Much more sensible, reminds me of KP when they first came in and removed Nigel for Sousa and the Sven, before realising you don’t need big names in this division. Mowbray is good enough to get them towards the play offs again, not this season but a good choice if allowed to build now for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 8 January Share Posted 8 January A solid, sound choice. Even if he doesn't get them far up the table, just steering clear of relegation will be enough. Probably puts another nail in the QPR coffin, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 8 January Share Posted 8 January Being a manager must be the easiest gig in the world, Mowbray starts his 9th managerial club appointment & yet after being sacked from all the previous 8 clubs in his 21/22 yrs as a manager he has only been out of work for 1 season, unbelievable Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an alright manager tbh. Had some stupid sackings. Sunderland were moronic to get rid, their fans are upset and they're pretty jealous of Brum who are made up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument to be made that he simply just left Blackburn when his contract was up, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutual termination, the end of a contract or being poached by other clubs is surely the minority? Heck, I just checked Ancelotti's managerial career - 11 club jobs: Reggiana - Poached Parma - Sacked Juventus - Sacked AC Milan - Mutual termination 1 year early Chelsea - Sacked PSG - Resigned Real Madrid - Sacked Munich - Sacked Napoli - Sacked Everton - Poached Real Madrid - current job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 8 January Share Posted 8 January jeez seems my initial point has gone over posters heads, this was not a direct attack at Mowbray per se but that of the 'Managerial gig' & that they (managers) can & often be rewarded for being sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
