Blackburn forward Sam Gallagher shared his opinion on Mowbray as a man and a manager, and he didn’t have a negative thing to say about our gaffer. He expects Mowbray to receive a warm welcome at Ewood Park.
REUNION
“I hope he gets a good reception because he’s done great things for this club. I’ll be looking forward to seeing him, but it will also be nice to get one over on him. He’s done loads as a man and a manager. I can’t say a bad word about him, the belief he had in me and I think the boys can say the same.”
GREAT MAN
“The signings he made, loans or players he’s brought in, it’s been people who can help the club and who have tried to do the best for the club. Overall he is a great man and that’s what I respect the most about him.”
MISSING OUT ON PROMOTION
“A lot, and it was just as much as us wanting to do it for me as it was us doing it for ourselves and the club. He had so much belief in everyone and you knew he wanted the best for us. When it came to that point last time when we knew we’d missed that opportunity, everyone was gutted.”
MOVING ON
“It was a shame but everything has to move on and move with the times and that’s what happens. When you look at any manager, a physio, a player, to have that much time at one club doesn’t happen too much anymore. For him to have been at the club for such a long time and improving every year, it shows what a great manager he was.”
