Popular Post Stuart Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 3 hours ago, matt83 said: The only way Mowbray will leave is if some sort of professional pride kicks in and he accepts that as a manager he is unable to get us any higher than 8th-14th. Will he. Of course not. He’s either 1 deluded enough to think he can get us higher. Or 2 he knows he can’t but is happy just collecting the easiest money in football. Imagine stumbling on owners who are: - Rich heirs to a money-making business - Easily fooled - Listen to poor advice over and over - Don’t understand football - Don’t bring in credible football experts to run the club on their behalf (in fact despatched with the ones the already had due to poor advice) - Accept mediocrity as long as you are a nice person and have good excuses - Appoint your recommendation for your own boss - Remain completely absent from the club and even the country - Cover the financial losses that this approach yields every season - Put no pressure on you to get results Who would walk away from all of that...?

Disgusting - what kind of loser does something like that? I’m sure someone posted Tyrhys Dolan on the Covid thread on the other side of the forum last night, completely out of the blue referring to chaddy, the mods have removed it, hopefully they know who the culprit is. Some spineless faceless bedroom dwelling no mark no doubt. As for Mowbray, the good news is we’ve time to sort out the defence, still very early days. The bad news is, he’s been trying for 3yrs!

And, IMO, round and round in circles we go on a feckin journey to nowhere other than to Mowbray's pension pot. He's been here almost four years now and I think enough is a feckin enough. I had to reply to this because, sadly, I believe it is absolutely spot on. Yes we will win a few this season, we will be good on the eye going forward and will wax lyrical about Rothwell's dynamism, Dolan's feet, Brereton's potential or how brilliant Mowbray was at bringing Elliott in, but ultimately we will end up like last season, and the season before that. Mowbray is a very nice man and his heart is in the right place. He has finally assembled a really good squad of players but none of that counts for anything if we keep losing. And we will keep losing because we are defensively shambolic. This fear of replacing him has to stop. Already this season we have faced teams whose manager has shown far more nous and savvy than Mowbray. Sentimentality and fear will yield failure again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tyrone Shoelaces Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 He should have been history years ago. He's got no idea of how to get out of this division. You don't need to be a mini Liverpool, you need to be well organised with a coherent, settled way of playing. It doesn't need to be too sophisticated at this level, everybody in the squad needs to know exactly what's required of them and be able to fulfil that role. Under Mowbray we've never looked like a team were every element of the team is fit for purpose. And that's when we were playing well. How long has Readings manager been in the job ? Yet he's already constructed a team that will be there or there abouts at the end of the season. Just tired of this " Ground Hog Day " of a club where no matter how many changes we make nothing actually changes. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decade in football is a lifetime and the elements he had then are way different to now, as is the difference between elite quality in Philips and bog standard in Armo.

Could be a Rovers fan who's done it for all we know. I haven't seen any of it other than his avatar on here. So presumably this site is being attacked? I can't imagine Chaddy chose it.

Means feck all now any of that pal, sorry. Yes I agree tomphil, I was just making the point he has taken a team out of this division. I said at the back end of last season that he should get 10 games to see if he change things, in my opinion he's certainly done that. The biggest criticism of Mowbray on here was he never goes for the win, well thats not the case this season so far! He was also criticized for not bringing in any decent defenders, he's hopefully addresses that issue to. Its still very early in the season, we look a good side going forward, if he fixes the backline we could do something this season and I never thought I'd be saying that at the back end of last season. Keep the faith. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the faith. Agree with much of it most of my moaning has been because of the timid Bowyeresqe nature of this managers approach too often. Said many times all i wanted to see was us genuinely having a go over the season i feel he's on the right track in that regard. I'd much rather this approach than drawing every week and hear a manager jacking off on the old unbeaten run line. It'll have its ups and downs like we are seeing, elated one min tearing your hair out next but to me that's what football is about. Mundane crap can be shoved where the sun doesn't shine ! Problem with TM is he's never ever shown himself to be someone who can find balance, any balance never mind the the right one. It's wearing thin now he's had god knows how many windows and enough backing to see us looking to break upwards from the middle pack. His repeated blind spots and stubborness in regards to certain players will be the undoing again imo but we'll see. He's been good at proving us wrong when we've thought all is lost but just not good enough in proving he's the man for the ultimate goal.

Kie_BRFC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I also think that if it was as simple as having a slow build then every club in the country would do it, rather than firing their manager and trying to appoint better. Having said that I think the frustration comes because we can all see how close we get, but we're constantly undone by either individual errors or tinkering. But the fact these individual errors have been happening since Tony took charge it's hard to not point the finger. The league this year is much weaker than previous seasons, and with the games coming so thick and fast any team that can stay injury free and show any semblance of consistency will get out of this league. Just can't see us being that team as we can't seem to do either of those things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who posts on here from time to time managed to alter one of my posts to totally change the meaning of what I intended to say. You've got to be a complete tosser to do stuff like that.

Angry_Pirate Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Fucking hell Tony: "Joe Rothwell, he turned up today and his back was really sore. Whether he’s been isolating for those 10 days and has just been laying on a sofa, I’m not sure" Is this the sort of manager we want... not for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's been working and left his desk top / laptop open, work colleagues are notorious for pranks. Sounds like some of the stuff is a bit more than a prank though - sadly, there are folk like that around. Didn't Chaddy recently say he works some night shifts?
