Flippin eck! Not knowing much about him other than what's been said in here... I've Just been watching a few clips and interviews of Gareth Ainsworth And my first thought was... Really 😬😬! I mean I'll take peoples words for it on here if they say he's actually better than he appears. But really😬 He just doesn't look or come across as a championship and above level character or manager and hearing him talk about tactics etc.. He sounds very amature, almost semi-pro! as for his "look" bloody hell, looks like a retired porn actor from the early 00s Hope I'm wrong on all acounts though if he does get the job.

I'd take Robert Wagner now. I'm sure he managed a few disaster films in tge 70s.

Flippin eck zoom in on the photo in that article they nearly all look miserable af, poor buggers it was a bit cold and wet that morning

Seems bizare that his scummy ness didn't catch up to him until the ens of his career!

Was a very versatile player to have in your team on champ manager at the time 🙂🙃

Oh eck! Got through the final eps of Osark last night, was initially a bit disappointed but in hindsight i think it ended the only way it could have... And stayed true to itself! In general though the final run of episodes was very depressing and tense to sit through and this final season has been a bit of a let down compared to earlier seasons. One major gripe for me has been how many new characters where introduced and went on to play major roles in the final season... It just felt a bit late in the game for me to have to get used to new characters when you know the show is ending (if that makes sense🤷‍♂️) Just my personal view, hope that's not spoilt anything, it's still definitely a "must watch"

Yes I'm suprised Nuno Espiririto and also Bielsa's names haven't been mentioned yet There's currently a handful of good options available, but managers of the calibre 9f these kinds don't come cheap and they expect concrete assurances of having transfer money to spend etc..

Nice gesture and a very peaceful good natured event, anything that helps bring the community together in a positive way is a good thing

according to wiki he only took over there in January right before the invasion, he didn't even get to manage 1 game before leaving!

Suprised there's not been a mention of Bielsa yet!? (unless I've missed something) Personally I could never get my head around having a manager that doesn't speak English and communication at our club is already laughably poor 😅

With the work he's done behind the scenes at City the last 10 years i definitely think he'd deserve to be considered at least. There was talk of Newcastle considering him for a dof role just after the takeover, so he must be well regarded within the game

Exactly 😂 and until a new manager has signed they wouldn't even know which members of the current staff he'd want to keep or not. Sadly it's more like rats leaving a sinking ship at the minute, not that any of them are irreplaceable, most just seem like jobsworths and dollopers anyway.

I think equally as important to which manager comes in is which assistants and 1st team coaches join him, because our current bunch just seem like mediocre yes men. If we want to progress we need a higher calibre of coaching and management right through the first team.

people actually pay money to hear gossip from that goon!

Why? Just because he's Black! he wouldn't be my first choice, but he is a manager that I think has good potential and just needs to find a club that suits him

gets overlooked that Mowbray spent probably over a million on TWO poor looking left backs this season, yet so many are saying he wasn't given any money to spend! Personally think it has been more of a case that whoever controls the purse strings lost confidence in Mowbray spending well Also how much did it cost to get Ayala to sign for us and keep our subs bench and the doctor/physios table warm the last 2 years! plus all theses loan signings from prem clubs will have cost at least few mill in total the last couple of seasons(with nothing really to show in return!!)

Hiring someone of Farkes calibre this week could maybe help sway a couple of our better soon to be out-of-contract players to stick around

Might have been my imagination... But sounded like large choruses of "tony give us a wave" and "Tony Mowbrays blue & white Army" Sound gets a bit muddled in the wind where i am but sounded very much like that to me

Not at the game, but working outside close by! Am I really hearing what I think I'm hearing from the home fans 🤢🤯 (hope I'm mistaken)

I know his managerial stats dont look good in recent years, but.... I get the feeling that at the right club Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink could still have the potential to become a very good manager (though Admittedly i do let my sentimentality of being a big fan of him as a player sway me a little😄) I also think if you read some of his interviews he does sound like the type of manager the venks seem to like, with his emphasis being on playing 'attractive attacking' football and bringing youngsters through

Has Wilcox not shown any interest in getting into first team management? Or maybe even suited more to directororial role in place of Maggot🤷‍♂️ And no I'm not simply saying that JUST because of the rovers link! His work behind the scenes at Man city over the last 10 years shows how more than capable he can

Neither would be an improvement in my opinion, both like mowbray, past their best(if warburton has even had a 'best' as a manager!) pretty lame and completely uninspiring, but that said I still want him gone.

Talking bollox right to the end(hopefully🤞) lots of contradictions and the usual Mowbray arrogance in there. He's just lucky that he's at this club, anywhere else and hed have been sacked at least 5 times by now.

Yes but sure there was something involving weller at one point as well, no charges brought or anything that i remember and seemed to get brushed off, but there was definitely something at one point im sure 🤔
