Just finish on, you mentioned a lot of debate on social media, you know, and seeing chatter of
00:06
this podium, we've got a lot of questions and we'll answer them when we come to it, but it's
00:09
Tony Mo, maybe Tony Mo isn't the right man for Albion, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all this
00:14
and that. I just, I sat there reading stuff like that on Sunday and I was just like, I just couldn't
00:18
believe what I was kind of, was kind of reading. And I wanted to go back, I was, I was lucky to be
00:27
researching for a few articles last week or the week before. And I found an article of fan
00:31
reactions from Tony Mo's first few months in charge in 2006, which was very much of a similar
00:39
cone to a lot of the social media chatter after the defeat to Norwich on Saturday,
00:45
where fans were, you know, very early in his first reign saying, is he the man for the job?
00:51
Maybe they've made the wrong appointment, this, that and the other, which for me is an absolute
00:56
ridiculous statement and even more ridiculous when you consider he's out, I think, is it 12
01:00
games in charge? 12 games in charge, I think it's four wins, four defeats, four draws.
01:06
So although not set in a wheel of the light, it's certainly not horrendous, but the fact that people
01:13
are saying this, I just, we've got a question about it and it's just, I think it's the lack
01:20
of patience of some supporters. You know, I always, I always hesitate to criticise fans
01:28
for views because they, you know, they pay the money, they go through the gate, you know,
01:31
they can say what they want. But I just think the notion that you think that Mowbray might
01:34
not be the man for Albion after such little time back in charge, I think is a little bit ridiculous.
01:40
You know, if you look back, I've mentioned there about some of the criticism he had
01:44
after a few months in charge in his first, in his first year, some people could say arguably
01:49
failed because he had probably the best squad in the division. They finished fourth, I think,
01:53
and they lost in the playoff final of a side that was littered with Premier League quality.
01:57
They sold a lot of them players in that summer, recruited really well,
02:01
went on to, you know, maybe not blitz the championship, but won the league.
