It describes mowbrays management to a tee.
Robins got an offer from the league above. He didn't resign and go off on his holidays.

Robins left because a club from a higher league offered double his salary near his home. I don't think he would've have left otherwise.
Why wouldn't Jackett come here?
Westley has only been out of work for 6 months. Mowbray was out of work for nearly 18 months.
Yep, Middlesbrough must have shit owners too cus he did the same there

I didn't mention that he's a premier league quality manager did I? That was your opinion of him wasn't it when I said he was a league 1 standard manager when he first signed on full time.

And West Brom.

Jackett wouldn't come here because he knows he could hold out for better offers than take over our basket case.
Not sure what your point is on Westley, yes he would probably come here but if that's the sort of calibre of manager we would be attracting then it sort of validates my point that any manager with ambition or talent wouldn't want to join.

Going by his last appointment Kenny Jacket would want a transfer kitty. That pretty much rules him our here I would think.

Why would SISU want to sack him? It doesn't fit into their plans for us to be promoted! SISU don't want to be paying extra wages etc... and all that goes with being in The Championship. They're completely happy with where we are at the moment whilst their court cases drag on.
By all means sack the manager but you'll be having the same conversations next year with a new manager...nowt will change until the owners have gone and i'm afraid that scenario is a very long way off!

I didn't panic, wasnt it the same with pressley?

I'm afraid thats where we are - SISU showed their hand last January. Top of the table near Xmas and the January transfer window about to open. A £500,000 investment tops would have secured us a new CF, CM and CB - we'd have been right up there...that wasn't in SISUs plan though was it.

Showed their hand by letting Mowbray bring in so much crap.
How many players did we bring in after Christmas?

All frees - Hunt, Henderson, Savage?

His time with us is scarily Pressley-esque.
Come in and steady us towards the end of a season. Kick on and start the next season like a house on fire up till Xmas where we crumble and finish midtable.
Start the next season with a weird 5 at the back formation without the players required to play it and start awfully.
He has 2/3 games for me.

Is that all that came in during that window then?
Cargill, Cole, Stephens, rose. He brought in several, rather than buy 10 players on low wages he could've brought in just 3 on more money. He chooses how to spend the budget.

Jones, gadzev
Could also include lorentzon as he was December

Well he isn't a league one manager at all is he and that's the problem. I always remember Wenger once saying if you manage Coventry you struggle as they have no money.
Mowbray cannot adapt to lack of budget and cannot adapt to a life of compromise, cheap and free signings and moulding a team around what you can get.
He's not in any way a bang average league 1 manager - he's like a waitrose shopper pitching up at Aldi and asking the shop assistant "where is the mange tous" and being shown the frozen peas section.

Did we spend money on transfers in that window then?
Nick

I doubt none of them cost nothing, and Jones was with a view to sign.

All frees, loans or using the wage budget! £500,000 spent on actual transfers for good decent players (our players) would have given us quality and a boost within the squad
He could of if he didn't bring in the 34 club. You think they were playing for nothing? Why not use their wages on one better player for a fee. Oh and Jodi Jones should count as it was a pre planned deal

I'd give it a damned good go.
