tomav84 Posted January 8 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8 He'll stop the rot at least but won't get them anywhere near the playoffs so they'll end up sacking him and replacing him with liam Ridgewell or someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he will get them promotion but he'll set them on the right path to doing so in the future. You say that, but this is sha, they’ll find a way of **** it up.

VillaJ100 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Mowbray's teams usually play quite nice football, but ineffectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Alas he will probably keep them up and may be even get fairly high up the table. They'll still sack him in the summer for not getting playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 From Wayne Rooney to Tony Mowbray, smacks of a total lack of plan in my view. I’m sure he’ll keep them up because he is at least a semi competent Manager with a lot of experience but I don’t think he’s built a reputation on playing ‘fearless football’ and his teams either seem to blow hot or cold in the main. If there’s any merit in the players actively wanting Rooney out then you’d imagine they probably wanted Eustace back in (not that the ‘brave’ new owners would even contemplate publicly acknowledging that they messed up in sacking him in the first place of course) and will Tony Mowbray satisfy them? Time will tell of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've followed Mowbray all that much, but don't believe he's known for playing free flowing attacking football is he? Pretty much his style of play. His West Brom team got relegated by not adapting It hasnt worked everywhere though Edited January 8 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Mowbray won the championship with Olbiyun, the better part of 20 years ago. He won nothing as a manager before that and has won nothing since. Excellent appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Mowbray. The typical managerial merry go round manager. He'll do a job and keep the bog clean, but you can't polish a turd.

useless Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) When you look at Mowbray's career as a manager it looks pretty average 3rd and 4th with Hibs, Promoted with West Brom but then relegated Heidn't last the season at Celtic, He finished 12th, 7th, and 16th with Middlesbrough, was then sacked in the October with them 16th He he took Blackburn job in February, couldn't save them from relegation, but got them promoted automatically, and then finished 15th, 11th, 15th, and 8th He did well at Sunderland to get a young team to 6th and play-offs, Not a particularly exciting appointment, but he should keep them up, not sure beyond that, he left Sunderland because he wanted to sign some older players, this after he was allowed to sign Bradley Dack in the summer and that didn't work out, not sure that would be a sensible approach for his new club Edited January 8 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He's a bang average manager at that level, which is as good as they have any right to hope for at that shower. It's disappointingly sensible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post desensitized43 Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 Disappointing that they've gone to the sensible, safe pair of hands and they won't get relegated now. I like Mowbray. He seems a decent guy. That said...what a word removed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It's a slightly different situation as when he was appointed Blackburn manager in the February of 2017 they were already in the relegation zone, but he didn't save them, and they were only three points from safety with a game in hand and they still had fifteen games of the season left to play. We were only actually seven points ahead of them at that point, and seventeenth in the table, and they had a game in hand on us, this was in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Yeah he's a decent enough Championship manageer and I don't see them going down now. Sensible appointment, good guy as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 His West Brom team was probably his high point. They were similar to Burnley under Kompany. Got promoted playing possession football but couldn’t get results trying that in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
