RTG Sunderland Message Boards
In my opinion it is far too big a leap for the likes of Schumacher at Plymouth , or Will Still at Reims to take over managing a club as demanding as Sunderland , without the help of a fully experienced mentor.
Mowbray would have been ideal , a gem of a coach who was trusted and respected by the players .
He was at a stage of his career that he would have welcomed a role coaching the players full time , whilst giving guidance to a new young manager
Once again I think Sunderland have missed a golden opportunity to progress - was there any talks with Mowbray trying to persuade him to take up such a roll ?
It could have been a win win situation - bringing in a young progressive motivated manager - helped and guided by a great coach and mentor in Mowbray
