Find a quote where he is wrong?

No, that was me. I turned him down because I saw the look of despair on Sickboys face when he said it and I didn't want to break his poor little heart by saying yes. The rest as they say is history

Really - can you show me a link to that?

Yes the exact quote was Arestute (see what I did there) it was a parody along with Mucas (which I cannot claim any credit for) aimed at posters who made rather feeble attempt at altering usernames and thinking it's clever.

Yes it is nearly as funny as claiming that people are homosexual, something that Tony seems particularly fixated upon.

Sorry, I can't take the credit for that one. Something you actually used to remind me of when having a pop at me, saying things like I'm not even smart enough to be original etc. Strange you've forgotten that :thinking about:

I think I coined Grendull though, you can credit me that one if you like.

One of the good things about Mowbray is that he has the stature to attract good players. I doubt whether we would have got Armstrong, Murphy, Kent, Cole, Cargill or Stephens without Mowbray at the helm. You remember the type of loanees we got under Pressley?
Click to expand...

Exactly, what you have to remember is Mowbray rebuilt this squad in the summer.

With the team we have I would be disappointed if we didn't make the play offs and you could blame the manager for that if you wanted, but we should remember we wouldn't have had the team we have if it wasn't for Mowbray.

Not just Mowbray but Venus too. They seem to come as a package as well so we wouldn't just be losing a good manager, we'd be losing a good technical director (I think that's his official title). Something that would take us a long time to recover from. Especially when you consider the endless conveyor belt of idiots SISU lumbered the club with in the past. We might never get a pairing this competent under SISU ever again.

I was amazed we got them in the first place and whether you like it or not the club's vision to get them in has to be commended.

This is especially the case when the majority were claiming we were certain to end up with Hockaday

It's TM's vision, he brought MV here. Let's not try and fool ourselves that it's all part of some SISU master plan envisaged by the likes of TF. It's not.

TM sort out an audience with JS and sold her a vision of the club and signed on his own terms. Part of that was bringing in MV to run the on field side of the business. If there's a vision at the club it's down to them.

....and who brought them into the club in the first place? If you'd have listened to the majority you'd have never believed that we could have attracted someone like Mowbray; apparently they weren't willing to pay him what he wanted and we'd end up with Hockaday.

I am not suggesting that SISU had the vision, I believed they stumbled upon a winner by good fortune but they certainly didn't go for the cheap option.

tbf, since Thorn, their manager choices haven't been bad. Robins was good, common sense and knew what needed fixing. Pressley was a considered choice, and did do good in bringing some youngsters through and keeping our head above water, Mowbray's been a good choice so far.

Personally I'm still nervous that the 'vision' of Mowbray tallies with SISU in terms of it being short term shit or bust but... we'll probably get a better idea of that next year I guess, and the occasional win has been quite nice regardless.

Nobody brought "THEM" in at all. Ironically the person who initially brought TM to the club is no longer here, Steve Waggott. TM stayed on his terms and then brought in MV himself to make it a "THEM".

I wasn't aware that Waggott pursued Mowbray, do you have a link to something about it? I wasn't aware that he was working for nothing either and here was me thinking he would be one of the highest paid managers in the league as well!

Of course he hasn't got a link.

It's just his latest round of shit to spout. Let's believe Waggo day.

Do you have a link showing any different and how many clubs did we fight off to get him here.
Don't fool yourself he was unemployed and needed a job.

Boro legend Mowbray was the first person interviewed for the job and was approached by chief executive Steve Waggott rather than applying for the post.

Waggot was never shy of claiming successes were down to him.
