"I'd love to see a scouting system in place, where we can get people going to games to find new exciting players." I thought we had a scouting system now?

He said he's been watching our games on the laptop and we have some good players in O'Brien, Barton, Fleck, Williams. Apparently Barton has caught his eye...:thinking about: Mowbray out?

I wonder if he's seen the state of the pitch yet, with all his talk about good football and stuff.

Lets pack out the stadium, 7-8k is pathetic support regardless of the owners. We should be getting minimum 15k

"The fans are there at home waiting, it's my job to ignite the passion that is inside of them and to make them proud again, it's a game of the people, let's forget the money."

"In this 14 games we have to avoid relegation. I'm here for a bigger picture than 14 games, hopefully next season to get this side back in the Championship."

"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

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?

Sounds rubbish to me, JPT may not be a prestigious trophy but it should be kept exclusively to lower league teams. What attendance would Swansea reserves vs WBA reserves have at Wembley?
