There is no new manager (40 replies)

Remember when Mowbray joined, he told us he had to cancel his holiday to New York? His wife wasn't very happy. She thought he had retired and they were going to spend some time together enjoying their golden years.

She's the reason why there was so much delay in announcing Tony's intentions post season. After his surgery, Mowbray had every intention of returning which is why he was still involved in team selection and tactics until Rowett arrived.

Tony has been discussing new players and player contract extensions. He's even been involved in putting forward possible managers, but all along he wants to return. His wife is the only sticking point.

The ongoing discussions aren't with new managers, they're with Mrs Mowbray.
