    so who's going to replace Tony Mowbray then?

    Erm yes....but some on here want him sacked. I've already made my point regarding the validity of some managerial changes. However, it generally doesn't work. In fact, in our case, it's failed quite spectacularly in the last 10 years.

    so who's going to replace Tony Mowbray then?

    I get your point. Unfortunately, history doesn't back it up.

    so who's going to replace Tony Mowbray then?

    The obvious personal vendetta doesn't do either of them any favours.

    so who's going to replace Tony Mowbray then?

    I get the irony of the OP. The point is....it doesn't matter. It hasn't for years and years and years......yet some see it as 'the answer'. It's so bad, it's not even classed as repeating the same mistake anymore........it's an effin' tradition of failure. I'll edit to add: Some...

    Kudos for putting it right. Your writing is good, it's entertaining, so-much-so that it's even a good read after a shitty loss. I know it's a blog, but if you want to take it further, a good article has a mix of facts and scene setting/story telling. I have a contact at the Guardian, one...

    Mowbray Out

    ...then get hired somewhere else before 'failing' again. Impatience has become a culture. It's a shitty part of the game that obviously doesn't work. Otherwise it wouldn't be repeated ad nauseam.

    We needed a minor miracle to go up that season.

    Fair play, he did the right thing and edited it. I'm not going to drag it up again.

    Expectations at begining of season were...

    Hardly. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that we'd be deducted 10 points for going in to Admin. We finished 15th....10 places and 19 points behind the playoffs.

    To further support your point, you could add that; Dublin was, yet there were no stats on FIFA for that !

    Mowbray Out

    Your points are all over the place. Sack him, give him time, now sack him again. It's a proven fact that our constant firing of managers hasn't worked. But I'll play along. Who would you like to replace him with ?

    It's possible, if you have strength in depth. We don't.

    Mowbray Out

    I think the onus is on you to justify an 11th manager in 8 years. Who's up next to get one season at turning the club around?

    He was (unfairly) less than complimentary about someone else's blog. Which is always ill advised when your own isn't perfect. He edited it, so fair play to him.

    Wise edit.......it's late in the UK anyway, not many, if any, will have seen your original comment. Unfortunately, since I already quoted it....it will stick. So, as you'd word play; Mum isn't the word. Bummer Your only hope is that they can't be arsed to look back ;)

    You're either offended or selective...you missed 'trying too hard'. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad. When you're 'playing with words', don't lose focus on the subject matter. Just an opinion.
