Had to step aside at Brum.

Mark Venus to take over for a few weeks.

Fingers crossed for him
Absolutely great bloke
6 to 8 weeks apparently
Sounds like he might need to have radiotherapy (or similar treatment)

I had forgotten he lost his first wife who was only 26.

Absolutely best wishes to you Tony Mowbrey.

Top bloke, up there with the best in terms of humanity and humbleness. Always said it how it was, always liked him even before we had him. Fingers crossed he comes out unscathed all okay

And so should Mowbray, at 60 with a few squillion in the bank take it easy, you get to an age where Mother Nature gives you nudges in the ribs, and she rarely tells lies. take note theres no pockets in shrouds.

You are so right slowpoke. I’m 60 later this year and recently I’ve been getting those nudges too. I need to slow down but unfortunately my pockets aren’t as deep as TM’s. I’m coming up for PNE on Friday evening but giving Maidstone a miss on Monday as I can’t hack the travelling and late nights as much anymore. No fun getting old!

Wish TM all the best too. Met him at the kids Christmas party a few years ago and he was a decent bloke.

But if you’re doing something you enjoy, keep on doing it.
He’s a top footy guy, loves the game and has done well wherever he’s been. Speaks sense and tells it as it is.

If Birmingham City’s form is going to nosedive, I want it to be in the right circumstances without anyone being ill - Made my thoughts on Mowbray the manager clear many times but not the time to bring that up! Hope he makes a full recovery and is back in situ for next season

and I wouldn’t even wish that charlatan taking temporary charge of them on my worst enemy

I think he said this when we desperately needed a win to get away from relegation?. Sometimes as a centre half your job is just to head and kick the ball away.

Always thought he was straight talking and honest.

I hope he has a speedy recovery.

I know it’s in their blood probably been in footie at good levels all his life, but you are a long time dead.

Slightly surprised the club haven’t made an official statement wishing him well tbh.
