Tony Mowbray Discussion

[yellowsubmarine]

Wild but just realised Thierry Henry is available. Knows best about making possession football count (during his Arsenal/Wenger days). Continuing the journey from Tony, maybe?

TM- ‘You can’t fluke your way out of this league’

 

Also TM-’We don’t have time to do set pieces’

’I don’t really do formations

Somebody on Twitter said how Pulis mentioned Mowbray was lucky to still be in a job. Didn’t hear/see anything myself but could add some weight if he did say as much.

Yes he did ..more on the lines of how long (length of time) he actually had got  to build a team . Very fortunate.

Curtis Davies also put the boot in last night too when asked how Derby stopped the rot in terms of how Rovers could ..by changing manager!

“We’re on a journey, but if that journey for me stops, then I want to make sure the club don’t throw it all out and start again with something different.’

Aye, because a McCarthy or a Pearson would carry on with this naive, ineffective ‘progressive football’ that has seen us hurtle down the league...

Really, really sounded like he’s going and he knows it though

They are not sitting on the shitter or pissing in a corner either.

Well its 13:15PM in India. I would suspect the news will be coming in the next few hours, if its going to come at all.

[1864roverite]

1 point out of 21 is a pathetic return and evidence that change is required! Just 10 points out if that lot would have seen us still on the edge of the top 10 now we are really up against the relegation dogfight.

Mowbray out!

I just can't see it happening. 

It absolutely needs to happen but Venkys are terrible owners and because they like Mowbray, they won't bin him.

An appalling way to run a club

Well if they doctor the pitch again the Venky's will be free by the weekend to make a decision.

Not any more. It would be a shell of the club he left.

Kean was about 6.30. I remember getting in from work, turning on Sky Sports News and immediately getting the 'champagne beer' which I'd been saving in the fridge for when it happened.

Pulis would hardly be the ideal option but it's certainly better than the scenario we are in right now. He has a promotion from this league under his belt, kept the likes of Stoke, Palace and WBA in the premiership, something which is beyond Mowbray, whose one season in the prem saw his team dead last. Even in a season when only 35 points were needed for safety, he finished not only relegated but even looking up to the heights of 18th and 19th. Besides, Pulis teams do not play worse football than the dreary tedium we've served up during 2021. Nope, not anywhere near my top choices but still a definite improvement. Then again, so would Bielsa's bucket be compared to the recent shower of shite served up. 

Nobody on here really knows though, do they? They don't know if Mowbray will even be sacked, so how the heck can anybody know it'd then be Pulis-time?

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

I think they will stick with him in the hope he keeps us up. Then appoint someone new during the summer. Not the best approach in my view, but this is venky land round these parts 

[CambridgeRover]

Carter and Magloire showing they can both do it in professional football but we needed to loan in two unproven players because who knows why

Small amendment above. 😉

Late Saturday afternoon India time looks likely to clear

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

He's not going anywhere. The only thing we can hope for is that we get lucky and scrape the 3 more wins we need to stay up. Then hopefully they get rid of him in the summer... but even then I wouldn't be surprised if we're stuck with him for the relegation battle next season as well.

The Journey

[JHRover]

Concerned reading his comments.

He refers to 'the journey' and that he might not be a part of it moving forward but that he wants to ensure that if he leaves that the club doesn't rip it all up and start afresh.

I sincerely hope he isn't suggesting that he should have a role in appointing his successor and it wouldn't surprise me if the basis for this is to get Johnson or Venus into the hot seat and Mowbray go upstairs.

Yeah, getting rid of Mowbray and then finding out that either of Venus or Lowe are appointed as a caretaker manager would be a real nightmare.

Would be a terrible decision, as he would not doubt go on a reasonable run towards the end of the season and Venky's would change their minds.

I wouldn't take it to mean that. I would say he doesn't know what they are thinking or planning either.

Possible. Especially with the pressure off.
