Tony Mowbray 07:39 - Apr 23 with 2222 views | dixiefrog | I see that Tony Mowbray is now available, might be a good appointment to steady the ship next year, although not sure I personally could stomach his brand of god awful boring football. Whatever we might think, I’m sure our Head of Recruitment will have a strong view. What’s the general view? |  |

I like him and with close to a 40% managers win rate, he’d be miles better than the idiots we’ve had in recent years. |  | |  |

You're right. That would be a vast improvement on what we've had to endure this season. But to gain promotion, a team would need a win rate of around 60%. Last season 40% would of seen us finish around 10th. So no. not good enough if we have genuine promotion ambitions. [Post edited 24 Apr 11:30]

Ian you’re right, but 40% THIS season would have put us mid-table and safety. After such a terrible season, I’m not sure i even want to bounce straight back into the sh1t show that is the Premier League. Give me two or three seasons in a really competitive league, where we fight like bu66ery, have pride in the club and are competitive in every game, that would suit me. |  | |  |

I actually think some of our current players feel the same way. They'd prefer to play in Championship because it's more their level. Nothing worse than being out of your depth & unable to compete which has been the case this season. But the fun does go out of the Championship if your in the lower half, which is where I think this current squad would be. |  | |  |
