Old, miserable persona, been around the block, that’s what put me off without doing any research on him if I’m being honest, read Blackburn fans opinions on him going they were disappointed worked to a tight budget and finished 8th last season, as a stop gap maybe he’s not as bad as first thought

You could argue same as Neil, but old then. Neil was hardly the life and soul, must have been like pulling teeth sometimes talking to him.

I am not advocating for Mowbray, but mor would I write him off as a disaster. His managerial record is decent. He has been at big clubs. Has some good stats to his name. People will be surprised at his style of play too. He has worked closely with our head of recruitment before, so maybe the sort of players we are attracting are the sort Mowbray will work well with. I said earlier I have seen him coach in the past and he looked spot on to me. I supoose we all want a bit of inventiveness in the appointment, but he may be a good fit for the next stage in our journey back to the big time. Whether it is him who knows, but I do feel people jump to conclusions on the name, rather than the achievements.

The more I’ve read on him the more I’m coming round to the idea, I have a tendency to overreact and whinge on here before I look into things with a level head haha

<laugh><laugh> Me too mate. It is part of being a footy fan I reckon.

As I say I am not saying he is my choice. I would bring back Lee Johnson <laugh><laugh>

Cause AN insists on a rolling contract and a clause to allow him to speak to other clubs which I assume means the compo was small!

Let's see if he is on such a flimsy and relatively low paid contract when he signs for Stoke. I doubt it. Hardly any manager I can think of is, at any club. Even the bloke at Watford is on a two year deal.

If the club insist on a rolling deal, then a manager insisting on speaking elsewhere can be expected.

But we'll see who arrives. But I don't expect it to be anyone who will cost any money in compo or wages. The next bloke will probably be idle now and ready to take any chance that comes his way.

Had the club opted for rolling contracts before Alex Neil? I am sure it was Alex Neil who said at the time he was really comfortable with that sort of contract and had had it in the past.

As I said somewhere, let's see if he's on one at Stoke.

I wonder why people are dismissing Mowbray? Anyone got any insight why he is no good?

He should never have left the Housemartins <laugh><laugh>

To be fair he does have a solid track record - press conferences would be drab though

From what I understand Neil wanted the rolling contract just like he originally had at Norwich and Preston

Well people are saying that but no one knows. And, again, let's see if that is what takes him to Stoke

We know we have no manager, a manager we all were praising to the rooftop a week ago.

But we do have a bloke who's ran some youth teams, has a generic degree in business and has all the power.
 
Canning in charge on Wednesday then unless Neil asks him to go there of course.

so could be Dodds and Proctor until further notice
 
Stellings just said mowbrays set to take over on sky so god knows what’s true
