I have heard this too!!!

If it were ever to happen we would need a proper defence coach, someone like Big Dave possibly.
Mind you some say his football aint been pretty to watch at the Boro

I'd be worried the organisational side of our game that's been worked hard on would go out the window. I love Mowbray when he was here an was hurt the way he left us but if it happened I'd back him

As like lewisant said, I too was really hurt when he jumped ship, especially after going so much on about philosophy and loyalty etc but he did give us some of the most exciting football to watch.

Though after the last year with Roy, I'll take the mid table 'boring' football as long as we stay up and sustain some stability.

26/1 to 1 with some bookies.

Might be worth a cheeky £5.

Personally i think its going to be Hughtons job.

Football is fascinating at times.

Tony Mowbray would take us backwards, would be a poor appointment.

According to today's Brum mail we are closely monitoring the situation at Norwich so Lambert is a likely candidate.

I would hope Mowbray has learned valuable lessons since hes been away. While he was here we played some of the best football I've seen at our club.

I always thought he would be a superb manager when working with better players. I can see him returning one day but I dont think now is the right time.

boing_boing68 · « **Reply #1307 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:31:02 AM »

Oh dear, please not Mowbray the bloke is a myth, how people can say he played good football in the premiership is beyond me, good football is winning football

VANDERLEI · « **Reply #1308 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:42:59 AM »

Mowbray would be a suicidal appointment.

tuamigos · « **Reply #1309 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:47:10 AM »

Cant see Mowbray happening, I'd imagine JP was as wounded as the rest of us when he went.

bigbadjohn · « **Reply #1310 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:49:24 AM »

Peace doesnt strike my as the type to go back and give someone another chance , so i would be shocked if Mowbray come back.

standaman · « **Reply #1311 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:58:28 AM »

Mowbray probably no.

I am not sure that Peace was entirely happy with the way he jumped ship after he had stuck with him through what was a pretty dire campaign. I just had a quick look at 'Boro's results and their problem was a lack of goals there were not too many 4-3 or 2-3 scorelines which littered his reign at the Hawthorns, he might have learnt a valuable lesson given that his philosophy cost him his "dream" job at Celtic.

I am generally not one for taking managers back for a second chance and in this case I think we have moved on quite a bit since Mowbray was here so not for me.

I think it is nonesense-why not have RDM back if we are going down that road.

I hate Mowbray

Completly agree, would be undoing all the hard defensive organisation that roys done, i want hughton now.

lewisant · « **Reply #1315 on:** May 15, 2012, 11:45:48 AM »

I would just like us to push on this week and try to get something done, rumours are Kenny is gone from Liverpool and people say us, liverpool and villa will be looking down different avenues for replacements but it makes the likes of Ranieri, Martinez even slimmer than they already are to join us. Also there's the knock on affects of who they take, if Rogers, Lambert, Martinez were to go to Liverpool / Villa we'd then be competing with Wigan/Swansea/Norwich for a new coach and they will be going down similar avenues as us.

IMO we should fast track Hughton in and anybody else we want to talk to get it done soon!

For god's sake dont go down the road of having ex-managers back. Look what happened when Giles and Atkinson came back for the second time. It dont work

tuamigos · « **Reply #1317 on:** May 15, 2012, 12:08:19 PM »

Dont know why everyone's panicing, the wheels are most likely in motion for whoever we are going to get.

Albion79 · « **Reply #1318 on:** May 15, 2012, 12:46:27 PM »

Ranieri has apparently been in talks with a few clubs but has said that he has met with the owners of Fiorentina and offered his services and that would be his ideal job if offered it.

I think he is playing a clever game of just letting everybody know he is available, our sunday league manager has stepped down so may see if Ranieri fancies that, he wants every other job!

standaman · « **Reply #1319 on:** May 15, 2012, 12:55:58 PM »

I think the Ranieri link was very tentative. Fiorentina is a much more likely destination or even Villa.

Di Matteo was asked in his press conference about him going back to West Brom as manager, his reply -

In my life i once went back with an ex girlfriend....... it didnt work out!

Think its fair to say he wont be returning!

Mister AT · « **Reply #1322 on:** May 15, 2012, 02:23:33 PM »

I cant see Mowbray or Di Matteo coming back and personally i dont want them back.

Thats nothing against them as managers, but I feel both have moved on.

I think people forget Mowbray was leaving us at the end of that season whether it was to Celtic or not,things between him and JP weren't at all well and it was rumoured at the time JP wanted to sack TM around February if i remember but got talked out of it.Certainly Venus wanted out anyway.Total non starter for me.

baggyjon · « **Reply #1324 on:** May 15, 2012, 03:26:39 PM »

JP/DA have known Roy was leaving for some time now (and in my opinion long before it was officially announced) and we all know how they work. No knee jerk reactions ... planning, planning planning. If a replacement isn't on its way I would be most surprised. We no longer deal in iffs and butts.
Mowbray would not entertain coming back under JP, if my memory serves me well TM was unhappy and I believe couldn't get out quick enough. RDM comments says it all.
I have a hunch and it is only a hunch that Martinez will be our next manager. I understand that not too long ago he spent time in JP's company. JP was impressed with his intelligence. You never know it could equally be a rabbit out of the hat and not on our radar
