Just indefensible really, what a clown @K-Hod "I never see anyone insult Mowbray or call him names on here" You have said that line a good few times now. So just showing you one for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller11 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Can we stop pretending that we have benevolent and competent owners, and that if it wasn’t for Tony Mowbray we’d be signing a whole host of brilliant footballers. Problems in transfer activity go well beyond the manager. If that wasn’t the case he’d be out of a job. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - no I wouldn't want me doing it either ! On a more serious note if it is correct that football people are expected to be involved in these negotiations it is just a further pointer to the absurd way the club is set up by the owners. I don't think Mowbray or any other football manager should be criticised if they are lacking at something that would not normally be associated with a manager's skillset.

Gallagher has been AT BEST a mixed bag either up front, or on the wing. We've spent £5m on a non-scoring striker who can't play as a winger. Bonkers. 3 hours ago, Bigdoggsteel said: Name 1 3 hours ago, Amo said: Benrahma. Cost Brentford £1.5m 3 hours ago, Bigdoggsteel said: Easy in hindsight. I meant name one we could sign now "Name one" to "name one we could sign now" is changing the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Mowbray or any other football manager should be criticised if they are lacking at something that would not normally be associated with a manager's skillset. Mowbrays point is being taken out of context (as usual). He’s basically saying that he doesn’t get involved in all the bollocks of going back and forth. He keeps it simple and honest and talks about football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeRover Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Mowbray can be a good manager whilst being an awful negotiator. I can't think of many other clubs where the manager has a role in negotiating transfers but then with Venkys we arent the typical club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He been on the bench nearly as much as he has started this season and until Tuesday had no goals and no assists this season. I'm a fan of Rothwell and think he has been very underused during his time here but he is not worth £3 Million+ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea top half league one, although Barnsley might consider, mulgrew wants to finish abroad, I can see him moving outwith the window. Don’t see him playing much more minutes for us if any 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
