Well at least I can agree on the second sentence. As for the first the problem would come if we kicked off next season in the Championship.

Ever heard of FFP ?

I'm pleased to hear you don't think like that. We shouldn't allow the disagreements about Tony Mowbray's future to extend to a lack of sympathy for a young man who appears to be going through some kind of personal nightmare

Come on ; why do you think is he overpaid and not working hard. It looks like his transfer at the price paid has been a terrible mistake but the tears show that he does care.

We are talking about mental health. I have never had a problem with this and I hope you haven't either but I hope those of us who have been fortunate can just try to be a little bit more understanding with men who cry

Yes all those grown men who commit suicide should just have a cold shower and man up

Who do you think would come here who is better ? My view is no one and the likelihood is it would be someone worse. I assure you I do not post on here to wind people up. I'm posting a minority view but as we live in the UK and not North Korea that is still allowed.

He didn't come and won't be coming now so this is irrelevant - although I completely agree with you that he would have been the best since Sam

Ooh - get you, Mr Witty. He's average at our level; people like you just demand he is fired without addressing all the available evidence that no one any better would want to come here, even if the owners could identify them

By definition the facts are in the past but if you live your life ignoring them then that is up to you

On a day when football is bringing attention to those with mental health issues this is a particularly ill judged post

It's true

You want Mowbray fired as an act of revenge or some kind of punishment beating. If FFP is kicking in to hurt us the likes of Chris Hughton are not going to be interested in joining and it doesn't matter who was responsible - if indeed it was Mowbray. Meanwhile the likes of Peter Reid and Iain Dowie get appointed........

Of those 3 Coyle and Mowbray were not exactly in demand. Lambert made sure he had a release clause in his contract if working for Venkys really was as bad as he was told - it was and he walked

Sadly when these owners roll the dice they roll a pair of ones, not a pair of sixes

We need to be playing AFC Wimbledon for it to be a shorter commute for me ! More seriously, FFP is real and clobbered Birmingham last season and may get Sheffield Wednesday this season. As a general point the EFL are under pressure from some clubs, notably Middlesbrough, to come down harder re FFP and these cunning stunts of yours may not be there anymore

Irrelevant. You deal with the situation you have, not the one you want

I think Mowbray is average at Championship level, as were Bowyer and Lambert. Unfortunately in the 7 managerial appointments made by Venkys in the last 9 years that has been as good as it gets because the other 4 were a lot worse. In forming a view as to what they are likely to do then if Mowbray went, in the words of Nye Bevan, "why look in the crystal ball when you can read the book " ? Add to that the other points : 1. Anyone who is any good is likely to have a choice as to where they work. 2. The owners are toxic. Their track record includes an unsuccessful attempt to renege on a commitment in the employment contract of a previous manager and one of the most distinguished players in the club's history in Henning Berg. Who wants to work for them ? 3. FFP rules may severely restrict the club's transfer dealings in the next few windows. Who wants to be the manager of that ?

How much does that cost ? What are the FFP implications ? Which managers are the geniuses who own the club going to identify as the next manager ? Would that person want to work for people who were sued because they attempted to renege on a commitment in the employment contract of one of their appointments ? Would that person want to work within the FFP constraints /

Yes , and along with Bowyer and Lambert he is one of the 3 managers who have returned an average performance. The other 4 they appointed on the other hand........... I don't believe they will do any better and with what FFP may mean for us I think no one who is any good would take the job anyway

And yet Buckley is frequently described as the best young player at the club and prior to his most recent contract people were criticising the club for not giving him a new contract ! The same people are now demanding that the manager bring in the other young players in to the team

So you want the crowd sacked as well ?

I do , which is why I don't want the clowns who sacked Sam Allardyce to replace him with Steve Kean being set loose once again. On the other hand if that's ok with you...........

Believing in high standards discredits nobody

Yes he will - the problem is that so will anyone else who isn't desperate
