At a guess, I'd reckon Cheston was tasked with getting a new manager in and had Warnock lined up before HSH got into either Venkys or Sulhails ear and sold them the Coyle dream, probably by also coming in at a much cheaper cost but pointing to his previous promotion. Venkys then made one of the worst decisions of their time in charge and employed Coyle over Warnock.

I appreciate that Mowbray has had greater resources (which he's wasted) than Cook and it obviously it needs to be taken into account. He might be an improvement on Mowbray but I don't think it would be enough to get us where we need to be.

I see Cooks name being mentioned a lot. Not sure really. He got Wigan promoted from league one, when Mowbray took us up and then only had Wigan 18th the following season, even Mowbray managed to get us to 11th. Last season they were pretty dreadful until they hit that amazing run of form, even then they only managed 15 wins, which was 2 less than Mowbray with us. Even adding the 12 points back on they would have only made it to 59. I doubt he'd be much more of an improvement, if at all.

Normally, when we hit what appears to be rock bottom under Mowbray, he pulls out an unexpected result and we end up going on an undefeated run. I don't think it will happen this time. I think things wil just continue to go south. I still don't think Venkys will sack him, we'll just have to hope he manages to get enough points to see us avoid a relegation battle and then it will be a "fresh start" in the summer. God I hate our owners.

I don't disagree. I was merely trying to point out that no matter how much people want Mowbray out, suggesting the likes of Ian Holloway is a terrible idea.

Mowbray needs to go but let's not get too carried away with just how much. Ian Holloway, for example, has been a busted flush for a good 8/9 years and we shouldn't be going anywhere near him as we will just be calling for his head in 6 months time. Mowbray needs to be replaced but it needs to be with a progressive appointment (on paper at least). Bilic or Pearson, absolutely. Good point on the coaching staff, they all need replacing too.

Don't do it to yourself. He's here for a while yet. 2 more years on his contract? He'll see that out, I have no doubts.

When I first read that tweet, I thought it was Sharpe questioning the soft underbelly. No, no, its the fucking manager! Unbelievable. It's literally your job to sort the soft underbelly, not question it.

Its unbelievably optimistic if anyone still believes we can make the playoffs. Likewise, sadly, its unbelievably optimistic to believe Mowbray will be sacked in the morning. He won't be going anywhere, probably not in the summer either.

He's also managed to find a way of nullifying our best player in Dack with this new set up.

Is that their centre half??

Didn't last anyway

Huddersfield. Hang your heads in shame.

Ayala off with injury. Good move to sub Nyambe off now. Clown.

Buckley is going to struggle here.

Huddersfield won the ball and pushed forward, Holtby, Rothwell and Johnson were casually jogging back to our goal. Disgraceful.

They are pressing us all over the park and we don't seem to be able to handle it.

6th game running we have conceded first. Abysmal.

What kind of defending is that? 5 players around him and no one even fucking jumps.

WTF was that by Lenihan? Did he get stamped on?

Hudds pressing us high up the pitch. Something we were doing at the start of the season but seem to have stopped doing for a while now No idea why, we looked much better when we did.

Ugh, Arma. Thought that was in

Great save by Kaminski. Why did Bell just stand and watch their lad take a shot? Didn't even attempt to close him down!

I'm laughing at this 🤣 And yet crying at the same time 😭

Better to have Gallagher trying to whip balls into Arma and Elliott. Much more effective
