Tony Mowbray Discussion

The arrogance in that press conference is honestly astounding. He literally says nobody could do a better job than him unless they had £100m+ to spend. 

He’s completely deluded.

His words still sound of a man who knows he’s off at the end of the season, which gives me the tiniest bit of hope. But as we know, he’s only ever one phone call away from getting bumper new deals for him and his Coventry mates.

Sorry now, but fuck me, thats a tough read

“I’ve said that before, I don’t say that trying to be clever, I just can’t understand why people wouldn’t support their club, why they want to be negative about anything?

Changing the manager is no problem to me, I’ve said this to you before, I don’t want to be a burden on this club, change the manager, you’re not getting Pep Guardiola to turn you into a super, amazing football team.

 

“I can’t affect the noise in the background, and let me tell you that when I leave, there’s only going to be another guy you are sat here asking the same questions to.

“Unless someone gives him £100m or £200m to get him experienced, talented footballers to get out of this league, you’re going to have the same questions and have the same days, the same results.

“My job is to try and put a team out on the pitch who work and fight for the club, and to understand there’s no magic switch.

“You aren’t getting Pep Guardiola to come in and change this team, and even he spent £200m on full backs alone to try and win a title.

Where's Shebby when you need him! 

 

 

(Joke! that odious cretin should never be allowed back near our club, if only for his distress remarks about Morten) 

[1864roverite]

His words are even more hollow than usual, deluded, thick or just gutless? he is all 3 in huge portions.

 

How he doesnt think he is a burden is as ignorant as one can be. Get out and now.

If he was sacked he is is not going to get massive compensation he wouldnt even get his full salary due over the remainder of his current contract so get him out and NOW!

[Bigdoggsteel]

I don't think he believes hes as good as we can get, but thats how he is spinning it 

[Mattyblue]

So thin skinned if that’s his response.

Just shows what an easy ride he’s had from the fanbase throughout. Even after the worst home defeat in our history it was muted.

He’d have got absolute pelters anywhere else… indeed he would’ve here just a few years back.

[Displaced Rover]

Just read the article in the LT. What a giant fuck you. It's like he's just trying to deliberately antagonise the fan base at this point. The classic Mowbray reaction - "question me and I'll get the hump and sit with my arms crossed".

I was on the fence about tomorrow given I've been a bit unwell this week but I want to be there and I want to make my displeasure apparent to this prick.

Get him out of our club now.

[tomphil]

He's a complete twat and has been for 2 years now.

Entirely predictable it's nothing to do with him hes spun it all back onto fans etc. He's the victim in all this just trying to clear up the mess.

Honestly you'd have to be a real plank to just sit there and not genuinely question his part in it all.  Come 5pm tomorrow though hes stealthily set himself up to be the hero again if we win.

Sickening merry go round of nonsense this is.  The Mowbray era should've ended on good terms 2 years or at least 12 months ago. It should be looked back on as one of fond stability but instead it's turning into a farce.

he's just a moron. 

 

you only have to look at the majority of other clubs that have reached the play offs or even won automatic promation in the past 10 years since we've been down here. Most are are just in the same financial position as we have been, some even worst off!! The difference is ALWAYS that they have quality managers getting the very best out of what they have at their disposal and creating a positive winning mentality amongst their players. 

Also most of the managers of those teams probably achieved what they did whilst only being at their clubs a couple of years!! where as Mowbray must surely now be one of the longest serving managers in the professional leagues! 

 

Mowbrays just a cynical defeatest, and has with his words here just openly admitted that he doesn't believe we will ever achieve anything unless he's given hundreds of millions to spend on new players😲

Yes, yes he did

So basically he doesn't believe he can get us promoted and never did

Get him out the funk!

[Bigdoggsteel]

I don't know why any fan wouldn't go and vent on Saturday, if they could. Now is the time 

[Miller11]

That interview could’ve come straight from the dry lips of Steve Kean.

Not saying Mowbray is worse, but I think that interview may be worse. 

Tone deaf and along with the players liking reeds post, just shows the loser mentality 

[roverandout]

Hes basically trying to turn fans on fans. Like a certain kean did 

[roverandout]

Read some of the responses on the let to his interview.  Astounding.  Apparently they enjoy listening to his words and he cares very deeply. And we shouldn't be negative.  He's really pulled the wool over the eyes of many

and that could easily lead to trouble within the home sections of Ewood Park.

He didn't even apologise!!!

[Mr. E]

What a nasty, nasty, nasty individual. Our only hope is that he leaves end of the season. Unless Venkys offer him a new contract, which will be probably be the final nail in the coffin for the club. 

[DE.]

The cheek of this bloke who's been here for a cup of coffee compared to most fans telling us how to support our club. Of course he also had to go for a nostalgic trip down memory lane regaling his days going to watch Boro. I wonder how often you watched them get trounced 7-0 at home, Tony? Even back in those days when there were more high scoring games I bet it wasn't often.

[Mattyblue]

How many tickets has he paid for in his life considering he’s been on the books of clubs/in the game since being a teenager?

The ‘flask and bovril on the terraces’ routine has always been a load of old blarney with him.

[Displaced Rover]

Another thing that’s jumped out of this interview. What is this weird ongoing obsession he has with categorising footballers (all adults) between “men” and “boys”? It’s like he’s living in some sort of weird Oliver Twist style fantasy world…

That's really strange that Pep and £200 million is needed because I could have sworn that Blackpool and Coventry were in worse positions than TM inherited with is but are now above us in the league. And that's without either Pep or the dosh.

Exactly what I thought, deflection technic to shift the blame from a still completely disfunctional club onto the fans, and that blame falls at the Venkys  door every time.

Other than coming off as incredibly patronising, it's really just a poor excuse. In general there's only a gap of around 1-2 years average between most teams in the division. From memory Sheff Utd have one of the highest average squad ages in the division at around 27, and look how their season has been going so far.

Meanwhile we have the second top scorer in the Championship here and he's 22. 

"we’re a team that don’t have Danny Graham or Charlie Mulgrew, we don’t have that experience, not because we got rid of them, but because their age ran away with them."

I'm not even sure WTF he's on about here. We've replaced Mulgrew with Ayala, so how is that a gap? Both spend roughly the same amount of time in the treatment room as well, so it's practically a like-for-like. Graham meanwhile was replaced firstly by Armstrong and now by Brereton who are outperforming him as far as scoring is concerned. 

Let's also keep in mind the same squad with the likes of Graham, Bennett and Mulgrew got relegated and only ever managed a record-high Championship finish of 11th. 

Long story short, Mowbray is talking shit as usual.

😂 Words fail me.

He must have better telekinetic abilities than I gave him credit for, as the only times I saw him on the touch line, he was standing there with his hands in his pockets!

More front than Blackpool Prom.
