I’m wondering if the stars align whether he might be a contender for the job. Pure speculation on my part and no def info whatsoever, but with Blackburn in poor form and TM having a year left on his deal, they might decide its time to part ways in the not too distant future which presumably would be relatively cheap for them to do. If that coincides with a takeover at Ipswich and the search for a new gaffer, I wonder if that could be an option? |  |

Much better option than Cook.
Lets hope it happens. |  | | |

Love Mogga. Just not sure about him as a manager.
So, no thanks from me. | | | |

Why do you think it's a better option? Hopefully the reasoning isn't just because he's a former player.
Blackburn don't want him for a reason and given we are hoping to compete with Blackburn should we want him?
Top bloke of course but am not convinced on the managerial move.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Cream always rises to the top (Mogga said that to us the night Burley got sacked).
Mogga with Venus would move us forward as a club I am sure. What is there about Blackburn as a club at the moment that means they should be in the play offs? He took them from League 1 to where they are. If he was given the financial backing to go further, I am sure he would be capable. |  |

Indeed, he's done well but if you look at he win percentages over the last decade it's lower than Paul Cook at every club he's managed (Cook over 40% at 3 clubs).
Not saying he wouldn't be a good shout, just that we need to look at things not specifically through the lens of connections to the club.

Win percentages are not a perfect way to judge a manager, though.
The same win percentage at Manchester City in the Premier League is not equivalent to Hull in the same league. It depends a lot on at what level and with what backing. | |

Not for me.
Cook for sure. Worked wonders in the lower 2 leagues and not had the proper chance to prove himself above.
Mogga is steady mid table championship manager. I don’t know why but I get the feeling he’s not actually into us as much as people think either. | | | |

Totally agree they aren't the perfect way to judge things.
Given this how are you judging Mowbray?
I have nothing against him being appointed, just for some reason I have a nagging doubt about it. The worst thing would it do go badly and for his relationship with the fans to possibly sour.
Hence why perhaps I think we should look outside the club. It's a hard one.

Mogga and Cook took Wigan and Blackburn up as 1 and 2 in 18/19 and Mogga subsequently had Blackburn finish higher than Wigan both seasons when they competed in the Championship (even before Wigan's points deducation)
Mogga has had his jobs at a higher level, so comparing win percentages is a bit unfair - bar Boro and Celtic, Mogga has been successful in all his jobs, Cook has in all his last 3 jobs.
The big difference between them at the moment is that one is unemployed and was able to leave on a high, managerially speaking |  |

That's a fair summary and I take on board EDIT Stokie's (apols) points too. I see him as very like Burley in character and outlook.
I have no problem with Cook but would love Mogga to be here at some point. Pearson would have been ahead both but was never going to happen. [Post edited 27 Feb 2021 13:32]

Im not a def info person, Ive never pretended to be.
But I do know there was some sort of fall out between Mowbray and Evans several years ago about broken promises or going back on a word.
My mates Mrs is good friends with Mowbrays wife.
He has said in the past that he wouldn't work for Evans. |  | | |

And the takeover is one of the stars that might align.
Funnily enough WifeSentence used to know Mogga's wife, before she was Mogga's wife. They used to do gymnastics together. |  |

If the rumour that Cook has already turned down offered jobs then he is coming to us. | | | |
