It didn't seem that way at the time! Fergy Time, demonisation in the media of refs he didn't like. At least Hughes and Souness didn't do it publicly (as far as I remember). I was only being flippant anyway, anyone who's met him seems to come away with a good opinion of him. He definitely did everything he could to advantage his club. I have often thought we could have done with a bit more of that over the years.

Its worth a thought till you see them on the pitch.

Its a results game and he's in danger because we are not winning. Ever thus. The owners are responsible for the debt, the manager for the points.

Football is a simple game and the bottom line is---if you can't score and you can't defend you will be relegated.

He used to bully the refs!!!

Where's the clamour for Johnson to succeed? My post above simply refers to the likelihood of Venkys appointing him. We all accept there is a risk. However there's no risk about Mowbray---relegation struggle for sure.

He's made a career here out of touting the fantastic camaraderie he's created in the dressing room. Now it looks like that's gone to shit as well. Is there anything left?

It'll be Johnno.

"quality passing side" LOL!!!

Not while he's here i'm afraid. it will take another manager to let them off the leash. We are going nowhere with this bloke.

Eh? If you're blaming the scouting then its strange that it should be so bad!

Looks like Mowbray has decided that if it works---change it!

He'll be included when he shouldn't be because he cost £7M! Embarassing for the club. One of the strangest transfers in our history but let's give him time eh? Just like Mowbray!

But surely the solution is not just "drop Graham"?!!! I can't believe TM can't see farther than that. I don't suppose Graham would be at all annoyed if he got the ball on the floor for a change! I reckon the dressing room atmosphere which TM sets such stall by is non-existent now.

Its had a detrimental effect on Dack too.

Love that central four. TM dare not play it though, having assessed the the problems posed by the other team.

That's a very significant criticism. I am dreading the rest of the season personally.

Was asked who I wanted and Hughes was it. I know he's not coming back and I'm on the record as expecting Johnno to be TM's successor.

You are making excuses. Of course every season is different, you can't simply start every season with a clean slate. Every manager has history but I see this manager repeating his history and making the same mistakes. You say "give him a dozen games". Venkys surely will but will you come up with new excuses at the end of it?

Hughes but I realise I'm unlikely to ever see that.

17 points from 19 games.....

The only consistent feature of my entire life!!!

Very odd what's happening with Chapman. Heralded as a great signing at the time and never seen seen since.

The tooth fairy maybe....

A deliberate plan to build confidence in the players I was told on here!
