Xela Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Decent if unspectacular manager, and decent bloke by the sound of it. Mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I still find it incredible that you can get internet access on the London Underground but it’s so spotty sometimes that you don’t see bumped posts and end up writing in the wrong thread.

Even if they lost every game to Rangers it’s hard to see how he managed such an appalling win percentage in a 2 team league (1 and a bit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 When Mowbray was sacked by Celtic in March they had failed to win ten of their league games up until that point, they were ten points behind Rangers having played two games more, and Mowbray's final game was 4-0 defeat to St Mirren. He didn't last the season there because he wasn't very good, not just in Europe, but the league as well 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On 08/01/2024 at 14:07, LondonLax said: 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. I always remember them signing Scott Carson that summer and he was at fault for so many goals. They couldn't defend but wasn't helped by someone with such a low save percentage at the time. Since then he's been steady. I actually think he did a better job at Blackburn than he did at Sunderland. Top bloke aswell which is why it's very annoying SHA have got a manager in that I'll find very difficult to dislike compared to their usual gobshites. Was hoping they'd appoint someone like Karl Robinson or Neil Lennon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 10 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10 Perhaps Mowbray is collecting the west midlands clubs like Brucie did, and we'll get him next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt an incubator in Bodymoor Heath containing a clone of Unai Emery, ready for when he leaves us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oishiiniku_uk Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Their fans are getting excited about Mowbray's 41% win rate and 1.4 ppg career average, bless 'em. I mean, beggars can't be choosers, but crikey! Anything is better than Rooney though, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I know a Sunderland fan who was not too impressed with Mowbray leaving them... Would not be surprised to see him do a good job at SHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 For their fans, their time in the premier league is like one of those burps you do and from it you suddenly remember a delicious curry. Problem is, there's something unsettling about tasting it again, partially regurgitated, 24h later. Mowbray's a decent manager for that level. And that's the issue: they're topping out at that level. Like a pig belongs in sh*t and slurry and gets a comfort from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
