Correct - but there will be people coming on here to blame Mowbray for that.

Will they?

Or.....some people will look to deflect attention away from Mowbray's shortcomings and blame everything on the owners.

I’d take Jamal Lowe from Wigan

Mowbray's waiting to hear his budget.

Why is everyone getting all hot under the collar about not having news about the budget?

When they do have it, Mowbray and Waggott either waste it on dross or bring no-one in then complain about the state of the market.

Teams would be climbing all over themselves to get in on that bidding war.

If he goes anywhere it will be via prem or parachute money

If he doesn't know his budget how can he make the early moves in the market that people want ?

Try harder.

The owners paint the landscape - the manager - whoever it is - just has to add the finishing touches.

If he is the Mr BRFC some like to make him out to be he should have been on the blower to Pune daily for the past week.  But he won't will he he'll be a good boy and wait in line to be told what to do whilst protecting his million pound contract.

As for Waggot well he's probably sitting waiting for Tony to tell him what to do, in front of a load of pre arranged contract extensions for the pals if the money comes good.

Any manager wait for his bosses to tell him, otherwise you would be fired.

Nonsense. 

You should engage with colleagues upwards, downwards and horizontally.  All good managers across all walks of life do it.

That's your opinion. You need to understand the way your bosses work and adapt to their way. 

You think Mourinho walk in to Levy demanding his budget, Cos I bet you he doesn't mess with Levy.

The board of directors of MD or CEO are there to do what is in the best interests of the club and team not themselves.

Seeing as we don't really have that it falls to the manager & his sidekick so they should press the issue as the matter of urgency it is. And let the owners know in no uncertain terms that it's holding their club and team back badly if they don't get on with it.

No manager is going to do that to any owner. To think otherwise is quite honestly crazy talk

I think to date anyone who has let the owners "know in no uncertain terms" anything at all has lost their job shortly afterwards so why should anyone now ?

Like Paul Hunt did. We all remember his letter he sent to Mrs D.

Don't be so bloody clueless man the world isn't full of sunshine and rainbows there'll be all sorts of rows go on between managers/chairmen and owners.

It's stupid and ridiculously naive to think otherwise it's all about having the balls to step up to the plate.  Those in little self preservation societies never will.

You've never had to manage upwards because of an incompetent boss? You dont have to be confrontational but theres ways he could put pressure on and nag them to give an answer.

Paul Hunt also aked for a pay rise at the same time let's have the full story if you're going down that road.  The guy was 100% after his pay off he knew questioning Keane and Anderson was the death knell for him but he stepped up and took the bullet.
