Tony Mowbray Discussion

[Bigdoggsteel]

He would take redundancy if offered though I think. He would then come clean about working here, say he did a great job and claim we have unrealistic expectations. 

Fingers crossed we appint someone who will shut him up

The only crumb of comfort I'm clinging to is that he may know he's history and this is a parting shot at the fans on the way out of the door.

it comes across the complete opposite to me it comes across as I am going nowhere so you can say what the hell you want i dont care

Man, he's not going anywhere and he knows it. That's very apparent. 

Yes, unfortunately that sounds like a man who knows he’s got things stitched up really nicely.

[JHRover]

I think it is fair to say that his head has gone.

He appeared to lose the plot and throw in the towel at the start of the year, inexplicably was allowed to continue through the summer but now it is different - rather than the defeated shoulder shrug it is antagonism of the support base.

He seems to be following the Kean guide book on how to divide and conquer the support base. I wonder if he's been taking advice from the same people as Kean once did.

Imply that anyone unhappy or critical of dismal performances/results or who questions his position is negative, not supporting the club and therefore by extension not a true fan.

Encouraging supporters to rise up and combat 'abusive' fellow supporters - abusive of course being expressing unhappiness at being humiliated.

Suggesting that unhappiness with Wednesdays debacle is a symptom of a modern social media disease - nonsense - in decades gone by there would have been a mob gathered by the reception waiting for him after the game.

Distraction tactics by referring to other clubs that are of no relevance at all to our situation

The perennial tale of us being 'young guys' not men and still learning how to play football - who has been running things for the last 5 years?

Heaven help this club. The only thing I agree with him on is that once he goes it will be some other substandard manager sat in his place making similar excuses working for the same pondlife.

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.

Another thing: Mentioning the £200 million on full backs alone is slimy, weasel words and disingenuous in the extreme. Pep did that to win the Premier League. We are talking about the championship. How is that a like for like comparison. What a snake.

“The guy who is shouting abuse, tell him to shut up and get on with supporting your team, that’s what would I do, that’s how I’ve always followed my team".

That comment right there is what will cause fights and arguments in the stands. Just like the Kean days. The FB/twitter/LT brigade will lap that crap right up. "Get behind the lads". This interview is worse than a Kean one, insulting us with nonsense about Pep and £200m.

Hugely irrisponsible, actively encouraging fans to police other other supports. Highly immoral too. Told you he isn't a good guy.

Glad you don't let them get to you because if this is your response when not got to, I'd hate to see your response when they do!

This as really annoyed me ,i am 59 years old and i played for the club i support as  Blackburn school boy when Jim Smith was here  40 years of ups and downs and to be honest i am lost for words for what i think of Mowbary at this moment in time, he needs to be very careful as the worm will turn if he carries on with his shite ...

Aww, and we came so close to getting a result, too...

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.

Give him shit!

Can't be there so my PC monitor better be able to cope with a verbal hammering.

Win or lose he is a twat.

Selfish bastards Fulham. Not letting us win so he could have taken us to the highest position we have been under the cretin.

There can be no question after this latest display of arrogance and disrespect to the fans, Mowbray is now firmly in Kean territory.

[K-Hod]

What I really don’t like is the word ‘abuse’ being conveniently redefined to support people’s arguments.

Criticism for being shit at your job isn’t abuse and it’s time the word was reclaimed. Not saying abuse doesn’t happen at all, as it does, but nowhere near to the extent Mowbray and his staunch defenders are saying.

[AllRoverAsia]

Lost for words at that interview. Probably a good thing.

What a weak shithead he is.

[Spartakfenni]

Mowbray lost it last season. His mate Waggott sat his fat arse on his grubby hands and did nothing. Mowbray is bomb proof while those morons are in charge. We need a campaign of targeting the owners to change the management including Waggott. My experience of Indian culture is that they are very loyal, so it has to be done carefully and with great respect to the owners.

[K-Hod]

As much as I preach about not copying and pasting on here, if anyone feels like being sound and copying and pasting the article into this thread, I’d be into it!

[Ghost7]

He will be gone soon as the form is going to get a hell of a lot worse; it's inevitable under him and fan patience seems close to a toxic level of thin. The owner's might want to spend a bit in January too and I doubt they'll want him involved in that.

Good point. Yes he's calling it abuse but actually it's criticism of his poor performances. It's another of his sneaky sly underhand ways to avoid any kind of accountability.

Just read this about Ayala "As I keep saying, I’m not the doctor, I’m not the physio. We’ll wait and see how quickly he recovers."

I may be old fashioned - but surely a good manager would speak to his Physio/Doctor so he knows this information ? Surely this is part of team preparation and forward planning to know this information ?

You're talking about a bloke who openly admitted to not having a plan in how to deal with the league's leading goalscorer and championship animal the other day.

He just sat back and watched Mitrovic run riot.

I think that sums it up

We would get the same days, the same results? This has literally never happened to this club before in all its proud history, what in the fuck are you talking about you goddamned fossil?!?

I just can't get over that not only has it not even occurred to him to apologise to the long suffering fans for a record-breaking defeat, but that he has doubled down on attacking, dividing and patronising them at an extremely sore moment.

You can't ever lower my expectations enough that a 7-0 home tonking by a team in the same league becomes remotely acceptable. Any manager who thinks that falls under the bracket of 'same days, the same results' will always be one who needs to fuck off and pleasure himself with an active chainsaw.
