Who? Stewart or Rigg? I thought he was talking about Rigg but he never presses reply. Love Bob but not pressing reply does my nut in :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Soz I was a tad under the weather yesterday after Sat night.
Bellingham is the answer, his dad used to look after the lads finances.
But now I found out its through Couttes bank.
I will explain, I was asked about my Birmingham connections in a PM.
It was about Jobe and his families connection with an agent and their dispute with him.
Then came the F Advisor craic with who looked after them.
Their dad used to, but now it's a private bank in London.
This should have been a reply to a PM but I fecked up again.

He's another of these 'talk like Pep, dress like Pep, think I am Pep' managers imo.

Because he's young people think he's modern thinking and progressive, he isn't. He plays no differently to a dozen other managers who think possession is 9/10ths of the game. Mowbray may as well of had circus music played over the tannoy when Martin was making tactical changes ...

.... Mowbray even brought a couple of kids on to put a big red nose on him to match his clownshoes <laugh>

I actually thought when he came out with the cameraman following him to applaud their fans, before the match "Who does this twat think he is?"

Mowbray is a very witty man, just too subtle for some.

<laugh>

Perhaps he's too subtle for some people at the club, or soft southern journalists, which is where these daft stories, of unrest and disagreements, come from. It's a very 'NE grumpy uncle humour' I'm sure we've all witnessed but it may not translate ...

...we had uncles who's every sentence, to kids, began with 'you bloody idiot'.

Always had us in stitches but must've looked brutal to outsiders.

BTW, though all the TV coverage, pre/post match interviews, etc, did anyone pick up the slightest hint of friction ... personally I can't remember a time when the team spirit has seemed better.

Perhaps Stewart going has helped improve it rather than the opposite as some have suggested, he was never the happiest looking bloke tbh.

It's Nixon. It's a journalist, or what passes for one these days.

Click hunters, wild guess merchants and message board scavangers. They are best ignored or laughed at.

Arsenal had bid 3.5 earlier in the window. What I hear is that he is not going anywhere as him his family and his Agent are very happy at Sunderland and can see he is on a good progression path. Just hope he has a good time in Spain as I believe he is going to be Captain of the U17 during the international break.

What do we make of these quotes from the Ronny Gill? The headline is positive, but the quotes from Mowbray seems to tell a different story....

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...ay-embracing-sunderlands-recruitment-27643997

"The model? Stick to the plan, Tony? I've heard it so many times.

"Yet my experience tells me we need to do this, we need to do that. But I'm not fighting them.

"I genuinely don't storm into Kristjaan's office go 'what's going on?' I'm genuinely calm enough these days to say 'let's coach these kids, let's get on with it', and they are reacting well.

"The model…I sit here and say let's keep going. Somewhere down the line, if we lose three or four on the bounce, I will say 'what do you want me to do? These are young boys, inexperienced, and the crowd might turn against them a little bit and there are a few moans and groans'.

Mowbray has been around long enough to know how these things work.
Carry on

Fair enough. Not looking for negatives, just reacting to some interesting quotes that back up some thoughts on here about Mowbray and his future

You've taken the most negative parts of his answer.

"I can't constantly think I have to play Pritchard, I have to play Dack - these kids need a game."

Mowbray asked for strikers during the window and two of Sunderland's four deadline day signings - on-loan Chelsea man Mason Burstow and Ukrainian Nazariy Rusyn - are frontmen, with an attacking midfielder Adil Aouchiche also arriving. Mowbray said: "We've tried to improve the squad and I've been given some extra tools now with some attacking players, and they might watch that game on Saturday because they were here and wonder how they are going to get into that team!

"That's OK because competition is the main motivator and driver of all footballers."

I picked out the quotes that interested me most. The quotes you have added are what I'd expect the manager to say after a 5-0 win.
