If you want Mowbray, it’s worth keeping an eye on Bradford vs Shrews tonight 20:07 - Apr 12 with 4283 viewsSuperfrans

If Mowbray is the man we’re targeting, he is unlikely to talk about any more details until Blackburn's season is concluded, I'm sure - certainly not until they are promoted.

They're currently 5 points and massive goal difference ahead of Shrewsbury, who are away at Bradford tonight. If the Shrews lose, Blackburn will be just 3 wins away from promotion - and have 3 games in the next 12 days. Basically, they could be promoted by the 24th (or sooner, if Blackburn continue winning and the Shrews drop points).

All "ifs" and "buts", but it might be possible to talk to Mogga before the end of this month - with appointment following early in May.

What if they go up? Why would he leave them for us? The Town job isn't a bigger job right now with a total lack of backing.

I can see them going up, Town chasing Mowbray for a few weeks while refusing to pay his compensation before giving up and appointing Kuqi or Wartburton. I know the compensation isn't going to be a massive amount but I can see Evans just paying it without long negotiations and eventual failure.

If Blackburn do go up, like you, I'm wondering why Mowbray would leave them for us.

Personally, I can’t see why we are waiting until after the season has ended to get someone unless it’s Mowbray. And I can’t see why we would wait unless we had a fairly good idea that he, a, would come even if they are promoted, b, know what compo we’d have to pay and what package he would expect.

Given the number of other managers who are available and likely to appeal to Evans (Mclaren, Warburton etc) I just can’t believe we’d wait for a Hurst, Jones or similar.

I’m convinced we want Mowbray, know he wants to come and that we can afford him, and are just waiting to do the deal.

Good points.

Hopefully TM will use the promotion as leverage to try and get a decent war chest. Can't see it though. If Evans wouldn't back MM he's unlikely to back anyone else.

He might be tempted by wages. Mick was on a million a year wasn't he? I can't see the Venkys paying Mowbray that much.

Family from Suffolk, has said he wants to come back, this maybe the last chance for him to do so, chance to build a long term project, Venkys at Blackburn, worked with Klug, Hogg and Nash - and I reckon our strategy fits in with waiting for him. Why else would we wait until May if not for a perfect candidate?

It’s Mogga.

Last chance?

Why else are we waiting if not for him?
Do we really think Evans is waiting for Clarke, Jones, Hurst? I just don’t buy it.
He’s the only one worth waiting for who Evans is likely to favour.

Of course, it’s just a hunch. And a bit of wishful thinking, maybe. But I reckon it’s on.

A certain individual at the club told me he’s 100% certain Mogga would come here as well.

It’s worth remembering that Mrs Mowbray is actually an Ipswich girl ! It might have a sway on where the Mowbray family end up.

I can confirm that Town have indeed been testing the water regarding Mogga for some time. This came from his father-in-law, who I spoke to face to face about 2months ago.

The problem could be re settling the children int9 schools at a point in their schooling when it’s not good to move them, and also the lack of fund8ng support from Evans....( his words not mine)!

I believe the 2 times before were when he was at Celtic and Boro.
Completely different to Blackburn;
- bigger jobs
- more sane owners than Venkys
- also Moggas former clubs

Think the managers chair has his name on it if he wants it..

Blackburn are an absolute mess ownership wise though and will back even less than Evans.

I’d assume he’ll jump to get away from the Venkys

I think that factor is quite important in it's own right at the moment, not the essential requirement for a new manager but certainly a nice to have.

I think Mowbray's approach to playing football is the predominant factor though, the record may be a bit mixed but Hibs and West Brom were very good. There needs to be a contrast with Mick's approach.

On one occasion it was because Keane was still in charge (although at the end of his time here), and Mowbray wouldn't speak to Evans until Keane was completely gone. I'd say that's fair really, and hardly turning us down.
