We probably spent more on Downing Trybull Pears Douglas and we need none of them....Mowbray is a knob and taking our club down if this type of shit carries on.

Here we go again! Moderators, on your stations. 

Its relevant and highlights Mowbrays failing to prioritize his budget properly.  Bringing in his mates instead.  Sad.

In a good mood this afternoon then! Trybull costing us something like £2k p/w. Pears on low wages too and came at a fairly small fee. Douglas loan I don't know. Can definitely safely say that those three don't equate to £4m from the budget however.

I will be if we win Joe.  Just want the best for my club and I just don't think good old Tony does.

Tony doesn't want us to succeed? Come off it. Can't even begin to entertain a debate on that.

That's what I think, he's taking the piss.  

A defender by trade has ignored his defence for 3 years.....

Ya, there is a line with the criticism and sometimes people go a wee bit too far down that road.

But that he doesn't want us to win games? Doesn't make sense. Lack of ability is one thing, actively trying to sabotage us a very different situation.

I believe mid table championship is just fine with him.  He shows no passion , never speaks of going up and his actions show me he doesn't want to go up.

It's a little more subtle than sabotage

He's always going on about top 6 - every summer without fail.

Only pushing top 6

I won't be watching the game; Stoke are abysmal but will probably sneak a goal and we'll spend the whole game huffing and puffing. 

No real excuses from this point onwards as we've got our best players back, a new central defensive addition, and a lighter schedule.

tony`s  got no intention of even trying to get promoted,look at the players he`s assembled,most of them are shrinking violets who`d run away in a pub fight,having a crack at promotion means getting hungrier players which means more work on the management side and training ground,he`s happy keeping us in the division

[Silas]

If we don't win this game I'm moving up a level to the Mowbray out, out camp.

A promotion to the PL on his CV would be worth millions to him in future contracts. Of course he would want to be promoted. 

Does he have the ability to do so is where the question marks are 

[simongarnerisgod]

i doubt tony is to bothered about money,he`ll be financially secure no doubt,like iv`e said,he does`nt want to put the extra work in to get us promoted,in fact no one at the club does imo,most of the players,backroom staff and everyone else behind the scenes are far to content with picking up their wages

[WacoRover]

Tony doesn’t care... owners don’t care... board doesn’t care... players don’t care. Etc.

If I believed like most of you, I’d walk away from the club, and never look back. Just go be a Liverpool or ManU fan.

And who was our only representative at the 82 World Cup....

Tony get promoted he will be out within 6 months with no extra wages,  Bilaji will appoint AKON as manager with Snoop as assistant.   Most of the playing staff will be gone...

You doubt he is bothered about money? That's an interesting claim. He would be in the minority of people so. I don't think he would be financially secure for very long if he was sacked from here. A promotion to the PL would probably triple his salary? At least double it anyway. Then his next contact wherever that would be would be around the same again. It would be worth millions to him. I would reckon it could be worth up to 5 million to him over the rest of his career. 

Again, I'm not sure it's a "lack of work". I'd say he spends a lot of time working. It's more down to ability. Pretty straightforward really.

Ha ,but can Akon organise a defence? 

Mowbray would get a pay rise here and he would get better contacts elsewhere for god knows how long. Look at Colye and even Mowbray himself. 1 promotion to the PL can go a long way on a CV.

I have literally no idea what you are on about. Do you? Sparks said he doesn't want to get promoted, I pointed out why it would be beneficial to him. What does does that have to do with him organising a defence? Ya know what, don't even bother answering,cos I'm pretty sure it won't make sense.
