He's worth at least another 2 zeros on that after Saturday

It's because people on Twitter and here know all transfer fees and the exact amount all our players earn.

For what? Making a mess of a league one promotion then building a league one relegation side with inept recruitment. Yes you are right I am truly thankful.

Let's be honest, we are as East Midlands as we are West. We're not really part of the West Midlands conurbation. We're central Midlands I suppose.

This is bollocks:

Injuries hit hard in the second half of that season, as Coventry slipped from the top of League One and missed out on the play-offs.

We lacked some defensive cover due to Mowbray's dreadful recruitment, but all of our better players stayed injury free pretty much

Lost 4 Centre halfs over the course of the season, Willis, Reda, Turner and Carrgil. I would say they were all pretty vital. Stokes was injured around February time and didn't play again properly until the end of last season. We also had Maddison out for 4 months after he made a major impact in the first few games. Maybe not the second half of the season but the injuries happened.

They don't get off Scott free do they? They get acknowledged for fucking up and not being up to it.

The reason it's worse with Mowbray is he fucked it up so badly after being so high up in the league and playoffs were within touch. Yes he got us to that position - but we were in that position nonetheless. Fucking that up the way he did was unexcusable.
He then built a relegation standard team because he was aiming for championship standard players on a league one budget. He couldn't even see it through he left after 10 games because he knew what he and done.

I don't understand why you defend him so much....it is what it is he messed up move on.

Turner was going to be recalled anyway. Cardiff played the Friday night and their centre back got injured, had turner come through the Saturday game unscathed he would have undoubtedly been recalled.

Can't you just accept that your beloved Tony royally ballsed up our best chance of promotion in years. He signed such high quality players as Henderson Hunt Ramage to name a few. He then sold Vincelot for what he claimed was beneficial to the team then signed nobody but a few loans and Sordell and Kwame Thomas. He spent a summer dithering trying to sign players who would never sign for us then left after 10 games without a win following on from the previous half season fiasco. He bought in Venus as his recruitment manager and look what happened there. How many permanent signings did Mowbray/Venus actually make that would be described as successful with the exception of Jones?
Aside from this though he signed 1 player of potential that, up to now has not really fulfilled it, yet you are lauding him as a top signing after realistically 1 good game! No wonder you rate Tony so highly if you base opinions on single games.

The fact is that it indicates the luck or lack of it that season that 4 centre halves, 5 if you count Stokes who did play centre half around Christmas time, were injured. Mowbray mentions this in the interview and it's true.

So because he gave us a decent start he is above any criticism?

Hmm, put his family first. Wonder if he would have done that had we NOT been on a 10 match no win streak and him under pressure.

If we had won 4 or 5 games I wonder if he would have walked to spend more time with his family.

I've said this before, but I still like Mowbray. Pressley killed my love of football, and Mowbray brought it back . For that, he's okay in my eyes.

Im not lauding Jones after 1 good game. I am criticising Mowbray for having about 30 games of going from top 3 in League One to relegation zone with a fair worse squad. You have still failed to answer my question from my last post regarding the permanent signings he made that were successful too. I also mentioned Venus as a massive failure too so does this also make me a moron?
I expect you are the type who keep a girl even though she cheated 5 times because you had a good start to the relationship and cant accept you got her wrong.

and i keep a girl who cheats 5 times because i like to watch her with another man....

So Mowbray was good because he signed one player for a small amount that has had 1 good game? Explain what else he did that was so amazing please im dying to know. The 8th place finish isn't something to be proud of as we spent most of the season in the top 3/4. You cant find any other good things he did so are clinging to this one thing to fuel your obsession.

He's a bottle job. When he left he painted the picture that it was some great gesture to the club that he was walking and the club could do without having to pay him off. Now it's family reasons. In reality, he could see how much he'd buggered things up and did one before the inevitable happened, and ended up getting another club relegated. Congratulations Tony.

He get's the same ridicule as anyone else who had the same record as he did in 2016. You however then defend him saying "we still came 8th" or whatever it was. That is no consolation unfortunately

I'm with you on this, the first half of that season was the first time I'd enjoyed watching a cov side play for years and for me that's enough for me to remain fond of him. He dared to play proper football in league one and it almost paid off. I have no doubt if sisu had put some cash up to see us over the line in January he wouldn't have needed to sign Henderson and Ramage and could have bought some proper players

I'm right then. Thanks.

It was only really Stokes who was a big miss but Haynes was still at the club.

We had Jack Stephens on loan, the same lad who is playing regularly for a decent Southampton side now. Maddison wasn't even starting games towards the end of the season.
