We needed a Mowbray

[North Cardiff Blue]

An old school experienced Manager would organise, calm them down, and help them build some confidence in themselves and what they are being told.

The players were mostly scared and hiding.

What makes you think that only an old school manager is capable of organising, calming down and building confidence in players? I don't know if you have children, but would you insist on your kids having old school teachers in school as they're the only ones capable of organising, calming down and building confidence in pupils?

Kids are grown up, but was happy for them to have had firm but fair teachers with a bit of respect to educate them, in high school, and primary school, a softer approach while they were young.

I think it would be the best option for this group of players, they look a bit soft to me and lost at times. I look back at how Warnock turned that relegation-threatened team into winners with a few additions and promotion the next season and think we need someone like that to get some belief back. Probably an old-fashioned view but that's how I see the situation.

I think there's a belief that Warnock is a firm ranter, but I also think he's a manager that's on your side and will happily put an arm around players who need it. That is probably more important than being firm.

Exactly someone who can get us out of the mess we are in. :xmasthumbup:

I think Mowbray puts his arms around the players that need that too. He strikes me as firm but fair and would allow players to take the mick, I think we need someone who has picked up a team that is way down in confidence and will go back to basics and make the instructions easy to follow. It almost always starts with making a team solid first them work from there

I'm sure. My point is that such characteristics aren't merely confined to older, experienced people. Not in the slightest. Neither do I think they are generally the best managers of people.

Not so much his age but his experience is why I think he would fit, I also thought Cooper would have been brilliant, but after the last few games and the first six, I'm leaning more towards a Mowbray type.

No more like Mowbray

Is the problem the teachers or the kids? In school it’s definitely the kids, usually the ones whose parents are clueless muppets who should have been sterilised. Not scared of anything these days are they? But like our players….just happy to pick up there 20k a week

Would he still wait and see?

I'd prefer Mowbray but he would be a step in the right direction, if it's not already too late by then.

Surely we’ve learned our lesson and will only go for proven championship managers moving forward.

Though to be fair I suspect they offered others the job and were turned down
