Tony Mowbray [threads merged]

Why dont you read my post before trying to be a comedian

 

I did.


Its been a * season so far but you can see what he's doing. He building a squad that will win titles for years to come not pluggin holes for instant success. If people cant see that then they need there head checked.

 

well, yes he's had 2 windows now to identify this problem and brought in 1 who's unfit and 2 teenagers.

 

I have to laugh at the person who started this thread and all the others who are blaming all the Celtic fans that wanted rid of Strachan.

That's like me becoming the manager of Celtic to replace Mowbray, and me obviously being such a worse manager that everyone would then say, ''Why the * did we get rid of Mowbray?'

It's simply a case of Strachan being the best out the bad bunch.

There are more managers in the world than Strachan and Mowbray.

If we put out the money and got a proven manager with a good track record, then there more than likely wouldnt be discussions like this now.

 

Nicely put. I'd go further though...

We've now got the manager that the Celtic support deserves. Strachan becomes the first manager since Stein to win 3 in a row, the first manager to get us into the CL last 16 (twice), the first manager in 20 years to beat the huns in a Cup Final, and only loses the league on the last day despite being forced to work under tremendous financial constraints. The team went backwards because the board shat a brick in January, we were 7 points ahead remember. A 14/17 point swing in just over a year thanks to our new manager, who seems to have forgotten that both teams are allowed to go forward in football.

Strachan loved being the Celtic boss and would still be there if the fans had cut him any slack, but noooooooo, the board allowed him to go to appease the fuckwits and bigots among the fans. Well done guys, you now have a 'Celtic' man in charge and he is * hopeless.

 

I see what hes trying to do ok. but honest mate i dont believe he has shown any tactics at all. i cant see a formation.. i cant see any players playing in position.. the last few games ive seen the midfield has been non existent. I know what your saying he needs time and what not but i just cant see where its going.

 

I agree, if you give a manager time we will see the best results, there is abosultely no use in getting rid of a manager half way through a season where he has brought in his own players and not once had everyone fit and in his first 11.
Acting like Spoiled brats seems the right phrase if u ask me !

Mowbray spotted problems in the team that we had all seen and got rid of the no users in the team. We were missing chances left right and center. HE FIXED THIS ! We are an awesome force going forward ! He tried to get center backs in during the window to take over from the defenders we have, which we can clearly see are not good enough ! The deals didnt come off. I have no doubt if we had got st ledger or ramis along with hooiveld we wouldnt be losing 4 goals at pittodrie !

If you cant see progress in our team your blind !

We get a set back 4 that start playing together regularly who are mowbrays back 4 then u have the right to say hes not the right manager.

Point is, he has brought in attacking players and they have all been immense so far, defensivley we have had injuries and braafheid having a bad day yesterday, but think we know he is a good player.

I have no doubt we can go to ibrox and hammer that mob AS LONG as we have hooiveld and loovens playing and not an inexperienced thomson and a useless odea.

 

There is questions there no doubt mate but I'm going give him more than 7/8 months to answer them. I'm giving him until next christmas and if it hasnt improved then threads like this are needed but not at this time. I think a manager needs 3 transfer windows to show what hes about.

 

It's Celtic fans like you that put up with this unacceptable management of Celtic that prevent Desmond and the like from coughing up more than a few pence on a decent manager and players.

Calling other Celtic fans ''Spoiled Brats'' cause they now realise that things are not going to get much better due to a lackluster manager?

I might give you the title of, 'In denial Celtic fan' if that's so.

 

but he's not fixed anything. we are still suffering from the exact same failings as last year.same * different personel

 

and are you talking about the same loovens who was bullied out of the last game at ibrox by kenny miller

 

Hes playing a formation....a very attacking one....however we dont have the defensive players to cope coz we are playing thomson, odea and caddis who are NOT GOOD ENOUGH ! But that aint mowbrays fault that there is injuries !!!!!!!!!!

Defo spoilt brat ! What the * is mowbray supposed to do about braafheid making that inexcusable handball and turning the game !!

You are the type who will change ur tune if we go to ibrox and hammer them ! No faith = not a real celtic fan !

Mowbray has us playing exciting attacking football, unfortunatley for him the defenders ( who he does not want to play but has no choice) have let him down !

 

i think jim traynor and hugh keevins are on a disguise mission on here

 

I totally see where your coming from. We can sack Mowbray now and bring in somebody else and then if they have a * 6 months and then we can sack them and then if they dont work we cant just sack them and we can just keep doing that until we find somebody good. That always work for club . We could do it like on a 6 game basis or something.

 

Would you call Gordon Strachan a failure as a Middlesbrough manager then? No you wouldn't because Strachan hasn't had enough time at Middlesbrough to make that kind of sweeping statement yet. Yet you're happy to slag Tony Mowbray and use words like disgrace when talking about his management of Celtic. We have an injury ravaged defence and all the new signings that have been made are going to take a bit of time to gel together. Coming up with this kind of negative ranting every time we have a bad result is pointless. We are now scoring goals freely which we were not a couple of months ago so we have made some real progress in that area. The defence still needs sorting but it will improve once Hinkel, Loovens and Hooiveld are back in the team.

I for one am not missing Strachan and his pish boring style of football one little bit and I never will. I am glad he's gone and will always be glad he's gone.

 

Whether you like it or not hes the most experienced center back we have ! If u know ur stuff u know mowbray tried to replace him in January but the deals fell through !

But u just keep blaming mowbray for defenders like odea and loovens letting us down

 

This 'building for the future' looks a total myth to me.

Building for the future does not mean having 4 loan signings in the starting 11. It means young guys who will be here for years.



It's not his signings that have been bad, it's purely the tactics and substutitions, which are at best ludicrious.

 

Of course not. I agree there is no point in sacking Mowbray at this point in the season, however at the end of the season? Yes.

And why don't we cough up a little more money to bring in a known competent manager with a decent record to match. Maybe someone better with a record a little more convincing that Mowbrays?

And until then, are we just meant to say ''Yayyyy Mowbray, you can do it, we will become a decent team eventually''

When the fact is, most of us can see he dosent have the talent or the potential to be a Celtic manager.

If we voice the latter, will we be labeled spoiled brats then?

 

4 loans, 3 of which can easily become permanent signings (Not Keane though)

His subsitutions yesterday:

at 2-2 brings on Ki and Rasmussen - Whats the problem there???

4-2 rests keane for samaras who is taller and can win balls in the area if mulgrew starts swing more balls in from set peices. - Whats wrong with that?

Our defence sucks, we need hinkel loovens and hooiveld fit, just as much as rangers need weir bougherra and papac

 

Oh the deals fell through for at least one decent defender.

That makes it OK then?

If Mowbray was a decent manager he would have seen that Loovens and the rest are nowhere near good enough and would have raised * until he got a competent centre back.
