"The contract allows me to see how the club functions, there is potential for a much longer period ahead." Could be interesting

Contract a two way thing Looking at the play offs, really positive Ignite the fanbase Will meet the players later but won't disrupt preparations, will go down at HT if he feels he needs to do

Mowbray on SkySports News now

Yes I think so, one site says it will be paid out to any manager who is in charge for 10 games or more regardless of whether he is a caretaker or otherwise.

Not everything has to be one extreme or the other but I don't expect you to understand that.

Maybe Mowbray press conference at 1:30 will shed some more light on it.

Says they will reassess at the end of the season a longer term deal, could be possible the short term deal was just to rush it through quickly as there are still some issues with a long term deal. Surely if he does well he will be off to another club anyway if he's out of contract?

Didn't see that coming with only to the end of the season, he's probably been offered a big bonus to keep us up and then they will get try and get someone who will buy into the academy/youth model in the summer.

Maybe Mowbray was appointed by the new owners ready for the takeover...conspiracy

I think it could have been a good role for him, on match day he has proven himself to be inept but he did have an eye on the long term. I'm not sure what a director of football does exactly but he did a lot of good work integrating the academy into the first team and behind the scenes and he...

Was just about the post this, you have to be a bit mad to take on this job.

Just seen the idea proposed would also have a group stage, don't lower league clubs have enough fixtures already?

True, just gives the match a little extra edge/excitement with the new manager officially taking charge which also may rub off on the players.

Say its confirmed tomorrow morning, will Mcfarlane and Hockaday still be taking charge tomorrow night or will the new manager still be in the dugout?

UPDATE: Coventry City are still locked in talks with the man they have selected as their new manager. The Telegraph understands that they want Tony Mowbray to succeed Steven Pressley and that he is keen to accept the challenge, but details are still being ironed out and it might be that...

That was definitely interesting...

Interesting story on the way about the club accounts according to Simon Gilbert

I'm starting to think we won't get an announcement today, the telegraph basically made it up that we would get an appointment today going off the odds without any official word from the club.

Still trying to save credibility as they realise they have egg on there face. I think the next manager (Mowbray?) will prove to all of us just how poor a manager Pressley was.
