Tony Mowbray Rumour

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.

Could do the same for Alex Neil tbh

Reputation of good football, can’t recall ever seeing it. Got out of L1 with a squad the much derided and inferior Lee Johnson had third in the league, aka it was a good squad

Waffles on about integrity etc. All a load of bollocks when more money offered. When pulled up on being a greedy bastard will most likely hide behind smoke screen of moving closer to the wife.

Decided to make 11 changes for a cup tie before f***ing off two weeks later so he’s not one for the cups either.

He’s a bang average, middle of the road Championship Manager. Dour, Boring and when the honeymoon ended he’d be flapping about like he did at Norwich and Preston. No one went near him for over a year. Good Riddance, I only hope March 4th is his last game.

Most people: “This year is about consolidating, mid table is good” Manager with track record of doing just that, like Neil, “nah shite not having him”

Mid table is the minimum this squad is capable of. We don't need someone to help us consolidate, we need someone to keep us moving forward and upwards.

Spoken couple rovers fans they said he will keep Sunderland up thats it
 
I have no problem with where mowbray is from but he seems to have had an issue with us.
If it all goes wrong then he’ll play the same card as Bruce did and it will be all our fault.
He’s had 18 or so years in management and not achieved much to shout about. He might keep us up, which of course is a goal but I’d be massively underwhelmed if we did pick him with the potential of added drama if it does go pear shaped.

From the post on the Blackburn board:

“Antagonizing the fans with sly remarks, and being petulant when questioned”

When we beat west brom

It was said at the time and it makes more sense now that he was making a point to the club that we had little strength in depth

Oh that’s okay then. Effectively throw a game because he’s having a strop at a club he doesn’t want to be at. What a ****. Even better that he’s gone
