"You could say that, but listen, this club shouldn't find itself in League 1, our aim is to be back in the Premier League and we are working towards that". In an alternate universe the answer is: "No doubt about it, winning the League 1 title. Although we were disappointed to find ourselves there, I thought we played some good stuff that season, and it was great seeing the lads lift the trophy at the end." The difference being, in that universe TM has a winners mentality. For the record, I'm also married to Margot Robbie there, and drive a Lamborghini. It's a magical place!

Yes, I fully agree with that statement. I believe we’ve “maxed out” under his mgmt. I don’t think he can possibly last that long, considering the current state of affairs. We’re averaging a point a game... that’s definitely not enough to promote, and maybe not good enough to stay up. I’m glad the owners don’t have as itchy a trigger finger to can/sack managers as they used to, but a loss tomorrow, and they might find it much easier to do so.

USABlue 1708 Posted Tuesday at 20:45 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:45 Thoroughly cheesed off with recent eventson and iff the field, just checked in to see if he was gone, sadly he is not. Don't know if I even want to watch a mauling tomorrow, it's a friggin mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevidgeBlue 7879 Posted Tuesday at 23:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:11 In the past whenever we've been on long lasing runs we've nevertheless had the knack of only losing narrowly and often grabbing a late consolation goal to falsely make things appear things were closer than they actually were. Wonder if this will be the case tomorrow? I sort of feel like it will be a thumping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And one of those stats was we had the most touches in the opposition penalty area of anyone else in the league.’ Have I woken up in 2012? - ‘Crooke - And I know you're not big on milestones but four years at a football club is a pretty big achievement, is there anything that stands out in your time as manager that you take great pride in? A proud memory or a favourite moment?’ Mowbray - No. How petulant. Supposed professional football manager in his mid 50s. Either he’s on his way out or he really is just going through the motions - whatever it is isn’t good for the club. Not only petulant but like most TM comments it's pretty damning of himself unintentionnally. If I hadnt something to be proud of within 4 years in a role I'd be offering my resignation.

chaddyrovers 6001 Posted Tuesday at 23:33 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:33 I think Mowbray is very close to walking out. Sounds fed up and like he had enough of the job now. Hes tried his best but cant take us to PL despite his best efforts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike E 6341 Posted yesterday at 00:21 Share Posted yesterday at 00:21 Starting to actually hope Tony goes now, ideally that he walks. I'm reminded of the 'good resignation' speech from Malcolm Tucker: It IS possible to have a good resignation, you know! Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they get to the point when they sitting round in pubs and say "Oh, that fucker's got to go!", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone! I didn't expect that! Resigned! You don't see THAT much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the fucking press!" How about that, ah? What a way to go! Yeah!

tomphil 12725 Posted yesterday at 08:51 Share Posted yesterday at 08:51 Most of the regular fans, even his critics, hold him in high esteem for promotion and turning around then stabilizing the club. I know i do, as well as his general conduct over most his time here. It was a refreshing change seeing someone humble, honest and only appearing to be driven by his love of being a manager. He's in grave danger of all that going out the window recently as this season his interviews have gone increasingly bizarre. Now at the point of being an arrogant ignorant self preserver. It isn't the fans or medias fault hard questions now need asking this has been coming a while. Promotion, stability, some good signings and the odd impressive victory have covered over a lot very frustrating stuff. It always catches up in the end but it seems he isn't prepared for it.

I've never read such garbage, well not since last time he banged on about being a performance-related manager. He should be sacked immediately. The man is a menace. Agree wholeheartedly. Someone should have told the Leicester title winning team it doesn't count because of their possession stats or the Dingles they can't be in the Prem because they don't have enough of the ball. He's a deluded muppet. What makes it even more galling is: 1) We have played badly and performed badly for the whole of 2021. The football had been grim. We aren't even meeting his warped criteria for success. 2) When we win and play badly (which tbf is most of our wins against 11 men) it's all about the results and the performance doesn't matter. The Berk contradicts himself repeatedly and if the team played at the speed at which he shifts the goal posts we would be top 6 by now. Get rid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim mk2 8630 Posted yesterday at 10:19 Share Posted yesterday at 10:19 What does "performance related coach" mean? It's a load of gobbledgook to detract from results. If results had been good, but the performances poor, he'd have said he was a "results based coach". Anyway, Tony, if you want to be judged on performances most fans would agree they've been very poor, and that's being kind. Another defeat tonight and please do the decent thing and resign Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or am I just getting cynical that we are no further on then the early years? If it is an I just coach the team plea, it's a load of guff as said coaches don't appoint their bosses or set up scouting networks or buy half the Boro team. Also Jim why wait till another loss.

frosty 996 Posted yesterday at 11:14 Share Posted yesterday at 11:14 Have I missed all these good performances from us that have somehow ended in defeat, à la Brighton? When we lose we usually stink the place out too with our performance. In fact I'd be embarrassed to call myself a performance related coach after what's been served up the last few months.
