No mate. My connections are possibly better than his 😉

And incidentally, I’m not really one to give it any ITK crap, but I’m told by someone I trust implicitly, and that is in a position to know, that TM will be gone within a couple of days. 

Hope you are right. 
So based on what you are saying, the final straw just got broke off the camels back. 
 

I honestly believe that with a decent manager we have a top 6 squad. I would want someone proven like Wilder or someone up and coming/foreign.

As I said, 'Think he'll be gone by 3.00 pm tomorrow. Maybe Waggott too - some serious noise'.

My understanding is Waggott is now backed into a corner.

IMO, a racing certainty - if only I could get a feckin bet upon this happening.

Oddly it seems that the local journalists ‘turning’ have been the decisive factor and not the 1 win in 14 or failing to score in 13 of the last 18 games.

Bizarre!

Yep. That’s pretty much what I’m hearing mate. But it took noise from journos rather than results to tip the balance.

The power of journalism. No joke either.

I have zero sympathy for the Venkys. They keep on employing cretins but from their point of view I can see them sat in India saying we have zero interest in running this football club, regret getting involved, but we employ people on vast salaries to do it for us (swag on £300k, dread to think what pasha is on) yet 10 years and £200 million in it’s still a car crash.

If only they’d listened to the management structure we had in place when they bought us. Nope they had to side with Jerome Anderson. But they’re business people albeit 2nd generation. They must be asking what swag has done ever for £300k. Why pasha has missed the signs of the dysfunction nature of a manager appointing the ceo.

It’s barmy

possibly seen as a more accurate barometer than waggott more neutral

Cheers. I sincerely hope you're right.

Might put that champers in the fridge then. 😉

One only wonders why there is not yet a Netflix series based on this.

I so so so hope you're right, it's well past due and will be a huge relief. The issue comes with who the clowns in Pune stumble across next - though I don't think it can get any worse than Mowbray, it'll be a huge surprise if we get the calibre of manager we need to get this club back where it belongs.

I'm flabbergasted with his comments in that interview. Think performance based coach nonsense has annoyed the hell out of me. Tony, we live in a result driven businesses. Win games is the name of the games not performances. 

This is your squad Mowbray that you have built and earlier in the season you said it was top 6 quality so why are 17th in the league and 1 win in last 14 games and haven't score in 24 1st half in 40 games this season? 

Hes in self preservation to defend his incompetence. Do you not hold any annoyance towards our absent owners for not giving enough of a shit to do their job and sack him?

And, if true, doesn't that just speak volumes,  not only about their incompetence, but also about how image and reputation is the one thing they truly value above all else.

And that isn't their reputation in the eyes of the plebs who buy season tickets,  but their reputation in the eyes of people who they think matter and who they think have influence. 

Worth remembering.

going back to the press LET haven't called for his head neither have Lancs live i havent seen anything public from any other beat reporters either

I can go with that but why did they not act similarly with the Kean front page editorial?

[matt83]

If Tonebola does go I’ll be delighted, however, it happens but I’ll be slightly mad if the reason is because of a few questions from the media. What is waggott actually there for some sort of Mowbray cheerleader. Following him round brockhall chanting give me an T, give me an O, give me an N, give me a Y.

To be fair, Andy Bayes gave it a good go today before he was shut down by TM. His pre match comments were spot on aswell.

No idea. Maybe because they had bigger fry pissing in their ears at the time i.e. Sky sports types. Nobody cares now outside the LT, LL or RL. 

[broadsword]

Maybe time to start our own newspaper
