Walking in a Mowbray Wonderland? (7 Viewers)

Just wondering... what deals and agreements that are being offered to Mowbray, why was it not offered to Mark Robins at the time he left us for Huddersfield?

I do remember Mark Robins saying that he was not getting any assurances from the club regarding its future. What has changed???
I'm just guessing here but I think the assurances Robins was looking for was with regards to the Ricoh and where would we be playing. He probably had a good idea that Sixfields was a real possibility.

The assurances Mowbray is looking for is more with regards to the football side, will he be allowed to bring his own coaches in, will he be able to put in place a scouting system, will he be able to do any training ground upgrades he feels are necessary etc.

Take it Mowbray is waiting for exact confirmation of budget, scouts, coaches and maybe a couple of transfers/loans he wants sorted before he signs. Also might be a case of telling Waggot to do one as well. I'm sure the delay is about budget, why would he sign without being given funds for a goalkeeper and goalscorer etc! Mowbray has a good reputation and we have a good reputation of ruining managers so he needs assurances of change. It's obvious he's here for a promotion push next year nothing less.

I would hope so prt. There's enough in the press over the years for him to see how this club has been run. He isn't an idiot and has seen how, while it's probably necessary for the club to be "cash flow positive", the reliance on developing the kids as Presley wanted/was told to do, was a very long term plan and isn't going to satisfy the masses and won't get the fans clamoring for tickets. Selling off those kids with potential isn't going to help push us on, so hopefully he's insisting that funds are made available to get a squad together who can challenge.

I'm hoping that he doesn't need the money enough to have the headache of a lost cause, which won't do his reputation any good. If he does sign, it'll surely be with a brighter future ahead.

In reality, what assurances can Mowbray get? Ive thought all along Im sure they will just promise him the world and then slowly fail to deliver anything!

The best thing would be for TM & club to release a public statement outlining some of the terms.

However I'm expecting everything to be covered by a confidentiality clause of some sort.

I still have a feeling its about him getting out of a contract other than in to the one offered, its just a felling no knowledge, no insider line. I think he maybe covering himself if things don't come his way that have been asked for, no big release clause, not being held if he wants out..I think Sisu are in a hard spot as they would not of dealt with a TM sort of manager before he holds all the cards.. They need him more than he needs them at this point and how can they promise to support him if most fans are waiting to see if he signs,,, what can be guaranteed for certain..

No, I mean somebody reading something, missing the point of context and going off on one.

So he has signed a 2 year contract. Well, I am pleased about that though I did not think that he would. I am even more pleased with the way in which he has dealt with our owners. This is no "yes" man. He will have covered all bases with his demands and clearly Sisu have accepted them. We are in for some ride next season my friends!

Hahahaha..*Ping* there goes a rib, *Ping**ping* there goes another two. The biggest joke Mr Estimated Facts, is you. You were a fucking joke when you were KDuffy, and you're even a bigger joke now that you're Grendel. You think you're clever being a WUM but when someone confronts your post you fuck off and not heard of for a couple of days, when you magically appear on another thread as if nothing has happened No I won't call you a joke Grenduffy....Nothing is that funny.

Fair enough.... I'm glad he has signed.. he clearly has called the shots to Joy and she's let someone who knows about football to start sorting things out.

And you two SBK and Grendel as well. How can you be more interested in an argument than celebrating what could easily be the best thing to happen at our club for many years? Can we all call a truce for one night at least?

We all have views about each other. But so what. Cheer up Grendel. The best thing is this isn't a dream. Although I might have a wet dream thinking about it :pimp:
