Buzzing I'd imagine? Considering he is a world class coach with multiple European trophies and was a clear upgrade on his predecessor.
They have their entire reputations resting on this appointment ... ... why the f**k would they jeopardise that to save a few quid
Now this is what I agree with. I don't particularly like this appointment but I certainly don't think it's an appointment based on money. Leaving Mowbray in place or appointing Dodds would've been cheaper.
okay... just going to throw another opinion up here. let's say the club were actually not ready to let TM go, there have been some bad results lately but maybe they were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and the window to get back to 'normal', there has been talk of some 'player revolt' which may well have come from TM's choices on match days and it may well have come from TM trying to make a point, either way it came down to him leaving the club for whatever reason as it was decided he could no longer continue...this happens a lot in football. i honestly believe a few possible candidates were 'on file' but the club had not expected to be looking for them half way through the season which i presume made the whole process more difficult (as we saw with all the talk of compensation etc) so the interviewing and time frame became more condensed, a few names were thrown into the mix, exactly how many of those were actually spoken to or for that matter, how many others were contacted that we had no idea about were involved and none of us know or likely will ever know who was the 'main target' so any speculating is really pointless. the club has made it's decision, as when TM (and others, previously) was announced it has not inspired visions of promotion but each time there has been an improvement and remember, a big part has been the recruitment teams work...so i am once again going to trust the owners to have made the right choice and see how the season goes. as for the ticketing for the mags game, i really cannot fathom that, i think the club has tried to mix it up to get a good atmosphere for the tv...but i see i am not alone in thinking that they should have stuck with the 'bus to get a ticket' idea and just given them the upper seats and put a net along...this way, fans are losing the seat they prefer (never a good idea) and there will be a massive police presence inside to segregate the two groups, also should have taken care as once the game is over 'rogue mags' would be happy to go on a rampage and find their own way home.
But he never finished 3rd which was your point - only 6 games had been played in the league You only appear to wind folk up, you slagged mowbray off non stop then disappeared when he did well
I am generally not a whimper mate (although I have had a moan about the new manager today. I’ll get over that ). But There are mitigating circumstances for people in the north stand I’ve sat there since the ground opened and in the last couple of years had all kinds of ****e thrown down on us to the extent that after the Coventry game the old dear three seats along has stopped going to games the clubs response was to do nothing but pay lip service for safety and segregation reasons they are in the best place Now the Mags winge about it and wrote letters to the FA they cave in and move them SJP never give more than 3k for games always claim they can’t for safety reasons Things like this need sorting before the season starts like at Man U they know where the away fans will be sat and how many they will get. Awful decision by the club in my view
