One can only assume he was promised *something*!
Never gonna happen Torch. Incompetent owners won't have any pens in the office so he won't be able to sign on the dotted line. He'll then go and manage someone like Barnsley to European glory within 5 years and we'll be left still trying to sign Eric Black whilst missing out on Joe Cole on loan.
And it's not Thursday.
For the first time in as long as I can remember I am feeling a little optimistic about the future.
Roll on August 8th.
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???

Coventry Telegraph said:“It was a considered decision,” said Robins, who alluded to the current rent dispute between the club and Arena Coventry Ltd – the owners of the Ricoh Arena.
“I spoke to the owner, I sought assurances and didn’t get any assurances from the owner of Coventry,” he said as he was unveiled today as the Terrier’s fifth manager in as many years.
“I absolutely wish them all the best, they work their socks off and as I’ve said before that club needs support from Coventry City Council.
“That led to a decision to want to speak with Huddersfield and that’s how the decision has been arrived at.”
When pressed about the nature of the assurances he wanted from Coventry, Robins added: “I won’t go into specific detail.
“There are well-documented things about what’s happening down at Coventry. It is a magnificent club. Potentially huge.
“But it needs support to build revenue streams and help from the council.” Robins added: “It’s been the most difficult professional decision I’ve ever had to make, but I feel it’s absolutely the right decision.”
One "Right" by no means makes up for the multitudes of "Wrongs" and the biggest wrong they made was by moving my team out of the City boundaries.(If or when) it ever happens again will be the final insult to all CCFC fans, even though some will follow like lost sheep.
Well we certainly received support from the Council Mr Robins.
Do the council do life support machines?!
Amazing that CET can take the same story and print it as a new one every day! He is still waiting for the same assurances as he was last week... so until he has signed he hasn't received them
As for some of the laughable reader comments, "I seriously hope that there are no clauses inserted which allow him to jump ship as soon as a club in a higher league comes calling." Yeah... it's called a fucking contract. Not worth the paper it is written on if the person who signs it wants out...
It's the word expected that worries me. Hopefully it won't be but will wait and see.
We should have a bookies going on here. I want to put £5 down that he won't sign today.
kg82....Do youself a favour mate, try having a go at other posts that have f**k all to do with Mowbray eh! My post has everything to do with Mowbray and my Football team.
The hard I truth is having watched the Crewe game with Mowbray in charge, the squad is nowhere up to the standard required to actually compete at the right end of the table and so if all this is true this early appointment will give him plenty of valuable time to get to work with his hatchet in one hand and his scouts on the other ! I expect us to have a much better keeper, central defence, attacking midfielder and strikeforce come August !!
Bore off ffs.One "Right" by no means makes up for the multitudes of "Wrongs" and the biggest wrong they made was by moving my team out of the City boundaries.(If or when) it ever happens again will be the final insult to all CCFC fans, even though some will follow like lost sheep.
Laughable in what sense? Do you honestly believe that Mowbray isn't wary of SISU and won't insist on having a get out clause if they aren't true to their word? Irrespective of the fact that my day job tends to involve studying contractual obligations and loopholes, have you never played football manager?!
But you just had to have a go at mine eh? I see now! but like I said mate...My post had everything to do with Mowbray and CCFC whereas the 3 posts AFTER mine didn't?The ones before had all been told, didn't see the point with the ones after as I'd already said.
I would rather "there's been no further update since last week", than the CET spinning last weeks article into a new story that may or may not happen...
But you just had to have a go at mine eh? I see now! but like I said mate...My post had everything to do with Mowbray and CCFC whereas the 3 posts AFTER mine didn't?
Hey..NomarkBore off ffs. As for Mowbray fingers crossed this is the beginning of the rise to the top. I know it's unlikely, but we live in hope.

Hey..Nomark........Your surname isn't Labotwat is it? I see you haven't read my post from last week then? You must have read it..you know..the one about some that will forgive SISU anything?...Yes, if Mowbray signs it's a step in the right direction for the fans, but SISU have got 7.5 years worth of backtracking steps to satisfy me and thousands upon thousands of other CCFC fans.....Oh yes ....Bore off yourself ....whatever that means.
@ fernandopartridge....... You don't(Make me laugh) you Self Righteous window licker.
