Did he say five years? He must have said that whilst I was kicking in the tv.

Honorable?! He’s putting curses on us before he’s even left!

Or he really could not give one toss.

That interview was infuriating. Unprofessional to say it doesn’t affect him, and also to say we are in a world where people expect instant results. The players will be aware of his lack of care towards the club.

I always think players tend to look worse when there’s an absolute nob in charge. He’s assembled a disjointed squad with 121 midfielders, 1 fit defender who is on loan and spent a lot of money on two nothing players. What went wrong?

I didn’t say they didn’t try, I just don’t think they are playing for him. They are just doing what they want hoping for a bit of individual brilliance to score a goal. A bit like a Sunday knockabout, no one wants to lose but there’s no leadership. Reminds me of the Kidd mess, or the last days of Hodgson.

Those players aren’t playing for him, no one can tell me otherwise. They are just giving it a leaderless go week in week out.

Thought we’d scored then 😫

Oh he’s sat down again. No urgency on the pitch or bench just like the last match.

Probably playing him up front.

Venus and Mowbray up, it’s as if the medication has worn off and they’ve realised they are actually managing a football club.

This half.

Kinnell! Tony’s stood up!

They all have. They look lost. The tactic employed seems purely of praying someone can come to with a moment of brilliance. Keith Andrews - professional sniffer.

16th on goal difference at the moment.

Don’t know about anyone else but that 45 flew by.

2 minutes in, lucky not to be losing.

Hang on didn't he quote Williams as one of the injured players affecting the team not long ago or did I imagine it?

He doesn’t take pressure very well does he?

It was for Bowyer.

I agree it’s not on the same level as Kean, I was just meaning there’s always a type of person who won’t have anything said bad about anyone behind the scenes at the club. They’ll slate individual players but manager, CEO or chairman get a free pass. It’s like they don’t think a manager is really necessary to achieve results and it’s purely down to the players. They don’t seem to want to acknowledge it’s the manager who brings in the players, picks them and coaches them.

I’m not sure it’s totally unique. I remember people defending Kean on TV at the height of his ineptitude. As I said on another thread I saw a guy trying to initiate a fight in the riverside in front of his wife and young child because one guy shouted Kean out.

Some people think that by criticising the manager you’re not a real fan. I saw it said before the Coventry match. A bloke (from down south somewhere) said whoever doesn’t get behind Tony Mowbray isn’t a real fan along with some name calling, and that comment got a ton of likes and several replies of “well said” and “couldn’t agree more.” These were from local fans. It must be a strange world to live in to have zero opinion on what you’re witnessing.
