He seemed pretty certain about his future last week for someone who's allegedly had no communication whatsoever. Also how did he know Park was leaving as well if the matter has never been discussed?

How did we know that was going to happen................ Also get your tame journo at the LT to randomly name drop Woodgate's name into the mix and all of a sudden good old Tone looks a lot more attractive. Like I said the other day, I wanted to know what the odds for the devious old bastard Mowbray were.

Not really, it's quite spiteful and unnecessary on Stelling's part.

I like Stelling but he's hardly any room to talk based on that clip with his shirt open to the navel. All he's missing is the blingy medallion that looks like a bar of chocolate. Not sure why he's laying into Ainsworth for no reason based solely on his appearance - perhaps he isn't represented by the right agency. I actually like Ainsworth's appearance -part of his appeal - a refreshing change from conforming to the boring norm these days but at the end of the day we need a manager that can win Championship football matches not just Ozzy or Bruce Dickinson from 35 years ago. That should be the only consideration.

Not even in jest. Please. If Mowbray gets a job as DOF, does that magically transport the Club nearer to his home and stop him moaning about being too far away from his family?

The only straw I'm going to cling to for the time being is that Sharpe saying "he's likely to be in the conversation" is hardly conclusive. Ironically the only person I'd rather have the job any less is the present incumbent!! BoroRejectsRUS

Another strong Middlesbrough connection. I don't suppose we need to ask who he is represented by do we? Has even less on his managerial CV to commend him than Mowbray had at the time.

Unless they'd had some sort of prior understanding that Mowbray's future would be discussed at the end of the season. Don't forget in January the expectation would have been that we would have been in the play offs minimum and they extend well beyond the end of the regular season. Far be it from me to defend Waggott who probably can't lie straight in bed but if they wanted him gone I can't see why the Club haven't just put out the standard "Thanks for your service statement". after Mowbray beat them to the punch. Regardless of whether Waggott is sulking in a corner somewhere and whether or not they'd communicated their decision to him is irrelevant. Mowbray has in that case taken the decision out of their hands by indicating he's leaving and has saved them a job.

Still going strong as well. 92. Mowbray will probably be about that age when he leaves.

Before we get too giddy with statements about how we'd rather keep Mowbray than have X Y or Z etc let's just remind ourselves of the last 19 (or half a season's League results). L W D L L D L W L D L W L D D L L W L Seventeen points from nineteen games or the equivalent of 34 points over a full season. And all that from a team that had previously had enough raw ability to get into 2nd.

Surely more to do with the second half of the season collapse than the price - although that doesn't help. If hypothetically we'd beaten Bournemouth to clinch automatic promotion you'd imagine it'd be rammed out.

A selfie with Waggott........ Lol. Chaddy would probably pay - unless Steve then told him they were on the point of appointing Dyche.

I'm still waiting, but unfortunately Mowbray, Waggott, Cheston, Venus, Lowe Park and Benson haven't floated by just yet.........

Weird situation. That would tend to suggest either that they hadnt actually made a final decision on Mowbray's future and the devious old bastard caught them on the hop with his comments and they don't know what to do now, or that Waggott is going as well against his will and is sulking in a huff somewhere. The latter still wouldn't preclude the Club from putting out the usual generic statement thanking him/them for their service though. Did Miller say it was the end of season awards (Ha!) tonight? I hope anyone unfortunate enough to have forked out on a ticket for same does not let Waggott off the hook.

Not making it up. If you were to check back you'll notice I posted accordingly at the time.

Yet after four abysmal seasons under Mowbray you still claim to want to persist with him.

And Mowbray isn't even fit to lace Mackay's shoelaces.

I did hear positive whispers on that front immediately after he left Burnley but nothing since. Completely agree though we shouldn't really be looking beyond Farke or Dyche if the owners are really serious about changing things.

Heaven forbid. I've been of the view all season he'd be leaving at the end of his contract but given the circumstances of Mowbray's comments before the Bournemouth game, the longer we have radio silence from the Club the more worried I am that the first utterance from them on the subject will be Waggott saying it's all been a bit of a misunderstanding and they're still hopeful of persuading Tony to extend his stay. The champagne I put on ice in anticipation of official word on his departure is going rather warm.

That's what petrifies me. Is there a price for Mowbray on any of the lists?

Oooo.......Source war.

Absolutely. The next bad appointment could be the last one.

As you would say "sources"? Are you basing those names on any specific information or are you just plucking random names out of thin air off the betting lists? Edit: See you've replied to Miller. I wouldn't put too much store on what Nixon says.

Click bait. If you put enough of it out, some of it is bound to come to fruition.

Yep, well, if the next appointment bombs you'll be able to have your moment in the sun and tell us all (and me in particular) "I told you so".
