Tony Mowbray Discussion

Listened to his interview today. He spoke in the third person all the way through and I never heard him use words like “my job is to...” etc...he spoke about everything ‘the club’ needs to do because they’ve spent the last few weeks and days handing over and dealing with pressing issues.

When has he EVER known the budget at this stage? It’s happening... 

Is there a link to this interview. I appeared to have missed it. 👍

No way is this squad a Pullis squad and he wouldn't suit the young player development line.

However if it's top 6 you want and being hard to beat then him, a bit of backing and 2 or 3 windows would be logical.

If they are only interested in rotating players for squad value might as well leave Mowbray in situ. Put STs up to £500 each and let him and the 4k who turn up and sit in mid/lower mid confusion forever.

For what it’s worth - Nixon (ha) and Myers reckon that he’ll be here next season.

[tomphil]

Are we back to having different factions at the club and in Pune wanting different things ?

I think we could be, this warned of years ago when TM & his mates got their feet firmly under the table. Very hard to shift and very expensive.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Tony Mowbray Out !

For some reason it seems he is 100% staying until summer, meaning the last 3 games are totally pointless

Oh well... 

 

[broadsword]

Even if we did get rid of him, does anyone have any faith that the next guy would be any better

Mowbray and Waggott vs. Pasha? Pune loathe to sack despite his recommendations due to loyalty and £?

Myers makes me laugh happy for mowbray to stay in the job underachieving, but god forbid if it was happening at Everton!. Not sure Nixon has the inside line, that said my journo contact was sure Mowbray was safe

Yeah fully agreed. I like Alan and have a lot of time for him, but he seems surprised that Rovers fans, in general, want Mowbray out. As you say, if an Everton manager had won 2 in 17 then he’d be leading a mutiny and utilising every media contact he has.

Hes a dickhead, did a shite job here, but to be fair hes a fucking sky sport reporter, so how the hell the knobhead got a job here who knows, sums up this shit tip of a club.

Nixon saying he been told that Mowbray stays and that he is already lining up deals and in talks with players ffs

The only consolation here is they simply wouldn’t have a clue if Mowbray were to stay or go. Who would tell them? Blingy? Madame? Even Pasha? Not a chance.

Mowbray/Waggott because they've already been told they are staying. 

Too much wishful thinking going on in this thread. 

[Theaxe15]

This thread has gone from Mowbray and co definitely going to him being in discussions with new signings. What a rollercoaster. What a depressing rollercoaster.

Not guilty this end. I just don’t think those two would have a clue either way. Like the rest of us.

Some ITKs have the inside line Hoochie..🤭

[matt83]

I have no contacts from within but I’ll tell you all what we all know to be true. Mowbray has no shame. Mowbray’s employers have no standards. Mowbray stays. Simple as that.

So suddenly Nixon is the font of all knowledge? He was telling us a completely different story a very short time ago. 
He really has no idea.

Not saying you are, and I stopped short of calling out the ITK troll.

But, it's not inconceivable to conclude that Pasha has been made aware of the general unhappiness of the fans > Pasha has informed the owners > the owners report back Mowbray has their backing because they've fallen for his BS excuses > Waggott/Mowbray tell everyone and anyone who will listen that Mowbray is staying. In fact I'd say that is the most likely scenario of all. 

Sharpe has reported the above pretty much. Mowbray is also talking about next season and player contracts, new signings etc. There is absolutely nothing to suggest he won't start next season as Rovers manager.

The same applies to ITK Mercer.

The only season we've ever been proactive in the transfer market under TM was the summer of 2017. I struggle to believe we're lining up any kind of deals, as that isn't how we work under Venky's. Everything is delayed, painfully slow and usually wrong. Considering the amount of players we have out of contract shortly we should be sorting out deals now - but I fully expect us to get to mid-July with at best a kid on loan from one of the greedy six and/or a Boro cast-off on a 4 year deal.

Possibly, i'm thinking Madame is saying leave it alone Balaji go play with something else instead. Wouldn't be surprised to see some new director or consultant pop up before next season.  Just to put a cat among the very comfortable pigeons again.

If he's lining up deals in advance you can be sure they are from his black book. That again indicates jobs for the boys before he possibly gets moved on.

Dangerous turf now with these 2 at the helm.

Yes absolutely, not sure why anyone would think otherwise. We are at rock bottom pal. Tony has lost the plot and the dressing room.
