    His tweet today is even worse. Pretty much attacking Speakman for doing his job. Also seen a lot of Boro fans questioning the sacking but I guarantee very few of them would take him back over Carrick.

    Aye. Said last week I was bored ****less of Mowbray. Knew this sort of stuff would come from his ‘mates’. Mowbray is clearly the source <laugh> of course they wouldn’t take him back, as they probably want promotion…

    Surely bernie knew fine well Mogga was being criticised by the players for limited boring repetitive training and not picking the team (as I've read on here ...)

    Some on here know how it all started, i mean going tits up.
    And it started 2 weeks ago. We all knew TM was not their 1st choice, but he got us playing fantastic football.
    He got pissed off with an individual and a player he was forced to play players that were not fit for purpose.
    Most of that is a fact, some I was told by a guy who is close to the club.
    It will all come out sooner or later some at the club might not like that.

    He got pissed off with a player and a club official?

    Who forced him to play players not fit for purpose?

    Just curious

    Considering burstow was supposed to be the first one to complain I reckon he's the player

    i love how last season it was all how good mowbray was has doing nothing about getting told who to play and nothing about speakman but now we've hit a bad run hes suddenly getting told who to play, none of this would be getting said if we were winning

    So Burstow kicked it off and someone higher up made him play players.

    Rumours.like this grow arms and legs and don't help the team (imo)

    If its true then we are going to struggle, if its not it just creates bad feeling (again imo)

    It won't be true or TM would have walked. He doesn't need the money or the hassle. It's just another way to try having a dig at the club.

    My opinion is that Mowbray, over the last 2 windows was given far too many not fit for purpose might be good in the future players and not given much for now all the while being expected to reach the playoffs.

    I also believe the 4 strikers purchased was a complete joke. In various ways none were fit for purpose for this season either.

    Dont get me wrong, once he started getting frustrated and that spilled out of him in interviews etc he simply had to go. But I 100% feel his frustration as I completely agree we are starting to go down the wrong path on recruitment.

    And I'll explain that a bit more. The English based Ballard, Alese, Higgins, Cirkin, Huggins, Ekwah etc are all players that have improved the team. I think that side of the recruitment has been brilliant.

    Theres not one foreign equivalent thats genuinely cemented a first 11 place. From Hoffman to Semendo. Many of them are far too young.

    Yet they are accelerating the foreign policy and seemingly paused the English based U21 signings. I'm bemused.

    I think the club are starting to go in the wrong direction. So I completely agree with Mowbray.
