His misdemeanours were more than "alleged" - he pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment of an ex-girlfriend. I would agree with you that that should not count against him in assessing his contribution as a player - which was outstanding.

He was no good as a manager but was never a "shyster".

Per Wikipedia he's 24.

He won the case - and deserved to because the club had blatantly reneged on a contractual obligation.

On his record he deserves to.

Why would they sack him ? It wasn't his fault.

I can't really see the sort of people who are expected to put up the money to finance a club settling for 49% of the club. They are going to want to have control. That would obviously be true of the sort of people whose money has built Chelsea and Manchester City into football powerhouses but also would have been true of Jack Walker.

I'm happy with the progress we've made.

In their sixth season in the division. Will they bottle the playoffs ?

They've bottled it at the weekend and again tonight - so that is twice. Mowbray would be crucified for that.

Come on. If Mowbray had done what Brentford have done in the last two games, people would be screaming.

We are not as good as bottling it as Brentford.

looks like Brentford are chokers.

More points and a higher league position so clear signs of progress. looking forward to next season.

To be fair every club - even the biggest - will give games to players who ultimately are not good enough to make it at the appropriate level. I see former Man U player Cameron Borthwick-Johnson is today signing for Oldham.

Wigan FC were happy for him to do so.

Correct - he's one of those players who falls in to the category of being good enough to get a club promoted to the PL - but not good enough to keep you there. Think Cairney is the same.

I think Hanley played for us prior to Venkys.

Exactly.

Apparently their claim is based on "force majeure" - broadly some set of events so extraordinary that no-one could have anticipated. Problem is Covid 19 has not brought anybody else down.

Mowbray has got more out of Bradley Dack than anyone else has ever managed. Which manager has ever got much out of Chapman ?

Hope you realise the southern softies still have a shout at automatic promotion - they will be fired up as well.

But if they don't pick up the phone................. ?

And got nobody anywhere.

The best managers don't have a "style" - they work on the basis of what suits the individual best. Some people need kicking - some need cuddling..
