Why are we a League One club? SISU are to blame for that.

Look don't want to get into a ding dong with you, us fans need to stick together. Yes, I agree with all of the positives top 8 finish. But thats gone now, you can only judge on the here and now, even mowbray said it isn't good enough. And 2016 and this season hasn't been good enough, and a lot of that is down to mowbray.
Not sure what your second relates to.
I'm sad its ending this way, I like him as a person.

We wouldn't have gone up as champions, Wigan were on fire.[/QUOTE]
So were we. 2 or 3 players not billionaire money just solid pro`s at this level.
We got Hunt and Henderson.

What a f**king pity SISU never did that eh!

We then got Jones and Gadzev just after which would be strange if there was no money.
TM thought he was getting solid pros in didn't he?
In the Winter window he got:
Martin Lorentzson
Andy Rose
Peter Ramage
Joe Cole
Stephen Hunt
Darius Henderson
Kyle Spence 
Bilal Sayoud 
Vladimir GadzhevThen loans:
Jack Stephens
Baily Cargill
Jodi JonesI agree with you to a point. It feels almost like a lost cause. I can't see any other manager doing anything better than the previous 9. So keeping Mowbray would be just a good as getting anyone else. But getting a new manager is always tempting for any board or fans in the situation. This is what football is all about dreaming of what might be.
SISU are the problem. Yes they inherited a club in debt. But I'm sure there were others about at the time waiting for us to go under and then invest in us also. So to say they saved us is true, but others could have also. People are quick to put down SISU haters but I don't understand why. And honourable thing to do would be to put the club up for sale and see if anyone will buy us. If not - so be it.
If we don't have a change in ownership I can't see us ever stopping this decline. My brother and I after the game last night realised that there is a great possibility that we will have watched city in 4 divisions by next season. Who's to say in won't be 5!!!!!

It does not matter what job you do in life, as long as the rewards and recognition match your expectations and your happy. If however the owners of any company don't have the same drive and ambition as you the natural course would dictate that you find another job or put up with mediocrity. If Mowbray has decided to leave its because of this and not because he can not do the job. This is another indictment of our owners and why they are not fit for purpose, the pressure is mounting and Mowbray is going before the bomb drops and he is included in the collateral damage. Good luck Tony, I am sure their will be a job for you in the higher leagues where you will be given the tools and support to do the job!

Les Reid on Twitter saying Mowbray has resigned.
Given he is in bed with the club at the moment it can be taken as confirmation he has gone.

Think this is a truly sad day for CCFC.
Last year top, today rock bottom. In between massive upheaval on the playing staff, largely due to not having the sufficient budget to either retain or recruit the identified targets.
Losing TM will sate a few of the SISU zealots as they try to get us to look the other way and we will all be distracted for a while but CCFC are losing a very capable manager.
The only reason we may attract a new manager is that taking us on is a "free hit" succeed and you are a genius, fail and no-one could expect anything else with that upheaval and the truly sorry saga of the SISU years.

That's the issue, were the identified targets correct?
If he was capable, we wouldn't be rock bottom surely?

I think it is the loan culture we have adopted in more recent times that is the main problem. How can you realistically build an effective squad knowing that your staff turnover is going to be so high. Can't develop a sustainable coherent team culture, work ethic or strategic plan & change it again every 4-6 months imo
Any incumbent is doomed to failure under those circumstances. Our owners seem blind to it or simply ignore it though

No ding dong
I just think signs of positivity are there. Just need a lil bit more time. Few wins on trot and climb table in no time. It's only September. I hope tm stays.
Give him another full season and see where we finish. Won't be anywhere near relegation zone I assure you

Leicester is a good example. Presumably they only won the premier league last season because of the incompetence of the previous owners. It's the same principle at the end of the day for blaming 9 years *9 YEARS* of utter failure of the current owners on previous owners. 9 fucking years for crying out loud. Serious reality check needed by some members of this forum.

I agree in some ways...what worries me is that thinking back to our last season in the Premiership - lots of pundits & supporters of other teams were very reassuring right up to the last few weeks of the season that we were playing some good football or were too good to go down - but we did

Cole....quality if fit. He wasn't. That is why he came to us. Not much quality in the rest of them. If some of the Maddison money was given to him better quality players couldhave been brought in to keep up with the promotion push. It didn't. The rest is history.We then got Jones and Gadzev just after which would be strange if there was no money.

Hilarious- nothing to do with the 200 million pumped into the club.

Bye Tony M.
I was underwhelmed by your appointment (I think my exact reaction on here was "Meh").....he then won me over during his first 6 months......then it all inevitably turned to shit......as fucking usual.
Same as it ever was.
We'll finish 17th.
Next.

Like when he brought Jones in with the agreement to buy already done?
Trying to fit Cole in when we were playing well and he wasn't fit didn't work too well.

That's my point exactly. I can see that. But according to some it's people who haven't been at the club for 9 years who are to blame for our downfall. Presumably if SISU had have done a Leicester they'd be congratulating those that went before SISU for doing their bit in gaining us that success? I doubt it. I'll tell you something though. If they had have done a Leicester with us I'd only be praising them same as I'm only blaming them now. That's the difference.
