@jarkko In theory you’re right that Carrick was replaced by Edwards after the review concluded the team underachieved. There’s still a lot of wor...
@lenmasterman Sounds like a sign of frustration by Steve Gibson at the lack of success at signing a striker if he was behind the Akpom move - still...
@jarkko It would make more sense this season to try and bring through several promising youngsters rather than simply sign budget options who are n...
@pedro I posted last month that a study showed that long-term injured players are more likely to suffer new injuries as their bodies behave differe...
@john-richardson Obviously a late attempted hijack of a deal doesn’t sound like it was planned - probably a sign that recruitment have either misse...
@pedro I wouldn’t be surprised if Azaz is sold in this window if a firm offer materializes in the next 4 weeks - though my problem is how we move on...
@pedro Harley Hunt is only 18 - actually 18 today - so still got time on his side - unusual to be playing first team football at that age.
I’m open to a Akpom return if he’s played in the same way he did when scoring 28 goals - he held the ball really well and brought others into the game...
If anyone can make sense of the headline below then you’ve done better than me… Middlesbrough Could Strike On ‘Remained Low’ Aspect As Push To Hijac...
@k-p-in-spain As long as Boro don’t try to reunite Akpom with Giles - though Akpom was actually only successful when he was played as a number ten ...
@original-fat-bob I knew it wouldn’t be long before one of the PL bottom six clubs came in for Hackney…
Talking of Carrick’s old squad - Boro are apparently in advanced talks to resign Chuba Akpom according to Echo…
@k-p-in-spain Thanks for the assessment KP on what you’ve seen so far in the preseason games - I’ve not seen any of the games so don’t have much to...
@rich-llewelyn-evans Yes all very careless to lose £300m in a year after suddenly finding it - I’m beginning to suspect £640m is the Sunday Times c...
@philip-of-huddersfield It’s already beginning to look a bit tricky with a back three with Lenihan joining Edmundson on the injured list and Rav ba...
@stircrazy Thanks for the match updates - sounds like Boro have become the friendly draw specialists but at least they keep their unbeaten run goin...
I'll miss today's friendly as I'm busy packing and sorting out stuff before we go away tomorrow for a week in the east of Germany - I'll also miss the...
@pedro Interestingly, I just read that there are another couple of people with a reported personal fortune of £640m listed in the latest Sunday Tim...
Just to add to Steve Gibson's apparent increase in wealth from £270m to £640m in just 4 years (2020-2024) - since he didn't appear on the Times Rich L...
@original-fat-bob He's a 24-year old left wing-back and sounds like he's just had a good season - Boro have apparently bid $3m - which seems to be ...
@pedro Yes, it surprised me too as his personal wealth in the Sunday Times Rich List reported by the Gazette in 2020 was £270m, which had risen in ...
@exmil That's an important arrival given Ayling is the only fit right-back at the moment - hope he adds an extra dimension! a centre-forward would ...
@k-p-in-spain I see there's a plan to elect supporters onto a Fan Advisory Board (FAB) who will be consulted on 'key' topics - time for a few on Di...
@paulinboro Owned by the Middlesbrough-born Powell brothers who are ranked as the richest in the north east with a personal fortune of £700m - comp...
@gt Great point! That's something I've never really looked into but yes you're right - League One and Two owners were able to inject unrestricted a...
This article in the Gazette from January may help to explain the sums mentioned in relation to Steve Gibson - £149m of loans converted to equity plus ...
@exmil All a bit of a semantic exercise if Steve Gibson is owed money by MFC, which is owned by the Gibson O'Neill Company - of which Steve Gibson ...
@paulinboro I think it was closer to £150m that he converted from loans into equity - unfortunately under the current regulation and rules, the cos...
@paulinboro I much prefer that accounts summary to the one that actually gets sent to company's house - at least it's possible to follow it without...
@philip-of-huddersfield It could well be aimed at flushing out any PL interest by agreeing a deal with Ipswich but whether it sees any club with in...
