Not answering for Pure River here, he is a top poster and can do that for himself.
I remember at some pre season event or other how glowing Speakman was about Mowbray. He even suggested he was on the radar when Johnson went but was in work. Suggests 2 things, last 2 appointments have ideally been people out of work, but also that Mowbray has been respected for a long time as perfect for our model. Speakman addressed the tweet that everyone now relies upon as the start of the unease re Farioli. Never said it did or didnt happen, but made it clear that some people can post something and it is treated as fact by some. Quite true as well that.
My own opinion, and it is not meant to be offensive to anyone who thinks otherwise, is there is absolutely zero in this. I said it in the summer and I am even more certain now. There may be arguments and disagreements, shouting matches and rants. As it should be in a grown up management team. Doesnt mean either party have any lack of faith or trust, in fact quite the opposite. Mowbray has openly praised the record of the recruitment team recently, and as posted earlier Speakman has praised Mowbray highly. Mowbray in particular is so experienced, and so respected, if he felt there was a real problem he could and would (in my opinion) go, knowing he would land a plumb job by Christmas. I have very little faith in the modern media these days, but these sorts of stories sell papers (or get internet traffic) and there is no need to ever back up their claims.
Mowbray is our man, and I think he is the clubs man too. Unless he crashes the results and performances I think he will be here next season and beyond.
