Oh sorry, I thought everyone on here knew?

You need to get with the hush puppies, they know everything!

Well I know I woke this morning so it must be right.

As I’ve said on several posts now, he’s not my first choice and I’m a bit surprised we’ve ended up here after almost a month of looking but it makes sense.

Our first choice didn’t want the job, and whilst Brunt and Damia have done a decent job following CC’s blueprint the former doesn’t want the job long term and the latter is a stats man with a laptop regardless of his playing experience.

Mowbray is an experienced hand, with a very solid track record of improving teams, steadily building them up the division, integrating youth players and at least trying to play decent football. He also eschews the family values and principles our ownership claim are fundamental.

Our squad need a manager, and I suppose our ownership need someone with some nous and experience and he comes with bag loads of both. I don’t expect miracles, and I imagine we will continue to float around 5th-8th as we see the season out and continue the rebuild. 

I expect it’s an 18 month deal which both parties review in the summer.

I’d rather this than handing a big contract to someone who didn’t have the unanimous backing of our ownership, or who was very much 2rd or 3rd choice.

Welcome back Mogga, let’s hope your second spell is as much fun as the first.

Bang on for me too

An interesting view but, a lot of the above, paragraphs 3-5, could have applied to Steve Bruce.

We should not be giving him an 18 month contract, the end of the season is fine bearing in mind his health

For every  Hodgson there has been a Saunders, Gould, Little, Smith, Pardew, Bruce. We do far better with young managers with something to prove

Disagree.  There will be clauses regarding any occurrence of his illness.  An 18-month contract is the minimum that we should offer to a proven manager at this level.

His health isn't a reason to offer him a shitty contract other than, potentially, to net off the additional cost of the ill health insurance that you'd take out with any contract of this nature.
