Only if he hasn't been fully consulted - we don't know but he might have resigned.

Goes without saying really. We're a club. Both Rowett (if announced) and TM are part of the club. I just think there should be a big show of support for TM at home. It doesn't detract from anything else.

I think bringing in Rowett is disrespectful to Mowbray

Not bringing him in is disrespectful to the fans and the club. Just lie down and accept relegation? No effing chance. They need to fight like dogs and keep clean sheets.

I think his wife may have convinced him health comes above football - and she is right. To be a championship manager takes lots of energy. He is 60 now with a health issue.

There's been speculation from day 1 it is serious and unexpected not routine, if it is I don't know why we didn't simply agree a settlement and part company cleanly on day 1.

We all love Tony and would be great for him to come back but having the pressure of management in the background can't be in any way good for him, and it isn't good for us.

Can we stop this speculation on his illness and what his wife is saying.
It really doesn’t seem right to me

Agreed.

Just repeating what is being said elsewhere and on social media. The club have opened the door to this with their handling of the situation.

All speculation could be avoided if they dealt with the situation properly on day 1

They did.

They asked for privacy on behalf of Mowbray, and you should respect that. Especially on a public messageboard.

You're now speculating on what was known on 'day 1'. You don't have enough information to know whether it was handled properly or not.

The only person whose nose is being put out of joint is Venus, the deputy who's being told he's not good enough to deputise.

We just don't know that either.

For all we know Venus may have asked for help.

No-one knows.

Many are saying on this forum this is no slight on Venus or Mowbray actually. I disagree, I think it is a slight on Venus and Mowbray but we at least agree on 50%

Its no shame on him either tbf. If he had wanted to be a manager I'm sure he would have done so years ago.

People commenting about Venus is like judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree, irrelevant at best

It's also just plain weird

If Rowett is appointed I don't think Mowbray has a future with us. It may be TMs decision..who knows.
