Yeah he got relegated with a £25 million wage bill but hey ho

They were relegated on goal difference on the last day of the season, which was an improvement from where they were before he took over. Based on the form under Mowbray they would have been a mid table team.

Or perhaps he's just doing really well at his job.

We should have kept Venus then. It would have been down to goal difference if we’d stayed up or not

Purely out of interest, what do you think we should have done when Mowbray left at the end of Sept 2016? Genuine question. MV had a reasonalble start with 3 home wins, despite the Charlton defeat, before the slide began. If you were TF back then, what would you have done? Personally I have no idea!!

Hired a football manager. Robins probably

He shoe horned an unfit Joe Cole into the side because of his obsession with big names, insisted on playing Bigi, and signed Peter ramage and Steven hunt.
We had one chance of promotion back to the championship (yes he got us there) but then fucked it all up with his failings in the transfer market and tactical stubbornness

Looking at the Blackburn squad, that must be easily the biggest wage bill in league one by a country mile. Theres no 2 ways about it, he failed at cov, should have finished in the play offs with that squad and didn't and poorly recruited in the second season and 0 wins from 10 was terrible.
Good luck to him, but he is nothing special.

He fucked us over big time, he left us with hardly any apparent assets Jones apart, signed Turnbull and the likes, had us playing great at 1 stage but then really did screw us over and alledgedly walked away with no pay off ....probably because he was so fucking embarrassed

There is a thin line between success and failure and Mowbray epitomizes that.
Hunt, Henderson and Ramage should have got us over the line but instead were busted flushes. Their experience should have assisted not hindered us and I think that in January most were saying it was the right move, like saying Slade was the right man to keep us up the following season.
Robins is walking the same tightrope as Mowbray. Let's see how history judges him!

Venus’s form would have had us finish third bottom over a season. Not sure what point you’re trying to make but as usual facts overtake it.

I agree. I believe fitting JC into the team and upsetting the rhythm and balance was a major factor in our decline. A great PR coup, but a fatal team move.

He had a 44% win ratio so not sure how we'd have finished bottom over an entire season.

Chief Commentator!
Some of his signings towards the end of his CCFC career were just bizarre. That’s where I think he went wrong.
We’re they his choice of signings? Or was it a SISU conspiracy to stop us playing so well? Who knows
Either way, he’s doing well now with a strong team.
Good luck ‘Tone

I think that stat is included cup games. I’m talking league form. Think he only won 3 in 15 in the league.

you're on the wrong thread you crackpot!
Started messing around with the team after starting a winning run.
Never change a winning team.

Watched a bit of the Blackburn v Wigan game at the weekend. Blackburn 2-0 up and then sat back and let Wigan dominate possession, territory and inevitably they got back to 2-2.
Warmed my heart to see another team sitting back and throwing away a lead.
