If that is true, it is just as bad somebody suggesting Coyle over Warnock back in 2016.

Keep Cocu far away from Rovers. This would not be a good move for the club, in my opinion.

I dont know who Waggott is pushing, put i'm sure like those before him, he will have his own suggestions, after all he is the CEO

[martonrover]

Sounds dangerous for Waggott to be pushing a cocoa over Farke. Need to get Health & Safety on the case.

[Fraserkirky]

I’ll take that as good news that Farke is at least in the frame.

No he's just a cheapskate and thinks that appeals best to India

[cesus]

Haven't we been told today that Waggott has no say in what goes on and just carries out his pay masters orders. So I'm starting to be a tad confused, he has no say on anything but decides who will be manager? It's going to be a long summer!!

I always choose cocoa over a Farke

Heard today through a source close to the club Mike Tyson is taking over with Phil Bardsley as assistant.  I must stress these are rumours at this point.

Is there anything they could say that would change your mind?

I can never say never but I feel very strong in my mind that it's not a conversation where they say 'Tony will you stay?' and I say 'yes because you're asking'. There are lots of things that need to change. I want to give myself a chance to compete in the Premier League with a club that has the finances, the backing, the support and everything around it to compete in this league at the top and be disappointed if you don't get out of the division.

A dig at the owners there from Mowbray, even if he may be covering himself at the same time too. That's everything that he feels the owners haven't given to him.

How can I be disappointed not to get out of the division when I wasn't given the backing, finances and support to compete and do so? I think that's the gist of it.

I don't agree with that sentiment, but he's always suggested he needs a big budget to go up. Now it's almost farewell time, he's letting it all out.

What a load of bollocks from that man's mouth again.

Granted he should have been backed in January even if it was only a couple million but that does not in any way excuse the diabolical run of form he's presided over in the second half of the season.

What a complete dick head. Good riddance.

[SoldierMo]

According to my source suhail is the man…whatever he says goes…venkys will only listen to him…apparently very down to earth and has the best interests at heart but not very football minded as still learning…avoids the limelight due to the apparent abuse venkys suffered previously…anybody else have direct contact with him? Has played a big part in the community initiatives this year…advised my source to tell him directly that fans want Farke…

Mowbray comments today should prick a few ears.

When he’s openly saying he doesn’t know how the owners work, and when he’s saying Waggott doesnt make the decisions it really is damning on the owners and on Waggott. For starters, it’s no good to anybody when the main man at Blackburn doesn’t have any power, can’t make decisions and presumably - like Mowbray - doesn’t  understand how the owners work, how they think or what they want. If he had any credibility he should tonight be considering his position.

Then again we’re looking for a new manager. If they read Mowbrays comments would they fancy risking their reputation, or building their reputation after seeing what a mess this club is? Someone will of course, but how can they succeed under these conditions?

As for the owners, Mowbrays comments are just adding to the already low esteem that they are held  in by most fans. 12 years. It really is time for them to sell up and move on. They can’t bring anything to this club apart from derision, confusion and exasperation. Put the club up for sale. Your times up in my opinion.

This is a total shambles of a club.

Basically Mowbray is trying to fuck the club and therefore the fans as his parting gift.

The fact that he is essentially correct is no defence for his behaviour.

I have had him down as a self serving Cxxx from day 1, nothing has changed my mind.

Why Waggott is allowing this to go on is known only to him but it would be sackable in the real world.

Venkys have already fucked the club Asia and they’ll continue to do so whilst the name Venky remains above the door.

Mowbray is answering questions put to him, confirming what many supporters already know….The clubs a dysfunctional mess, rudderless, floating towards the next iceberg.

Next manger = cheap = no budget = Shite.

You heard it here first.

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.

It is most definitely a Mowbray thing:

Middlesbrough 2011/12 - 2nd at Christmas - finished 7th.

Middlesbrough 2012/13 - 3rd at Christmas - finished 16th.

Coventry 2015/16  4th at Christmas -finished 8th.

Rovers 2018/19 8th and 2 points off the play offs in January - finished 15th

Rovers 2019/20 7th and 3 points off the play offs at Christmas - finished 11th

Rovers 2020/21 8th at the end of January 3 points off the play offs - finished 15th.

Rovers 2021/22 2nd in February 10 points clear of 7th - finished 8th. 

Rovers plucked him off the scrapheap after average to disastrous spells at boro/Celtic/Coventry. He’s stayed well beyond his use by date. I seriously doubt he’ll get a job above Rovers so to speak and IF he leaves I’ll watch with curiosity where he goes and will see whether all this talk of journey and more family time was bollocks too.

I imagine we'll get about 4/5 weeks of absolute silence now save for the odd tidbit from Mowbray through the LET.

There will be nothing from the official site for weeks, until middle of June when some desperado that we didn't think of takes charge.

Farke is a pipe dream I'm afraid, even if he has some interest I have no faith in them getting the deal done.

Yeap…Farke isn’t going to happen…if Cocu is in the frame I’d put very good money on his getting the job. 
 

My opinion on that isn’t great but honestly anything other than Mowbray for me is a bonus.

I quite like that piece as at least Sharpe mentions the inability to win under pressure and that Mowbray would've been sacked at most other clubs for repeated death spirals.

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

He’s been working for years with one of the smallest budgets in the football league, they don’t even have a reserve team. Who knows what his style would be if he had a few quid more to spend.

Maybe he would adapt his style of play now he has better quality players if he took the job.

We are set up for pressing high time and win the ball back high. Very similar to how we played against Swansea or Cardiff or Preston away.

I just don't think Cocu's management and style of play is suited to our players and would take months to make his style work here.

I consider all his recent pressers pre-arranged with an accommodating media and with Waggotts nod of agreement.

I agree with all the rest of your post.

This gives me a serious bout of anxiety;

”The speed of decision-making remains a concern, and with the new season getting under way on July 30, Rovers have to find a new manager, head of recruitment, head of fitness, front of shirt sponsor, and that’s before we get onto speaking about the playing staff.

The team named by Mowbray in his final team selection included no loan players, a starting XI of players under contract for at least next season, and only captain Darragh Lenihan on the bench whose future is uncertain.

Every player in the Rovers squad, bar Ryan Nyambe and Lenihan, have either been handed their debuts, or been signed by, Mowbray.”
