Tony Mowbray Rumour

Our last head coach was on a 12 mth contract
For it’s the age of him that’ll mean he won’t get the job. 58 year old seems to fly in the face of what the club is about.
Personally think your reading a bit to much into the philosophy.
The head coach will be whoever they see fitting the structure, regardless of age
So we wouldn't take Klopp then?
And before you start, I'm only using him as an example as he's the wrong side of 50 as well
Surely if he ticks all of the data boxes his age is irrelevant

Clearly.....that's why we previously hired AN on a 12 month rolling contract

Yeah to get him through the door, they were obviously then hoping to extend that until Stoke came in.
They weren't. He'd just signed a new (higher pay) 12 months rolling contract 4 weeks ago.

Even then we'd have made money on him.Clearly.....that's why we previously hired AN on a 12 month rolling contract
Could you ever imagine Mowbary being poached!
So still a nice little earner

To be fair I had no idea Farke was even in a job. I must admit my knowledge of the football world has took a battering since we dropped into league one, just couldn’t stomach looking up the leagues I thinkWe’ve had people on here mentioning the likes of Farke who is flying in the Bundesliga or Nuno earning top dollar in Saudi Arabia, ffs.Out of touch with modern football/ reality
The flip side of all this is that many or most of the coaches we would want will currently be in jobs and we won't pay the required compen. Mowbray obviously wouldn't be anyone's long term appointment but he'd be a decent fix until a better opportunity arises for the club.

I am not sure Neil was such a catch. He had been sacked from Preston after several mid season finishes. I was quite shocked that Stoke took him based off 6 good months here.

The likes of the Manning though will be on pennies I'd imagine, so will cost next to nothing to poach. I also bet he'll want less wage than Mowbary.

Was he? It seems common knowledge that he signed an improved contract recently. Who says it was still a rolling contract?

Did Mowbray take training this morn?
Maybe, not sure Manning fits that well with how we want to play. More of a Poyet / Jack Ross type I thought. Mowbray takes over and its seamless in terms of high press etc
My mistake if it wasn't, not sure. Assumed it would be as he knew he was going to Stoke anyway.

Add onto Manning his backroom team, which is rumoured to be quite a big team

Considering the money received for having a manager poached pales into insignificance compared to what changes hands for players, the club would be better off focusing on the latter.
That's why it likely will be Mowbray as he's got a track record for doing that.
Manning's sides are very aggressive with their press mind...
