I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere, but Sir Alex might be bored enough by now.

I'd rather have a Megson / Coyle / Freedman trio running the club before that whisky nosed cnut.

The one thing I could see with Malkie is that if we got him our loans from Cardiff being mysteriously recalled overnight

Are there recall clauses? Genuinely don't know.

Keith hill is gartsides choice

Allegedly

I was it was Mike Phelan the day before?

 

Who is today's nailed on new boss?

Tony Mowbray firm favourite now.

 

I don't think I'd mind that to be honest.

 

I've got it in my head he's pretty negative although I've no base to that whatsoever.

Mowbray wasn't really a roaring success at Celtic or Boro

 

I think this is the type of appointment we should expect

 

Be interesting to see if he could get our lot passing and moving I suppose

Every Mowbray team I've seen have knocked it about well. He'll have a job on with our lot though. They have spent the last couple of years learning how to play without the ball! I think he'd do a good job for us.

The whole 'Phil Brown' rumour scares me to death - and it stinks of a Gartside appointment to 'get the fans onside' - just think that we should be setting our sights a little higher than PB !

I thought we had concluded that Gartside and Brown/Philips are not really best buddies.

no, though that's the reason why he's out of work and in the frame - of those who are, the fact his teams go out to play that way makes him seem like someone to take the team in a new direction

 

and if PPG / win percentages are owt to by, even his time at Boro was more of a success than our previous 3 managers

 

he went to Boro when they were struggling and kept them up - so if he can at least do that again with some decent football on the way, I'll be happy

Not Phil Brown, please!!

Got a mate who's a Boro fan, he has no problems with Mowbray at all, said if they lost Karanka, he'd have no problem having him back.

Someone I know who used to work in the club, yesterday said they had heard that Mowbray was high on the list because he took over at Boro when they were in the bottom three in October and took them to mid table safety. Mind this person was also adamant that Steve Bruce was getting the job a while back so perhaps not to be trusted.

 

I wouldn't do cartwheels over Mowbray but then again thinking that he turned Boro round from a similar position is probably a steady pair of hands, is available probably means he ticks some boxes as far as Gartside is concerned. Probably would work with Jimmy Phillips too. Which I suspect might be another condition for any new manager rather than a lot of backroom appointments.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Mowbray's Hibs team played with no fear whatsoever on the attack. Cost a few goals at the other end, but it made for entertaining stuff.
