Dissapoited, annoyed and embarresed. Some changes need to be made or were not gonna win anything this year.

 

totally wrong tactics by mowbray and yet again the central defence is badly crying out for a commanding figure aswell as player

 

speechless.. might be enough to finish 2nd in spl, but not for europe

 

* joke the lot of them
and ones got the cheek to demand 19k we could put 11 lads from here on to play for nothing and we would so more heart and dig total disgrace

 

Totally shameful, ive followed Celtic throughout Europe and was even in Bratislava that notorious night but i think ive witnessed one of the worst ever 2nite. Disgraceful performance

 

I try and avoid instant bandwagon jumping posts.

But that was some * embarrassing pish.

Awful.

 

Is this the man to take us forward or even on a straight line

Playing career

[edit]Middlesbrough
Born in nearby Saltburn, he became the club captain when he was 22 years old. The club was in dire straits at the time and had gone into liquidation. Known to the Boro fans as "Mogga", he became a legend in Middlesbrough for being the local lad who led the club from liquidation back to the top flight of English football. Mowbray was the linchpin around which the Middlesbrough team was built for more than a decade. The Middlesbrough club fanzine Fly me to the Moon is named after a famous quote that the then Middlesbrough manager Bruce Rioch said about Mowbray - “If I had to fly to the moon I’d take Tony Mowbray, my captain, with me. He’s a magnificent man”. He was sold to Celtic in 1991 for a fee of £1million.

[edit]Ipswich
He later moved on to Ipswich Town, where he played for five years, becoming the team captain. He scored an equalising goal in the 2000 Division One playoff final victory against Barnsley. Ipswich won the match 4-2 and secured promotion to the FA Premier League. This match was the last of Mowbray's playing career.
[edit]Coaching career

Once his playing career finished he moved into coaching, starting as a first team coach at Ipswich Town. He had a brief spell as caretaker manager of Ipswich, following the sacking of George Burley and prior to the appointment of Joe Royle.[2]
[edit]Hibernian
In May 2004, Mowbray was appointed manager of Hibernian, replacing Bobby Williamson.[3] He gained much acclaim for the job he did, winning the Scottish Football writers' manager of the year award in his first season.[4] Hibs finished in the top four in the SPL in his only two full seasons in charge, which was the first time that Hibs had done this in the top division in consecutive seasons since Eddie Turnbull was manager.
Hibs progressed to the later stages of every domestic cup competition in his tenure and made two appearances in European football. Hibs lost heavily to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the first round of the UEFA Cup and on the away goals rule to OB Odense in the 2006 Intertoto Cup. During mid-2006, Mowbray was interviewed for the vacant managerial position at Ipswich Town, but he rejected their approach.[5] In September 2006 he signed a 12 month rolling deal with Hibs that was due to take effect from July 2007.[6] Just one month later however, Mowbray moved to West Bromwich Albion.
[edit]West Bromwich Albion
In early October 2006, media reports linked him with the vacant managerial position at West Brom. On 10 October, it was confirmed by West Brom that they had asked Hibernian for permission to interview Mowbray, which was granted the following day. On 13 October, West Bromwich Albion announced that they had appointed Mowbray as their new manager.[7]
Mowbray replaced Bryan Robson as Albion manager, and immediately faced the task of returning the Baggies to the Premier League after relegation under Robson the previous season. Although he managed to turn around the club's poor away form, an indifferent run of results at home towards the end of the season meant that Albion finished fourth in The Championship table behind Sunderland, Birmingham City and Derby County, and faced the lottery of the Play-Offs. Despite two famous victories over old rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in the semi finals, Albion lost 1–0 to Derby County in the Wembley final.
As a result, during the close season, Mowbray set about restructuring his squad, moving out several of Robson's players for multi-million pound fees, after press reports of dressing room division.[8] High profile players such as Jason Koumas, Diomansy Kamara and Curtis Davies were sold to Premier League clubs for large fees, in addition to the departures of Paul McShane, Nathan Ellington, Darren Carter and Steve Watson. Mowbray replaced them by signing a total of 14 permanent and loan players in the summer transfer window, making an overall profit in the process. His most expensive signings were Chris Brunt from Sheffield Wednesday for £3 million, Leon Barnett from Luton Town for £2.5 million, and James Morrison from Middlesbrough for £1.5 million.
Despite the large changes in his squad, Mowbray won the Football League Championship Manager of the Month award in September 2007, after Albion gained 13 out of the maximum 15 points and climbed to 2nd in the Division.[9] At the turn of the New Year, Mowbray's young Albion team topped the table, receiving growing plaudits from the media[10] and supporters[11] alike for their attractive brand of attacking one touch passing football, a reflection of Mowbray's staunch footballing philosophy.[12]
Mowbray guided West Brom to the Football League Championship title, meaning promotion to the Premier League and reached the semi-final of the FA Cup. The semi-final, the first to be played at the new Wembley Stadium, pitted West Brom against Portsmouth, the only remaining Premier League team left in the FA Cup. Portsmouth won the match 1-0 with the only goal of the game coming from Kanu. Mowbray won the Championship manager of the month award for April,[13] as well as the League Managers Association manager of the year award.[14]
After a poor 2008-09 season, West Brom were relegated from the Premier League, finishing 20th.
[edit]Celtic
On 8 June 2009 it was reported that Celtic had made an approach to West Bromwich Albion for Mowbray, to replace Gordon Strachan as their manager.[15] A compensation fee of £2 million was agreed, and Celtic declared Mowbray as their new manager on 16 June 2009.[16] He was unveiled as Celtic manager at a press conference on the 17th of June 2009. [17]. His coaching team will be Neil Lennon , Peter Grant, Mark Venus and Stevie Woods. [18] On 12 September 2009 was named as the Coach of the Month of August in the Scottish Premier League[19].
