Tony Mowbray Rumour

ReaL Madras said:
I will say this about Tony Mowbray:
  • He was a very steady and committed footballer
  • He is undoubtedly a gentleman and respectful of clubs and their fans
  • He was extraordinarily dignified and had all of our sympathies when he lost his first wife
  • He is committed to playing fluid, attacking football
  • He has a decent record at this level
  • He likes to play and develop young players
  • He has experienced promotions and relegations
  • He knows the North East well…. This is a big issue with appointing managers here
  • He should be able to advise our central defenders on how to position and defend
  • He won’t be intimidated by our supporters having managed Celtic, Middlesbrough, West Brom and Blackburn.
  • Regardless what we like to think, we are a club in transition and he is still young enough to have that desire to have success

Very well put but will be overlooked by those posters who seem to be engaging in the longest angry cry wank in history
 

Are these not similar reactions to when we appointed Neil?
Let’s get behind him and see where we go .( if it is him )
At least he would probs move to the area!

Am I missing something? Did he do shite at Blackburn or something? Seemed to have a 1.47 points per game ratio at them, which would have Sunderland comfortably top half in the championship.

He’s not done “shite” anywhere really. Fizzled out at a few places but no major disasters.

People deride him for the comments he made in his first season at wba but he still got them up next year. I’ve even seen boro fans (arguably his least successful stint) praising him. Whether he’s an ambitious appointment is a different argument but he’s certainly not the joke / disaster some would have you believe.

West Brom manager Tony Mowbray:
"I want to be gracious in defeat but I know who was the better side on the day - the team with more control and trying to force the game.
"Sunderland are a very organised, defensively set up team and you've got to give them credit for that.

"But over the next 10 games I would suggest we will end up with more points than them because of the way we play. We will score more goals than them."

Did they?
