    He will still be involved with the player development stuff, need more than 1 coach doing the training

    Arguing against what's happening is risk free compared to stating what people believe is a better option ......

    ... water, like piss, always takes the easiest course.

    Did he though? He had his favourites and picked his team based on that. These players weren’t Mowbrays and the only players signed under him he’s frozen out with every excuse in the book. Personally I thought it was a bit embarrassing the whole “uncle tone” crack and the eating of sweets all the time.

    Why sack Mowbray then??? Theres none available we were struggling but sacking him for a lesser manager just because theres no better available is an amateurish way to run a club imo

    Presumably back doing what he was doing before. We've lost out head coach (Mowbray) and assistant head coach (Venus). We've promoted from within to temp fill the head coach role with Dodds so we are 2 positions short atm. The new bloke will bring in an assistant imo and then we will be back to normal in terms of numbers.

    I think we all know why Mowbray was sacked.

    If you're not sure, read his post-match comments after the Millwall game

    Mowbray spent the majority of his time with us with no Stewart, no Cirkin the sicknote hardlys and zero CBs going into May last season. He did not deserve to be sacked at all unless we had a top managerial replacement.

    What was that mate?

    Was it failing to try to beat 10 men at Swansea or waving a white flag at home to Huddersfield.

    No offence but he looked disinterested towards the end ...

    ... shame, I really like the bloke.

    That we need experienced first team players to play alongside the kids that we are developing to sell on further down the line

    Every summer signing bar Jobe. How many starts do they have between them? Ba and Bennette? Bennette was the exact same as Rusyn, the language barrier crack straight away. How come no other club needs to give players a year to learn the language?

    He was playing the same team most weeks no matter what the result previously. The best managers in the world don’t watch their team get sh*gged by teams at the bottom of the league consistently and refuse to change it. Players get comfortable knowing they’ll be in the team whether they perform or not and this is what happens.

    Mowbrays record at Sunderland is actually worse than Beales was at QPR so make from that what you will. His record in Scotland with Celtic was also shocking compared to Beales with Rangers. He’s just not a great manager he was a steady pair of hands and we were on a decline the writing was on the wall. We had nothing to lose by getting rid of him we wouldn’t have gone up this season if we kept him.

    Who do we take out to bring in this experience because according to most of our fans we have the best player of his position all over the pitch

    So what you're saying is that the club are bringing in a man who's respected by some of the top players for being a top coach looking to fill our head coach role?

    I believe we're bringing in players to help us progress primarily ...

    ... any future financial benefit is a bonus, not the aim.

    If KLD wants a return on his investment a Post Office Savings Account would be a better option.

    Hes far from great i agree but alot more experienced than Beale and had a bond within the squad. Was that worth ending for Beale??

    Still not sure what you mean about freezing players out? Bennette has been injured and all our strikers were given game time?

    Dodds said he wasn't doing anything different apart from media duties so assumed he was doing most of the coaching when Tone was here.

    Nice. I’m pleased for you.

    I didn’t, and was eventually proved right.
