    It's been rumoured in the past that they were interested in us.

    Last night was one of the biggest games weve had in years, what a huge kick in the balls that is for Mogga trying to get his team motivated for Wembley.
    He has a good affinity with the players, im sure quite a few of them will be abit pished off aswell seeing how the club are treating Tony.

    Think that was from the Birmingham away game mate

    Still a sign that we are not prepared to sit still but are constantly appraising our options and establishing good contacts

    I could be wrong mate but I think that photo of them together is from the Birmingham game back in November.

    None of this makes any sense to me however like has been mentioned we don't know whats been going on behind the scenes.

    Mowbray seems a great fit, the football we have been playing is brilliant and the whole squad appears to like him.

    Very odd.

    Weve finally found a good experienced manager after all these years thats commited to the club. Why would we throw away a chance of some much needed sustainability, and throw all of that away and risk bringing in yet another manager with no experience ?

    Yeah it doesn't sit right but we know how rigid the club is with their vision, could have been the plan all along no matter what the outcome this season as long as we remained in the league.

    Christ knows!

    I don't think that A.M. is 'fighting for his job' in any way, and none of this will be 'behind his back' :emoticon-0145-shake

    We don't know what the plans are, we are only speculating (and panicking somewhat) but Tony will.

    He'll be well aware of, and probably a part of, current and future plans . . . . Kyril will have asked for his advice and he'll be fully supportive of S.A.F.C.s ambition :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Lots of rumours as always. I take them all with a pinch of salt and wait for facts to emerge.

    plot twist!

    Reading between the lines this could all help add up to the fact that this is all simply
    Mowbrays agent wanting a contract extension.

    if I was Mowbrays agent I’d want to strike quickly whilst fans love Mowbray. Get them furious at the idea of removing him. And leak stories of him having other options to enhance that.

    Could suit both parties tbh. Same with what happened to Alex Neil, I'm sure the club weren't that bothered he wanted to go.
