Tony Mowbray Rumour

They were still second. It’s not a disaster season in that league just the nature of a two horse race.

The rest is pretty much the same thing everyone levelled at Neil. We’ve just come up from league one. Someone with a history of getting sides up to the championship and keeping them there before getting them close to playoffs sounds ideal to me.

Yet didn't last a season. Neil has done in 5 years what has taken Mowbray 20.

Mowbray's champ record is akin to Parkinson's league 1. In fact Parky's better pound for pound.

Wilkinson hadn’t managed at club level for six years before he took our job, it’s not that similar. Unless you mean their public persona is similar?

Well said mate, comparing the 2 is chalk and cheese. I'll remember Wilkinson being appointed till the day I die as crime against humanity.

In fairness he had a reputation for playing attractive football, he even lectured Roy Keane on it once.

Tony Mowbray has Never lectured Roy Keane about anything.

He may have given an opinion, but I doubt RK would stand for a lecture from most people in football, and certainly not from someone nowhere near qualified to give one.

Do you think my comment was actually serious?

I think it's a tongue in cheek reference to Mowbray saying his WBA side would win more points and score more goals than us during our Championship winning season under Keane.

So do you think our club is ok then?

we're on the right tracks and have made huge progress. Team unrecognisable since the arrival of the much maligned Speakman and KLD. Neil walking out to go 'home' is a setback. He wanted a rolling contract so he could do just this. Who knows, perhaps the board were aware of his intentions, though at the time decided his appointment was still the best option. As it turned out it was. He steadied the ship and got us promoted. There's no guarantee the other options would have.
