Lets put things into perspective here. I think Mowbray­ was a good manager and with enough time and patience­ could have fashioned a very good premiership class team­ however he made alot of mistakes at the albion.

1: ­ His picking of a centre half (Considering he used to be­ one!) is laughable, whoever told him that Meite, Donk,­ Martis or Barnett were premiership standard must have­ been high at the time.

2:He continually left out Cech­ in favour of Robinson,

3:he picked and brought Kim­ yet only discovered Dorrans with 10 games to go.

4: He­ spends 4.25M on an attack minded passer (Valero) then­ asks him to play as a defensive midfielder,

5:he­ plays our left winger at right wing,

6:he lets our­ top scorer go and replaces him with a player that we­ HAD to take as part of the Curtis Davis deal (Moore).­

7: He continually leaves out Roman Bedner even though­ he was our top scoring striker,

8: he picks a forward­ he actually tells the press he doesn't want to be­ there and can't wait to go back to Arsenal.

9: He­ plays a goalkeeper who although clearly a great player­ is lacking in confidence and is desperate for a break­ and doesn't rest him until 2 games to go.

I­ don't think he will be that great a loss, I think­ the philosophy that he has brought can be continued­ with the right appointment.

Looking at things with a­ little sense he was never going to turn down chamions­ league football and title winning excitement when­ compared to life in the Championship. At least he­ didn't walk out and we got a little comp for­ him.

I am sad to see him go but nobody is bigger than­ the club.

Tony, thanks for the memories and good luck­ in scotland, oh and if you want Paul Robinson i'll­ drive him there personally.

I think that the chairman does'nt help the­ situation by letting celtic take him anyway, i­ understand that he does'nt want the club to be in­ debt but these people forget the money the fans pay to­ watch them play,so i suppose with him cutting the squad­ down and no doubt not putting the £2m in the transfer­ kitty it will be interesting to see what happens next­ season,to be honest i dont hold out much hope of an­ immediate return to the premiership. It really winds me­ up when the loyalty goes, Mowbray asked the players to­ be loyal,then what does he do.........Leg it,just goes­ to show,money talks. Next seasons team will be nothing­ like last season,because at the end of the day, we­ nuture any talent we have for other clubs. So watch out­ league 2 we are after players.

Note: For there to be a player exodus, other teams have­ to be interested in your players!

a player exodus could be really serious and sink us. We­ should pull out the stops to keep Mowbray.
i think 3 or­ 4 of the players mentioned here as disposable are­ perfect for the championship and are still young enough­ to grow into premiership players.

Should there be a­ player exodus that is more about the man Mowbray than­ it is the players. The cynics on this page clearly know­ nothing about him or football. brunt may well have been­ played out of position towards the end of last season­ but that gave him scope to cut in and use his shot­ through which he became our leading scorer. From what­ i'd seen of him the previous year he played above­ himself and needs to be commended.

If Mowbs goes.....­ we'll have to act quick to get someone else in and­ the choice will be very interesting indeed. Please do­ not bring back Robbo.

As for Brunt Stuart. A decent player, good left foot.­ BUT Mowbray didnt play him in his strongest position­ for most of the season. Old fashioned winger who whips­ in a decent early left foot cross. Doesnt tend to go­ past players much and sometimes can be slow in helping­ back.

Robbo you may be ambitious but your a championship­ player. Dont fool yourself. As for a player exodus,­ well not a bad thing if its Moore, Meite, Zuiverloon,­ Hoefkens, Beattie, Kim, Robbo and Barnett!

Stuart.... I am not a baggie and you did not ask me the­ question, but if you are asking about Chris Brunt (ex­ Sheff Wed) then yes, he can certainly play a bit.­ Rocket shot and good from dead balls, an above average­ championship quality player

The best thing to come out of this fiasco is that we­ will now get rid of the rubbish like robbo

Alex...R u a baggie...whats the bhoy Brunt like as a­ player?

you might be ambitious but you have not got the skill­ required for the prem
