Football Insider say it's Mowbray.

They didn't like, Alex Neil was an excellent coach by all accounts. Mowbray is not a great coach, luckily he will have zero input on transfers or contracts

Cast your mind back, the place was in turmoil because it wasn't Keane and Neil was just a plodder who had one good season at Norwich. It was a unanimously underwhelming appointment according 5i this board.

I’m not behind the appointment, not against it either. But the dour football thing….. Alex Neil had us solid as a rock in League One and the football, at times, was f***ing miserable. Let’s not forget that it’s a results business.

and the one difference to that appointment is that there was a long term plan. Neil made it boring and relied more on experienced pros to get us up and grind out results. He was never going to play like that this season because there was a long term plan. There's a reason Dan Neil has started every game he's been available for and came straight back into the team after a red card despite being sat on the bench permanently under AN last year. The exact same thing happened with Lee Johnson. Embleton out on loan, Neil playing pizza games, Stewart sat on the bench and Max Power, Scowen and Leadbitter in midfield with Wyke up front with a long term plan of playing attacking football the season after and using Neil, Embleton, Stewart etc as your main players.

What's the long term plan with this appointment?

Didn't seem like they made any sort of effort to tie him down, almost like they were resigned to losing him.

Neil was happy to sign 2 contracts offered by SAFC then rejected another when Stoke came calling. You may have an argument about the third offer not being enough but Neil considered the first two entirely acceptable so their efforts to secure him initially and renew 4 weeks ago surely have some merit ?

You sell us this shit of longevity and progress and expect us believe this shit, beginning of the end and rightly so if this is true you haven't got a clue seriously. You sell us this shit of sustainability and expect us to waste our lives. Fuck you both.

In my opinion no, Broadhead scored a fair few, we were lucky in some games

Hold on then biggie.

Gallagher scored 1 less goal last season for Blackburn than broadhead did for us. Yet Mowbray only finished 8th because of Diaz but that doesn't apply to Neil and Stewart?

Then you said we were lucky, yet Neil is a great manager and Mowbray only finished 8th because of Diaz again?

You haven't got a clue man. Tying yourself up in knots.
