Tony Mowbray Discussion

[Gav]

You could bring Guardiola in and we'd not get promoted...

The clubs got a bit of stability back under Waggot and Mowbray, but we're going nowhere under Venkys, thats the reality of our situation.

Someone has just suggested Chris Hughton and Mark Robins, Ainsworth or Johnson, if thats the market we'd be aiming for and i doubt Hughton would come here, I'll stick with Mowbray thanks very much.

All that said........

Give Mark Hughes £15m to spend on players and a big bonus to get us up, job done 

We'd not be coasting through games thats for sure.

My view at the beginning of the season was it all depended on Gallagher and Brereton working out - he spent almost the entire transfer budget on them so we needed 25 league goals from the pair and we’ve had 5 is it? Add in the fact Walton has been a catastrophe and we were goosed from the start entirely because of his transfers. Time’s up.

Bristol City just fired their manager.

Over to you Suhail

TM now longest serving manager in the division.

[tomphil]

To be honest despite the flop this season i still believe Gallagher and Brereton are both capable of better than they've shown.

However under this manager i doubt they ever will because his handling and use of them has been abysmal. He's done great with Armstrong and Dack but the fact that one is quality and one actually has natural goal scoring ability really helped him on that level.

If the owners don't want to write off most if not all of those investments - because that's the only reason they funded them - then they need a manager who has some nous how to use them.

If Tony does go (I can’t see it happening myself) then I don’t want us to go anywhere near the revolving failures (Pulis, Hughes and the likes). It’s not progressive in any way.
Look at Nuno and Bielsa who came to the Championship, albeit for much richer clubs, even Wagner taking Hudds up, or Farke taking Norwich up.  

I’d prefer a manager of the ilk you mention but I’d take Mark Hughes back in a heartbeat.

[Fraserkirky]

Yeah I’d take Mark Hughes back in a heartbeat

[unleaded]

Wow Only Venkys could keep him as the longest serving manager... They just go from one extreme to another .... 

He just knows how to milk the cow ...

How many of our better players are going to hang around for another season of this dross ?

If I'm Nyambe or Travis' agent I'm angling for a move away. They both have a lot of potential and could play for more ambitious clubs.

Definitely, Lenihan is probably thinking the same thing.

I’m not a betting man, but I wouldn’t bet on us winning a game in what remains of this season. 
We look terrible.

Then bet on the opposition.  Proved very profitable for me this week!

Nuno got the Wolves job due to his agent. 

Stuart Webber who was sporting director at Huddersfield when he appointed Wagner then he walked out on them for Norwich where he appointed Farke.

I think Brereton isn't a footballer. He's absolutely shocking. I've followed Rovers since about 1993 and I would say he is our worst signing in that period if you consider relative cost to budget.

Gallagher does have something about him though as we know from his first spell. But he isn't a right-fookin-winger.

I would give Damien Johnson a whirl with someone lined up in the background if it doesn't work out.

Managers and players coming back very very rarely works out.

Finally. I live in Bristol and he’s been coasting it for far too long. Fan pressure finally got there. What pressure is there on Mowbray? None.

[bazza]

Mark Hughes had 3 very good backroom staff with him when he was at Rovers. One of them is manager of Reading. I don't know where Nediwinski (?) and the other fella is. But Hughesy on his own may not be as good.

[darrenrover]

Waggot needs replacing first and foremost and the new man empowered sufficiently to hire and fire the first team manager. It's the only thing that will ever work with our absentee landlords.

If that were to happen, then watch every bugger else wake up from their slumber!

Spent £37 million over the last 2 seasons, awful manager.

[AAK]

To be honest not sure who we would get in, lost a lot of interest in the game over the last few years, so dont have a clue which good upcoming managers are out there. However the current manager seems to have reached his peak here. Clearly cannot spend decent cash when put before him, woeful tactics and the odd mentality of playing players out of position, mean he really should move on.

Eddie Niedzwiecki is Mark Bowen number 2. Kevin Hitchcock is goalkeeper coach at MLS team New England Revolution. Glyn Hodges is manager at AFC Wimbledon.

In fairness did they not receive about £40 million for 3 players last close season which kind of balances things up? I think one went to Dingles for about £10m.

7 and a half Sam Gallaghers !  I'll be having nightmares now. How many goals is that equal to - about 10 ?
