Good God he talks some bollocks! 

Working class hero claptrap!

Going in the right direction...

Mowbrays interview interesting.

Mentioned that he might be replaced several times. Seems like he's going.

Sky pundits all pretty shocked and seem to think he's going also.

If that isn't the interview of a beaten man then I don't know what is. He's practically begging for his pay off.

[Bigdoggsteel]

What an interview. He wants to be sacked , he expects it. Venkys, for the love of god, put the man out of his misery!

Mowbray trolling us all with that interview. He's going nowhere, the sneaky bugger

What I found funny about this is the sky pundits were on one hand saying they thought we should be top six but also seemed to think Tony was under no pressure despite losing six in seven.

Bizarre.

Shocking interview , just reeling of the same sound bites and never looked at the camera.

Never trust someone who doesn't look you in the eye .

He will be gone before the next international break imo ,can see this form continuing a while yet.

What was Kean's worst run ? We are on 6 loses out of 7 .

Next 5 games are 4 top half teams and our record is terrible.

Wasnt Glen M on here recently saying he wanted Mowbray out or am I going mad? Seems to have changed his tune a fair bit on Twitter.

On February 19th, yes. Not sure what he's seen since that time to change his mind, if he has.

He's right about wanting a team that fights for every ball etc... but does he think that's what we are? Because I can count on one hand the number of times I think this team has been up for it.

[joey_big_nose]

I am intrigued about how exactly Venkys are going to find and negotiate with a new manager. The whole setup the club is so mental. 

As someone on here pointed out we got Mowbray through Paul Senior, who left when we got relegated. Then Mowbray effectively appointed Waggot (lol). So they don't know if they can really trust him to find a new manager. 

So they've got to go via an agency (but presumably will be wary of that after being rinsed by Kentaro). Or go for something mad like the Shebby Singh thing where thye get someone they trust to do it, even if they know nothing about football. 

We could be in a bit of weird situation where :

• Mowbray wants to go (his interview sounded like he does...)
• The owners want him out
• But the owners actually don't know how to do it.

How mad is that?

In that context I reckon maybe the rumours about Hughes could be true as he is well known enough for Venkys to just pick up the phone to him directly. But I imagine Hughes won't be particularly impressed with the level of dysfunction at the club if that is true.

Rumours about Hughes? Do tell... God, what a lift that would be...

Well he’s now saying he doesn’t think ‘the product is that bad’ and he fears who Venkys would appoint.

Oh nothing of any real substance. Think there was a snippet in the Sun or something a week or so back.

[Ghost7]

I miss the days when you could sing "sacked in the morning!" and the manager actually did get sacked in the morning.

I think a lot of the clues point towards Pulis. On the books of the agency supplying our previous 4 managers. And I’m sure he himself would chuck his cap straight in for the job. Convenient for both Venkys and Pulis.

Ah.... that would tie up with Mowbray banging on about possession football getting teams promoted in that interview, and you should stick with it, and not tear it up and start with a "new idea" - ie. Pullis hoof ball....

Jesus. Pulis would be a real downer.

It would be difficult at this point to get in somebody who would deliver worse than 1 point from 21 available. 

I mean, I get the concern, but under that logic we'll be stuck with Mowbray forever and looking at this season's regression we could be back in League 1 before too long. At the very least we can hope to tread water in the Championship for a few more seasons whilst our debts continue to increase and our non-playing assets are sold off... whatever way you look at it a change needs to be made.

You could be right there Joey, might all be sorted already.

It’d be interesting if Pulis had already been mooted at the club. I thought Mowbrays comments about keeping our footballing philosophy if he was to go were really odd...
