The mag rag said pretty much ‘I don’t know what he earned but it’s not market rate. Which is it?
Yeah I don’t get that either you know what it is (which you have to to know it’s not market rate) or you’re publishing something to suit your agenda. Can’t have it both ways!
 
Personality-wise maybe. Not necessarily in football terms.
This is it. As a person he’s a boring dour hit… As a manager his teams play football. Swashbuckling is one of the words used. Basically wants his sides to attack.

If he has us playing well, I’m not bothered how boring he is n a presser!!
 
What exactly is our budget when we can't compete with Stoke City on wages for a manager?

We clearly didn't value a guy who had us promoted and sitting top 6 in the championship.

If ffp doesnt include managers wages (genuinely unsure) then no one in the championship can compete with stoke.

It's not clear.

Maybe he valued himself too highly

Would like Fell Top's opinion on this as well as others. I understand that there are numerous coaches at clubs (goalkeeping, attacking, even set -piece coaches) but surely the head coach drives the direction of coaching and strategy and style of play. If Im mistaken then I wont comment further. If not I fear for us contracting Mowbray
 
I have said this before and it is probably not too relevant. I have seen him coach and it looked excellent. It looked high intensity but a lot of fun too, and players want it to be fun. His coaches were all in tune and the whole thing looked very good. It was a while ago though. His reputation, amongst coaches at least, is very high. Regarded as an attack minded coach, 433, with a great manner with players. Also is supposed to be good with young players. There seem to be a few on here who wont accept him ever because he is ex Boro, but hopefully 99% arent so motivated. Super Dav came and we loved him...

I have no idea about managers really mate as I rarely pay attention beyond SAFC. So this all sounds decent enough if it was him, i don't need to be doom and gloom cause his name isn't glamorous
