clubdeckcynic 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The print media's reaction to Mowbray's unveiling is facinating. The headlines seem to be that he will play the 'Celtic Way', which is being aluded to as similar to the style in which Barca won the Champions league, albeit with McGeady playing the Messi role. More interesting is that unlike the previous incumbent, he will forge great relationships with the fans and media alike. I like Mowbray, he seems like a nice guy, but you do get a feeling that if things don't go well, he'll be eaten up and spat out by those lovely people who make a living from the printed word. Results will dictate everything, particularly champions league qualification, and head to heads with Uncle Waldo, who is a bit long in the tooth to care what either the fans or the media think (not unlike Strachan, or indeed Sir Alex). If things don't go his way, then all the understanding and mutual respect towards Tony will quickly evaporate to be replaced with frustration and animosity in the form of a good kicking by those who at the moment are heralding and praising his 'qualities'. Interesting times in the East End. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TannochsideBear 355 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 A couple of replies there that are way over the top IMO. It is obviously what a lot of us are discussing just now with our fellow bears, as the fortunes of the scum under their new manager has just as much effect on our title chances as Walter's tactics. Clearly, this is a free forum where debate and conflicting views are welcome. All are welcome to their views. Perhaps some, who may be pissed off at the amount of scummy talk in here, who see a thread title about the Mowbray Effect, would be better off not opening such thread and see it quickly and quietly disappear down the page into obscurity. It seems to me the worst thing you can do in a thread you dont particularly want to see, is reply to it, thereby bumping it up back to the top. Strange. To answer the OP, I dont read the press so dont know about the reaction, but I can imagine it is gushing with praise for their new head mhuppet. Clearly, if it starts badly, he will be afforded some more time to correct things than say Strachan would have got had he not been miles clear in the league early on. The appointment looks to me to be just like a Macari or Brady from the 90's. Some friendly press guy got thier name into the debate and before you knew it they were manager, despite their suitability for the job. TM's record as a manager is poor, and I am surprised they have went for him. The finances at CP must be worse than we are being led to believe.

TartanTeddy 764 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The media reaction is undoubtedly heavily tainted by the fact he's not Chesney. The ginger whinger was not liked by the fourth estate one little bit, so they were always going to offer a warm welcome. I agree, he's a 'nice guy' and when it goes wrong, that niceness will see him buckle under the pressure, and I think they know that, and I have a sneeking suspicion that Wattie knows that. I'd expect the honeymoon to last a few months though, but poor european results and a loss to us at Ibrox would see the noose tighten - should be fun to watch.

Maybe he will be another Tommy Burns getting them playing good looking football without the results but if he also gets the results then I hope Wattie can rise to the challenge as we played some horrendous stuff last season and the cup final against Falkirk springs to mind right away.

Apparantly, he's looking at Tottenham's Robbie Keane, Aston Villa's Ashley Young and Tottenham's Darren Bent. He is looking forward to having a front line next year that are Young, Keane and Bent.
