Its not defending him to find such a stupid statement to be laughable. For some reason, Mowbray's budget is based on the losses in the accounts, yet previous managers have had buttons whereby the wages presumably arent factored in.

"Pound for pound Mowbray is the worst manager we've ever had in my 50 and a bit years of watching the Club for me." Definitely up there with the most laughable posts ever seen on here.

He's shit. End of.

Absolutely embarassing, I haven't got a clue how Mowbray managed to get this bunch of no-hopers into 2nd in the first place, albeit he is accelerating that fall as quickly as anyone. Need a change next season and a revamp which wont come. @chaddyrovers Gallagher is a waste of space no matter where he plays. Free shot central of goal, couldn't have hit it any weaker. Can't hold it up, win flick ons, bring others into play, the man is absolute shit and needs to find a new job. Giles is pitiful, every cross hitting the first man. We could have tricked someone into buying Rothwell, but Venkys are wankers. Buckley has been shit again too. Remember in the summer when the Analytics people were saying how great Pickering is going forward with his progressive runs etc, that turned out to be a load of bollocks. Rankin Costello is a liability too.

Gallagher is probably better in an office or something. Striker, winger, wide forward, he's just not a footballer.

Mowbray has been able to invest 80-90m apparently.

3 x 5 nil wins in a row at a World Cup. Bound to happen.

Ignoring this agenda driven drivel that implies that when we do well, its nothing to do with the manager. We have probably had slightly more possession statistically in recent weeks, Mowbray said as much that teams had started to play differently against us to prevent us hitting them on the counter attack. But its nothing like last season when we had a gameplan to try and dominate games via possession, playing it across the back, side to side, wearing teams down. We are not trying to do that again.

"Arrogant attitude about his own tactical prowess" in relation to him apparently going back to possession football, again a load of shite. I have certainly not seen a switch to a possession based game. We still usually have less of the ball, even with teams figuring us out and trying to give us the ball to reduce our threat in transition. Lets stick to tactical things that actually have happened.

You like many are going through every interview with a fine toothcomb to look for any sentence that in your mind strengthens this view that hes simply trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes.

The same owners that have prevented us from moving forward in 11 years will still be here in the summer. Obsession with picking apart the managers pre match interviews are still a pathetic load of bollocks. I heard his interview on the official site, he was on about the players finishing the season and making it one to remember for the rest of their lifes. He was also discussing how we could get the necessary points to achieve that. Does that fit the narrative that he is fed up beyond caring? Maybe not.

There is no justification for owners removing the autonomy of the manager on transfers. End of. Especially when you try and justify it by ignoring the successful transfers overseen and assume that only poor ones would come in.

We cant change anything, the manager, the tactics, the subs, the transfers, nothing. What sort of backwards logic is it that we cant change it therefore we should accept it and never mention it? Why have the messageboard at all? It will keep holding us back and as long as it does ill keep moaning about it as will many others.

Khadra is not fit.

Venkys are never in a rush. They dont give a shit. In the summer when I moan that other teams are gaining an advantage on us as we wait for Venkys to allow whoever to fly over and have a few hours of their precious time, you will overpower everyone on here saying how "thats just how they work" as if that token line in anyway justifies that way or indeed makes its seem reasonable. Same every summer.

Mowbray said yes to the first 2, Deyo is a no, Brereton not back until tonight, maybe on the bench.

Why would they hand out token caps if they didnt think a player was capable? The issue with international football, he can make himself unavailable if he doesnt like it.

Why does every share allotment make Mowbray a very lucky man? Makes no sense. That wont ever be seen by him, its merely Venkys raising funds to cover expenses outweighing income, moreso than need be due to themselves, but something that most/all Championship clubs need to do.

No Gallagher under any circumstances in the 11. If Brereton has to be on the bench, play Dack off Gallagher, with Giles left and Hedges right.

Brereton flying to Chile and only being able to return today means that he wont start on Saturday. He in theory could have started with 2 weeks in England. Thank there are no more Chile games this season, that will likely affect us ever and the whole circus will hopefully ideal away with them out of of the World Cup qualifiers.

Where did assumption ever come from that the main thing stopping Venkys from spending is more is FFP? Do people think they otherwise would? Utter nonsense.

Said in the LT yesterday. There is a chance fot Van Hecke and Lenihan is a potential for Blackpool.

Has recruitment been awful in the last 2 seasons? Kaminski has been a good signing, Pickering, Dolan, Van Hecke, Elliott, Khadra too.

Credit others when we win and criticise Mowbray when we lose.

Your wreckless driving analogy is not comparable in any way shape or form. Both tactical decisions I like everyone else found them to be illogical. But we won the Derby game yet due credit is not given for that whereas he would be rightfully criticised if we had lost. There were attempts to replace Armstrong, just failed ones hindered by a minimal budget. He tried to get Obafemi in a swap but he didnt want to come, and he also tried to get Maja on loan but he failed a medical.
