Just found out from his Wiki:

"Mowbray was relieved of his Celtic duties as of the 25th of March 2010 with Neil Lennon taking temporary charge until the end of the season. It is being speculated that he is going to be hired by NASA as a new guinea-pig for the radiation exposure experiments. He was chosen for that job because of his striking resemblance to a primate and the fact that nobody would pity him anyway."

I'm kinda 50/50 on this.

The fella just irks me in a certain way.

Would be an upgrade on Zola, though, so I wouldn't complain.

If Pardew ever comes near this club again I won't be coming back until he has gone.

... and Greenwood (a former Chelsea player and Arsenal coach) wouldn't have been recruited by us.

One thing about mad dog is he would get 90 mins out of them. They loved him at Brentford, he used to walk out like Ceasar.

Can't be any worse than Roeder...
Can't be any worse than Curbs...
Can't be any worse than Zola....

History repeats itself so fast these days I'm suprised we're not sucked into some black hole style vortex!!

Oh honestly mate. If you think Zola aint got the tactical nouse to manage at this level, you are not seriously suggesting a guy who has only ever managed Brentford and Milton Keynes Dons has are you ? I 've seen some ridiculous posts, but that has to be up there with some of the most ridiculous. If Incey didn't have it, this guy most certainly hasn't. I would rather we had Neil Warnock to him and before I receive the bombardment of abuse for this, ask yourselves just one question ? Do you think he would tolerate the current ineptitude we are experiencing form the players ? No way, he would tell the players in no uncertain terms what will be expected of them and that they had better deliver too. Furthermore, I bet he would get us the required results we need to stay in this league and I for one, would feel a lot more confident about our chances of achieving that right now if he were, and if you are honest with yourselves you know he will too

I wasn't totally against GFZ and I was prepared to give him a chance, but no, I wouldn't want an inexperience foreign manager again, no matter how much of a nice chap he is.

Bilic? No thanks, not until he's got some club experience.
Di Canio? See GFZ comments.
Curbishly? I'd take him back
Pardew? Rather have Curbs
Hughes? Certainly wouldn't say no!

Coppell? Fine by me. Experience and intelligence. Might be the right level of appointment to steady the good ship Boleyn and build momentum towards greater things. Like mid-table safety.... :lol:

Coppell is a much better manager than Hughes.
