He said he would take a couple of months to get up to full speed. The guy turned out for Finland when he said that. Given Mowbray has decided it was worth writing off an entire month anyway that seems rather odd.
Not odd to TM I'm sure.

Look at the opening post , and many of the other threads on here this week .Most of them are all about stuff Turner has reported that Mowbray has hinted at or allegedly said to him .Just seems like it's been a very slow week over at CET HQ and Turner is looking to stir things up .
Whenever I've seen Mowbray he always comes across as a manager not comfortable in front of a camera , so it seems strange he's letting these little " snippets " out to Turner
Unless Turner is really Juggy ?

The Champions of what is in effect the Finnish Premier League are better than Coventry City by a margin.
For once I actually agree with Grendel, he was playing at the time Mowbray quoted that he wasn't able to. It was an excuse.
We'd already missed out on Wilson by that stage too...
He signed Turnball, possibly even blew more of the budget than he thought on it.
It's all bonkers really, our defence especially in the centre is far too weak.

As long as it backs up your bizarre transfer conspiracy theory then I suppose you are delighted

What conspiricy theory?
As the weeks go by, people like you are looking more and more stupid.
The team is absolutely shocking at the moment and alarm bells were ringing ages ago.
Absolutely no chance.
One of the most ludicrous statements I've seen on here in a while.

They were and Mowbray tried to bring players in and failed , just like every other club in the league system did .
Are you still suggesting he did this on purpose ?

No, I'm suggesting at the moment that he is demonstrating nothing other than being fucking clueless.

I genuinely can't believe the slating Mowbray is getting. I hope he wins the league and then shoves the trophy up some of your backsides in punishment.
I hope we win the league too. But for a manager who's had as poor a calendar year as he's had why is it unbelievable? Stats show Pressley did just as good in harder circumstances and he got the bullet
Seriously?
They played champions league qualifiers. Have a look at the standard of some teams that played at that stage.
Have a look at their squad on Wikipedia. Their star striker was released by Leeds as a youth and played a few games for non league Newcastle Benfield.
It's a really poor standard.

It's unbelievable because it is so early in the season, with half a team of new players. Give it a few weeks. If it's still shit then, then yes, it's time to review things. But after a half-dozen games I don't see how you can't write the guy off, especially off the back of the best season in years. And yes, before someone mentions it, I'm well aware we tailed off last season, but the finishing league table position was still the best we've had in L1.
Yes it's early in the season but like I said it's not just this years form. I wouldn't call it tailing off I'd call it a capitulation which was 100% his fault. He had a good few months like Pressley did and that's it. Same as he did at Middlesbrough. He's shown me nothing in the last 9 months to suggest he's gonna turn this around

You're kinda arguing against your own point now

So we sack another manager and employ another manager who has a honeymoon period and then results start to go against him , so we sack another manager and employ another manager who has a honeymoon period and then results start to go against him , so we sack another manager and employ another manager who has a honeymoon period and then results start to go against him ..........and on and on and on and on
At what point should we invest in a manager for 5 years or so and ride the high and lows with him ? Or should we just carry on with the successful policy of the last 10-12 years ?
When did I say sack him? I just said its not unbelievable that people are asking questions of him
How so? I'm saying their standard is better than ours

It's really isn't and I can't believe anyone would say so.

Willis will be right back if we go to a back 4, new player will slot alongside Turnbull and Sterry will drop to the bench

No disrespect meant whatsoever, but I don't see how you can question other people's knowledge of football when you throw statements about seemingly knowing nothing about the Scandinavian leagues. Yes the Veikkausliiga isn't quite as strong as say the AllSvenskan, but those leagues aren't shit by any means. The top teams in those leagues could compete in lower Championship/higher League 1 level without problems. The fact that the team Ojala has joined (SJK) won the league last year, and then you look at our current league position, the teams wouldn't be matched if they played a game.
If it's so good why aren't there lots of Finnish players being brought over here to play in the championship?
Looking at the playing history of the two British players at the Finnish champions tells me all I need to know.
We'll have to agree to disagree, and I guess the argument isn't really that relevant to anything so we've gone off on a bit of a tangent.

I think we can play 4-4-2 now and should be playing it now with our current squad make up it is blatantly obvious!

Standard arguments aside. Ojala just completed 90 minutes for his new team.
Not really that far away was he Mr Mowbray?
