasn’t decided on one

If we want him won’t we have to.

Quite. I guess what I meant is a lot of our players aren’t suited. Pickering, Buckley, Dolan, BBD, Hedges all wouldn’t fit.

Yes but we all knew playing Bradley Johnson as false nine was a bad idea but he didn't for some reason. 

Made me chuckle his reply to me...

Well it's going to be an exciting next couple of months. Far more exciting than the last couple that's for sure.

Am bracing myself for the grand anti climax.

Cost cutter pound shop box ticker strikes again, no doubt there is some agent connection if this is true.

Somebody needs to tell Waggot it isn't his money, this guy is seriously messing this club up and it makes you wonder why. Just what sane person would push Cocu over Farke, over anybody really.

Just sounds like they want a foreign coach for the sake of it and it needs to be the cheapest one.  Hopefully TM takes the Hartlepool job and there is a vacancy in the executive dept.
