Mogga Permission Granted

Post by **Dazza** » Thu May 18, 2006 12:41 pm

Hibernian are reported to have agreed to allow the Blues to speak to Tony Mowbray regarding the Town manager's job. The Blues requested permission to talk their former skipper and coach earlier today.

Although this puts Mowbray firmly in the driving seat to replace Joe Royle, Town are likely to make similar requests regarding other managers still in contract and conduct interviews with some of the 40 applicants for the job.

Fellow Championship side Hull City are reportedly interested in Mowbray taking over from the departing Peter Taylor at the KC Stadium, while the former Celtic man has been strongly linked with a return to Middlesbrough where he is considered a legend after his spell there in the 1980s.

Best news i've heard all season! I think he's exactly what we need, a manager with something to prove, who's hungry for success and is eager to impress. Mogga has proved at Hibs he can build a team of youngsters with the right blend of experienced players. He knows the club, the staff and some of the players so the transition shouldn't be too bad.

The quicker we appoint someone the better, i do feel we are missing out on any deals on the transfer market and with sheepy saying that he's in no rush and is happy to wait till the players return for pre season, in my eyes thats too late!!

Have to agree with you all on this ....it concerns me that Town will fart arse around tto long in getting their man in ..and we will (as usual

)...miss the boat in getting some decent players in on Bosmans !!

on the sibject of manager Im really not sure who would be the best man for the job though....we may be limited to what we "can afford" - which may mean we will not nessecarily get he "best man" for the job.

Mogga is most people's fav...but he's been stuck in the Scottish league (not sure how much relevent experience this will be for getting us promoted out of the Fizzy league ) ...then ther's Parkinson...done a great job for Col Utd..and will be used to working on minimal funds..but again has had little experience of the Fizzy league.

Curbs is my personal fav ...but probably way out of our financial league !...on the topic of "compensation" ...why would we have to pay Col U any ...since Parkinson has yet to sign a new deal with them (is this right ?) ...and why would we even need their permissionto speak to him ?

Well I'll be completely satisfied if we get Mogga, considering our realistics options. The only question I have, is if he's good enough for us now...why wasn't he 3 and a half years ago???

Because he never had the 3 1.2 years experience he has now got??
