I think the only persons coming in for him would be the men in white coats!

ToMo headhunted ?

Can't see it, unless he's intending to take his wife on safari this summer.

Mr Kipling is rumoured to be keen. If they can get to Tony they can get Mrs M's Drizzle recipe.

The art of good comedy is to know when to exit stage left, taxi for Hoochie.

(But I'm still laughing over someone poaching of Mowbray) 😆

Brilliant.

I'll take no lessons off you, sir!

Dream on guys. I’d be flabbergasted if they canned him.

The mistake most people make (IMO) is two-fold. Firstly, assuming that the owners have the same objectives as the fans, and secondly, the old chestnut of “it has to be this year or we’ll lose Armstrong/Rhodes/Shearer/Speedie/Field/Pickering...”

The owners would probably be delighted to cash in on Armstrong (assuming they even know who he is), and we lose our best players no matter where we finish, or who is the manager. The view from Pune is very different to the view from the Riverside.

He really is unbelievable. He appears to have forgotten the £7 Million he spent on Brereton, the £5 Million on Gallagher, the wonderkid on loan from Liverpool, the Germany international central midfielder and the England international who played for Liverpool that he spent the last of his budget on.

He also seems to have forgotten that when Stoke brought O'Neill in they were bottom of the league. The thing is despite O'Neill spending just £2 Million in his time at Stoke he hasn't targeted any slow build and in 12 months he has taken them from bottom of the league to top 6 contenders.

Jesus Christ does he even think before he speaks? How does nobody call him out on his b*llocks? Surprised a manager or two hasn’t had a pop back yet.

TM: “We’re in the middle of winter and the pitch isn’t fine. It’s really, really poor. “So does the team and coach have to find a different way to play? Yeah, I think we’re at that stage."

Shameless. The clues where there when he decided on the Brereton gamble when we needed a defence.

[roversfan99]

I dont understand what style he has in mind, he mentioned being reluctant to go direct but we dont have a competent target man anyway.

After listening to him babble on about adapting to a new approach he's now looking to change? So another 6-12 month transition period? What a bellend.

Had to laugh at the Stoke article talking of the value of their loan players. Yes Tony, the same loan players you could be targeting. Then he mentions an 'international manager' being in charge - Jesus Christ....

Not a chance he's walking, the guy is in full on self preservation mode.

Mark Hughes spent £90m at Stoke by the time he was sacked in 2018, we were spent £1.7m that year.

Mowbrays comments are nonsense, but some perspective maybe.

And how many of those players that £90 Million was spent on are still at Stoke? Not many I would wager.

We probably haven't spent £90m in our entire history I'd wager.

Just sayin.

Without googling I reckon we've spent about that this century.

That wasn't the question I asked and your wager would be spectacularly wrong.

Well Clucas, Vokes and Ince cost a combined £20 million in transfer fees alone.

But none of those were signed by Hughes.

We’ve spent 90m since the 2008/2009 season - that season included.

Stoke have spent roughly 65 million since coming down to the championship plus huge on wages aswell.
