Tony Mowbray


Speaking as an outsider I'm astonished there's even talk of Mogga being replaced.

You might tell me different but seems like he's done a brilliant job with limited resources.

To be fair we have never ever gone down the foreign coach route. We had Di Canio but his experience was in the UK. I don't want to get shot of Mowbray, more because I think too much unforced turnover is not good and makes you potentially like Watford. However, at some point it would be interesting to try a go ahead, progressive foreign coach witha good track record. The Italian lad who has been coaching in Turkey unfortunately didn't have a really good record.

The lad at red bull does have a good record, like I’ve said just need to trust the club in knowing what they’re doing

Yeah that’s the issue. I don’t think people outside really know how the club runs now.
 
Tony Mowbray has done a really good job here. Has a squad without strikers and fit centre halves to work with and still got into the play offs. Difficult to see how he could have done better. Deserves another crack at this definitely.
 
Personally, I think Mowbray will go. I think the higher ups brought him in to do a job in the wake of Alex Neil leaving and he's accomplished what they hoped. Stabilised us and gave us a really solid season, now they'll want to bring in somebody they feel fits with our new ethos as a club. It'll be a shame because we've all grown to really like Mowbray but ultimately, our opinions don't really matter. Hopefully he stays but if not, good luck to him.

The manager stays as he is getting the best out of his players, Roberts being one example - That is literally a managers raison d'etre.
Why do teams sack managers after a transfer window closes, so he can get more out of the same group of players.

Given all the managerial sackings/appointments and the best example you can come up with is over 10 years ago, I'd say that is a bit of a reach.

The point I'm making is that they went for a manager who was relatively unknown to replace a manager who was doing a good job in the lower divisions and ultimately hit his ceiling once they were in the PL. The manager they got in has ended up being one of the best managers in world football and he took Southampton to heights that were beyond Adkins.

The trajectory of Southampton and Sunderland in comparison is very similar that both clubs progressed through the league to a point they are now pushing to be in the PL and then beyond.

How are Southampton doing under their model there?
