Mowbray Confuses me.

Good post & more in the vein of what I was hoping by starting this thread, I really didn't mean to begin another Mowbray slagging-fest.

It's the nonsensical decisions that he has made in this "building a team to win leagues for many seasons" bullshit that he's trying to sell us.

If we listen to what he has to say & then actually analyse it properly, it just doesn't add up.

You make a good point about Fortune, he is a good player & I like him - but if Caldwell wasn't going to sign & Lawell wasn't going to up the offer + McManus being *...surely the biggest summer spending on 1 player in the summer, should be in CD...? Especially if you are building for a succession of succesful title winning seasons.

As I say, he confuses me & he kinda puts the skitters up me lately, with this 4 year nonsensical plan.

 

And two league titles and a last 16 jaunt still wernt enough to convince you.

Strachan hater in his glory.

Admit it you have a personal agenda against wgs and you are defending mowbray because he's a nice guy and used to play or celtic.

 

would you really prefer lee naylor or darren o'dea to braafheid?
would you really prefer samaras to robbie keane?
even n'guemo, would you prefer crosas on the pitch to him?

i understand the desire to see our own and our future playing more but let's be sensible in the here and now

 

aye, all that winning is boring

 

Typical of some narrow-minder supporters.

If we were somehow able to convince Mourinho, Hiddink or Rijkaard to come and manage Celtic, they need to do a fantastic job just to match Strachan's achievements.

Because Strachan wasn't a Celtic man and was honest enough to admit it some supporters weren't prepared to give him a chance, regardless of whatever success he brought.

I'd give me right arm to have him back instead of the current idiot who has no idea and who will lead us on a barren spell similar to the 90's if he's given the chance.

Please Tony, do the honourable thing and leave.

 

Not really the point mate, we sold Fox & brought in Braafheid on loan - where did the Fox money go?

We sold McDonald & brought in Keane on loan, where did the money go & Rasmussen is a better option than Samaras anyway.

N'Guemo is on loan & has stated he wants to stay, we've got a contract with Nancy to buy him at an agreed price. If he's the answer, why don't we sign him. If he's not, why don't we play Crosas or Ki Sung?

If none of these loan players are going to stay, why pay them - if Mowbray is telling us that "he's building a team fot the future & wants consistent quality"...?

It doesn't make sense to say that & then play 4 loanees.

 

My only 'personal agenda' against Gordon Strachan is that the football was * to watch while he was the manager. My gripe with Strachan had * all to do with him not being a 'Celtic man'. Don't accuse me of that. It's a total myth that all the Celtic fans who didn't like Strachan didn't like him because he wasn't a 'Celtic man'. The football was crap and that was my reason. End of.

 

Yes it actually was boring. That's why attendances at Parkhead were plummeting even though the team was top of the league.

Or didn't you notice?

 

good post!

 

So have you seen something we haven't in terms of great football from mowbrays team?

 

No it's certainly not the finished product under Mowbray yet. Although I do think the football has been a bit easier on the eye this season than it was under Strachan even though the results have been poor.

Given time there is no question in my mind that the entertainment value will rocket under Mowbray compared to how it was under Strachan. When Mowbray was Hibs manager he had that team playing great fast attacking football so my way of thinking is....if he could do that with the squad he had at Hibs he can do even more with the resources he'll get at Celtic.

I fully admit though that he hasn't produced a team capable of consistently playing entertaining football YET.

 

Lets all be honest. Barnes never got the support that Mowbray is getting. Christ, Strachan never got the support Mowbray is getting. Strachan got less support than Macari and Brady from most of you. I wish the wee man was still in charge instead of this muppet. What's the attraction. He's a Celtic man? From what I hear from Strachan nowadays so is he. Always talk about "we". A lot of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Mowbray is talking about building for the future. What with? A bunch of on loan players. What happens when they disappear in May?
Mowbray's a nice guy. Do you think Strachan would have put up with all these anti-Celtic decisions this year? He was hauled up a few times. Compare him now to the present incumbent who sits through a game with his arms folded.
The guy is a numpty, for all he's a nice guy. Having said that I wouldn't mind if Strachan was my mate. Funny wee guy and got it right up the press and SFA.

 

Nothing was said in that post about winning matches witch is worrying, you also are supporting him when we aint winning

Mate * entertainment, I want to win the league being entertained dosen't just mean good football, means winning football that should be mowbrays first priority not great football.

 

Drivel.

Away and look at the facts of what those 3 managers spent. If you still have the same opinion after you've done that then I can't help you. :bbpd:

 

Mowbray has had more money than anybody - Fact :bbpd:
And he has still * it up against the wall .

In addition to this, the fact is Mowbray's West Brom won the Championship with the lowest points tally in something like 30 years, and with a 55% win ratio.

This season he has played 27 games in the SPL winning 15. Guess what the win percentage is. Yes, 55.5%. A stat which, when managing Celtic in this league with is, quite frankly, is a disgrace.

ossie ardiles and gary megson both got west brom promoted too. megson did it twice (2002 and 2004).

i think we can all agree that getting west brom into the top flight did not instantly render ossie ardiles and gary megson great managers.

appointing a man who had just finished 20th out of 20 in england was always going to end in tears. :bbpd:

 

Explain to me how exactly Mowbray has had more money to spend than John Barnes had?

 

I get the feeling that Mowbray is just saying what he thinks we want to hear just now.

 

i cant agree with you more,I'm totally at a loss to were we are going with

mowbray​

,i really cant see us becoming any kind of force but becoming a farce under his leadership and the scary thing is we cannot afford to get rid of him,if the Huns thought they had problems,watch what this * dim * does to our club,we as a support are already divided over his management skills or lack of that is.
the longer this goes on the sooner our reputation and stature will come to mean nothing in the world of football.
if you think

I'm​

exaggerating look at what has happened to Portsmouth in 2 seasons.
i hope for the best but fear the worst is coming.

sorry for being a glum

*​

but its how i feel.

hail hail

 

its just 1 excuse after another with the man.i dont think we can afford to risk another season with him.

 

totally agree with you they buried us when we had no money with there 9inarow,we should be going for that mount of titles just now if this board had spent when we were in a position of strength.missed the boat and now blue noses are right back in it,only way we can get back in it is we stick together and buy up all our season books,get a good solid manager in and give him good funds to buy a bit of qualityin
