Can't believe I'm going to agree with cc4l, but I do have to say Mowbray does deserve some credit for what he did.
He deserves criticism for his recruitment last year of course he does, but he doesn't deserve half the shit he gets from some people.
As CC4L has said he achieved our best finish in 10 years and he played the best football for us in a long time. Yes we were in a good position for 3/4 months of the season and the fact we let that slip is disappointing but, he's the one that got us there, he's the one that built that team.
Last year was a shambles, but he had his budget slashed, and yes maybe he wasn't wrong for aiming too high in terms of players, he took a gamble and it failed, but he didn't sit there and steal a living, he knew he couldn't do anymore with the squad and had the balls to leave without pay and give someone else a shot. I have no doubt if robins had been approached then, he would have kept us up as he seemed to be able to get more out of the players than Mowbray or anybody else last season.
