Mowbray in press conference

[ClaretTony]

“What do you want me to think? I don’t feel I’m being disloyal here by saying anything other than it looks like I’m leaving”

“There’s no contract discussions. I’m out of contract very, very soon”

[clansman]

Looks like he is off out of it.I think he split opinion with their fans. Never seemed to have consistent team selection or way of playing. However to just leave him in the dark about his contract shows disrespect from the owners. I hope to god they don’t offer Dyche millions to go there!

[evensteadiereddie]

That would be brilliant.

Oh dear, please no!

[Rowls]

I wished Dyche the very best of success wherever he ended up but oh lord please let it not be them.

[Rowls]

Fingers crossed for a good appointment (in th emould of Coyle or Berg or Kean) down the road.

Going by previous appointments they chanced upon Moybray. Let's hope for a return to form for the Venkys.

OMG

There's a certain guy on here would go into meltdown if that happened

Maybe Coyle to completely finish what he started. Mowbray has been there for some time, he replaced Coyle.

[Bosscat]

The Mowbray outers at Deadwood will be creaming their jockey shorts at this news...

[Rowls]

Maybe Coyle to completely finish what he started. Mowbray has been there for some time, he replaced Coyle.

We can only hope and pray.

I'll be mortified if Dyche ends up there but it's good news that Mowbray is going.

The Prinny Royal would have it's sign back up quicker than you could drink a pint.

[Lancasterclaret]

No chance that Dyche goes there

I think Mowbray has actually done quite a good job, but he has been backed, and they look like they are going to fail to make the play offs again

[ElectroClaret]

Seems an odd thing to say on the eve of a weekend when they're still in with a chance (albeit pretty small) of making the playoffs.

Was he asked a question about his future?

[joey13]

Dyche will go to a much bigger club than Rovers , Accrington for instance.

[BurnleyFC]

Done a good job has Tony.

Their capitulation post-Christmas has been superb.

[ClaretTony]

Done a good job has Tony.

Thanks very much for your kind words

[Juan Tanamera]

[bfcjg]

Mowbray has a face only a mother could love.

[Fretters]

Mark Warburton is leaving QPR too after saying almost exactly the same thing in his press conference.

There is a difference. QPR had told him and announced it.

[Swizzlestick]

I like Mowbray as a manager and a person, so the sooner he's out of that club, the better. To have them even challenging for playoffs with that squad, regardless of where they were earlier in the season, is some achievement. Hopefully another Steve Kean-esque experiment is in the offing.

[EarbyClaret]

Of all the potential openings for Dyche - assuming he is looking for a swift return - QPR would be a really good fit - turning them into genuine promotion contenders would be more evolution than revolution - especially following in the footsteps of his friend Marc Warburton

Stoke and West Brom look like almost complete rebuilds

You’ve met him then?

[Swizzlestick]

You’ve met him then?

Why do I need to meet him? I liked Sean Dyche as a person, yet I've never met him, but I liked the way he conducted himself in interviews and with staff.

Any more comments smartarse?

[superdimitri]

Paul Ince or Roy Keane please.

[Cirrus_Minor]

So after winning 4-1 at Preston he will be packed off on his bike. I actually thought he did more than a fair job but nothing in football surprises me now.

[Fretters]

https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/wa ... on-280422/

Based on his press conference comments, it sounds like the club announced that afterwards:

"I've had no comments at all about next season so I am sure you can take from that what you will," Warburton told BBC Radio London earlier on Thursday.

"I think if that [staying] was the case, communication about contract talks would already have been held.

"I don't expect to be here [next season] but I will do the job to the best I can from here and see what happens after that."

[claptrappers_union]

Tony Mowbray is well respected within the profession and he’s certainly steadied the ship at Blackburn, an incredible job to be fair. He's just got on with it. You don’t hear the noise from the Venkys Out mob anymore other than some disgruntled opinions about what happens on the pitch… which you get at every club.

Not good that they haven’t kept him in the loop about his future there.

[claret2018]

I’d be surprised if Blackburn didn’t make a very large offer to Dyche

[JohnMcGreal]

I’d be surprised if Blackburn didn’t make a very large offer to Dyche

I think Dyche will wait and see what happens with Everton. If they drop, I can see them snapping him up.

[ClaretTony]

Wouldn't surprise me to see him linked with QPR given that Lee Hoos is the CEO there

[Belgianclaret]

Mowbray is a good manager who certainly did a good job at the barstewards.
No need to slag him off just because he got offered a job there.

[warksclaret]

He has done better this year than any could have predicted and feel sure he will get a job offer sooner rather than later

[nil_desperandum]

Mowbray wins his next 2 games then he almost certainly gets 2 more games in the playoffs.
From there anything can happen.
Hard to see them potting him if the unthinkable happened.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

It would be like going backwards 10yrs for Dyche.

Their training facilities are dated now, their pitch at Ewood is a cabbage patch when the weather is bad.

That's before you get to their horrific wage bill which is about 160% of income.

Venkys would have to offer him what he was on here I think to have any real chance of getting him.

[Jel]

Mowbray to Burnley?

[ClaretPete001]

It's harsh on Mowbray. I think 4 out of the 6 clubs in the top 6 of the Championship are still receiving parachute money. Forest are a big club and only Luton are the wild card.

Rover's are leveraged to the hilt. Even billionaires must get weary of throwing £20 million at a football club every season so I guess there is an air of desperation about achieving the Premiership.

I suspect Mowbray's contract would have been dealt with long before Dyche was available.

I can't see the Venky's having the foresight and expertise to build a long term proposition with someone like Dyche at the helm.

I think QPR would be a good fit for Dyche and re-connect with Hoos, Austin, Gray and Hendrick .

[Rowls]

Every reason above to slag him off until he leaves and undertakes a pilgrimage of penitence for his sins.

lol reminded me of this

Ewood Park is now empty, it's getting knocked down,
They play all their home games on a piece of waste ground,
etc

[ElectroClaret]

Mowbray wins his next 2 games then he almost certainly gets 2 more games in the playoffs.

Hopefully, even winning their last two won't be enough.
If Sheffield Utd get four points from their last two, they'll grab the last playoff spot.

Here's hoping...

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Forest are a big club

Widely accepted that if Forest don't go up this season there will be a fire sale of players because their wage bill is too high, they've got debts of £40 million etc.

[gc14]

Mowbray is out of contract and heard a couple of weeks ago Damien Johnson will replace him ..

Sheff UTD struggling to score at present and play Fulham.
Don't fancy them to get anything from that.

[Clarets4me]

Rovers are operating at a trading loss of around £390k per week at present, it's only the constant issuing of share capital that's keeping Rovers cashflow afloat ...

[Blakesboots]

Dyche will remain a very much sort after premier league manager.

[Rowls]

Dyche will remain a very much sort after premier league manager.

* sought after

to seek = seek / sought

to sort = sort / sorted

But yes, he ought ot be in the Premier League chairmen have any intelligence.

Boro' are also in the mix - and Milwall are on same points as rovers but inferior goal difference.

Yep. Probably go the final whistle of the last games.

[KRBFC]

If he couldn't get a PL job and wasn't sought after 3 years ago, then he wont now.
