Mowbray likely to be leaving Blackburn

Shame it’s all gone wrong for them as seems the way for Mogga’s teams after the new year.

From a Boro point of view it’s a good result as his Blackburn team always seem to
beat us!
 
watched it again and looked a tad dissapointed and balanced that with spending more time at home or nearer home

I know we had a bad patch but the way they fell from fighting for automatic to missing out altogether in the last few weeks has been incredible.

Seems to be the Mogga way. I remember smashing Sheff Wed at home some years ago (think Hoyte scored a worldly!) and we were flying high around Christmas time.

After Christmas we were terrible and we meekly finished midtable. It was the beginning of the end for him here.

Yea, sky match, took us briefly top of the league
 
Hartlepool would be ideal for him. Living at home, no great expectations. He could get them playing decent football that would keep the turnstile clicking.

Other than that, Billingham Town would be a good little number for him.

Can you see really see Tony Mowbray at Hartlepool?

I guess Coventry were in league two, and he too Blackburn from league one.

Hartlepool in the championship playoffs by 2025/26 season?
 
With Mowbray I wonder if his downfall I could be to do with not placing enough emphasis on sports science I.e that’s why his teams run out of steam during the back end of the season.

He generally makes good signings, has his teams playing good football but for some reason they fade away.

Somewhat related, I think that’s one of Klopps string points, of course he also makes good signings and gets his team playing good football but they seem to do well regarding injuries. (Apart from last season when every centre back seemed to get injured one after each other). The likes of Alison, Trent, Robertson, VVD (except last season), Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Mane etc seem to always be available.

Player injuries have always seemed to have been the responsibility of the player but I wonder how much the manager / coaching staff etc have to do with it.
I do find it fascinating how Liverpool’s bad luck with so many of their players suffering from asthma is in direct contrast to how many of their players seem to be available to play every game.

I was just going to say that I'm not sure Mowbray will be as open to some of the "approaches" that Liverpool take, to ensure their players are able to play all season, despite their awful asthma.

I was right in front of him going in when Boro Reserves played at Billingham Town just after he became manager.
He queued and paid to get in, and stopped and chatted to all the kids who wanted to say hello. What a gent
 
Hartlepool love a boro manager
Mowbray loves a boro academy player and he has a fantastic knack of finding hidden gems.. especially strikers more recently.
