Tony Mowbray Discussion

[Boroblue]

I’m I missing some interviews or is Mowbray very quiet at the moment.

Holtby, Downing, Bennett, Mulgrew, Bell, Evans, (Elliott, THB, that Everton kid loans) and probably Armstrong - off the top of my head.

Nobody could complain too much about the 6 first ones leaving in isolation, it is just we now need bodies in. Squad is threadbare.

Plus Trybull and Douglas.

Eleven out I think. No loss at all with most of them but in an ideal world I'd say we'd need three quality permanent additions in and a couple of decent loans.

And that's without losing Armstrong.

Self isolating due to Covid regulations allegedly but you're right, it doesn't prevent him from giving an interview or two.

[Boroblue]

He would usually be bemoaning his lack of players and experience. The need for recruitment. Droning on about football philosophy and how the players need to buy into it. No journey stuff. Maybe Covid has taken his voice. Obviously this is a prelude to a long repetitive LT article today

The club operates in silence, it doesn't even communicate with its own supporters

Perhaps everyone is busy dealing with the surge for season tickets before deadline day ?

John Terry has left Villa, could he be the one coming through the door and Mowbray exiting?

[roversfan99]

Mowbray is clearly going nowhere, so no.

Off to Swansea I believe

Swansea in a worst position than us. Not a pot to piss in, their own players being sold and relying on loans/freebies. Any monies being generated are pocketed by the yanks. Potter threatened to walk before he took the first training session because of lack of investment. Cooper used his contacts to bring in some quality, again he threatened to walk last season and was talked out of it. I would assume Terry will talk to both of them before making a decision. All he can get from it would be one seasons experience. What would happen to his reputation if they finish near the bottom or got regulated?

This all comes from friends who are Swansea season ticket holders.

There's an interesting article on BBC as well backing up some of these points. In the vain hope of finding clubs worse than us this season Swansea and Derby seem to be trying to knock the relegation certs off of us. They seem in a bad, bad way. Difference being they have smartly recruited and been the right end of the table despite their struggles.

Lets hope Rooney joins in more Derby training sessions.

Not happening. Mowbray is staying. Wouldn't want Terry anyway

A marked improvement on Mowbray and has been learning his trade under decent managers

[tomphil]

Anybody who has a winning mentality and the ability to tell it straight, good or bad would be very refreshing.

No as he isn't HSH and Mowbray isn't going anywhere

Relegation is 8/1. I was expecting about 3/1. I’m sure that price will tumble when lose Armstrong.

After Armstrong goes and there’s no signings I think the odds will come down. Then during Mowbray’s first august-September death spiral we’ll be odds on.

Im not convinced we will go down. Hopefully the pre Xmas new manager bounce should be enough.

For the last 18 months I’ve said given enough time Mowbray will leave us in exactly the position a Coyle left us in when he took over. I think this will be the season. Bottom 3 by December and sacked, followed by a month to find a replacement as it’ll be such a “shock”

I've used a couple of free bets on it so not really out of pocket if we survive. Do you think they'll pot Tony if we are in trouble at Xmas? I wish i shared your confidence.

They’ve pulled the trigger before I have to believe for my own sanity they will do again. Although I appreciate their last golden boy who shall remain nameless was allowed to walk. So hopefully with the fans in (how many are left is another thing) giving him both barrels he’ll think sod this back to boro.

Nothing more left to say just fucking leave

[simongarnerisgod]

mowbray is only leaving if he decides to,he is`nt getting sacked,mainly because swag and himself have persauded venkys to take a back seat and let them run all departments of the club,he will get stressed though come november when we are inevitably hovering above the drop zone and the fans are getting at him,his vanity means he does`nt take criticism well
