Just all a bit odd isn't it? Why on earth would the referee say that anyway.
Basically "appreciate this might be a highly charged atmosphere, don't worry I plan to let loads of stuff go". How does telling the managers that help in any way shape or form? Wouldn't it just encourage players to be more reckless?
Also hilarious Mowbray seems to think that meant his players were allowed to swear at the ref. As if any ref is going to say that before a match. Feel free to crack on with the abuse lads, I'm reffing this one empathetically. .
Love Mowbray, but he hasn't half come out with some utter nonsense after matches against us over the years.
