Tony Mowbray Rumour

rover in peace said:
Rovers fan in peace

Just came to see what you all thought of the Mowbray appointment and share my experience of five years watching his teams.

Firstly he has a reputation as an attack minded coach who play free flowing football the “right way”. This is nonsense. It was the most boring football I can remember.

Secondly he will play players in random positions such as the Bradley Johnson false nine experiment , the sam Gallagher at right back and many other strange choices.

He is a players man. Tries to keep everyone happy dishing minutes and contracts out like toffee to the detriment of the team. He will talk about journeys and slow builds to buy him time to top his pension fund up.

He will start all this waffle about integrity and being honest and humble and talk to you decent hard working class folk . It’s all an act.

And finally don’t forget the Xmas death spiral and early cup exits where you won’t win a game after Xmas and you won’t make it to round three of any cup regardless of opposition. He openly admitted he doesn’t work on set pieces and never checks the league table as long as he is developing honest lads with good personality, this also means you get substitutions that aren’t based on what’s happening on the game but who hasn’t had minutes . He didn’t sign a player for us we needed because he wore ripped jeans.

When it inevitably goes tits up he will say he’d rather be with his wife and kids . Not after being sacked whilst still in charge.

The man is clueless and as the weeks go on the sound bites go from heart warming to cringe to seriously get him away from my club.

I genuinely wish you all well for the season. Always liked Sunderland as a club and fanbase and you don’t deserve this appointment.

No matter how much you don’t want him here, it’s not your decisions. Loads of people didn’t want Alex Neil here…in fact, for the last decade loads of people haven’t wanted whichever manager we’ve appointed here. The last managers who had most people on side ended in disaster.

I said in here at the time Neil was appointed that he'd take us straight up. Mowbray won't be a good appointment at all.

I have to say that is certainly not consistent with a similar length post by a Boro fan. I wonder which one is more E accurate.

Good Post. Shocked at the amount of people who think he'd be a good appointment

Agree with that. Of course he wouldn't be an exciting appointment but he wouldn't be a bad one and would certainly have some logic to it. However, you are mistaking arrogance for ambition. Last two or three years we have git the best ever attendances in the 3rd division - better than Leeds or Man City or anyone else did. 50k fans to Wembley etc. Yes, I know that counts for nothing but it means we have a right to aspire to emulate clubs who get smaller crowds. That's all it is - aspiration. And Mowbray, while quite a safe appointment, is neither aspirational or exciting. But to repeat I wouldn't be against him, just not excited.

What do you mean? Kev said Sunderland aren't going for Mowbray?

Nah mate, just cracking on with him tonight & asked him he fancied it. Said it’s not for him. Hates the mags tho

Come on Mods, this has to be another Sad M@g wind-up merchant.
 
This talk of him coming in as a consultant for a more junior coach seems a non-starter to me.

The club are begrudged to pay one coach let alone two!

I think you’re more likely to be a gravy guzzler than a rovers fan in peace.

He won the first division with Rovers and established them in the championship.
