Apparently the G-AI-zette are running story (by Keiran King, a former sports writer at the Mirror) that claims Hellberg also want to bring 36-year old...

So no sign of Hellberg yet - I guess the work visa is taking time. I googled how long it takes for the Home Office to process applications and it say ...

Cheers Powmill - I never lost a preview under Edwards but will Adi Viveash give me my first win...

@pedro Many thanks Pedro - though probably not as funny as our top six COTS Challenge predictions 😉

Many thanks Powmill for the COTS challenge update - I actually only just noticed it after being absorbed by the search for a new manager and writing m...

@rich-llewelyn-evans I agree with much of that and yes it's a gamble based on Hellberg's record in Sweden - as we saw with Southampton. they brough...

@jarkko Thanks Jarkko - Scandinavians and Boro seem to fit perfectly together 🙂

@k-p-in-spain Thanks KP - though I'm not sure how it would read after the EG had run it through their AI machine - we'd probably have Morrissey as ...

@stircrazy I think as long as he doesn't arrive in a small boat he should be ok...

@clive-hurren Thanks Clive and I always enjoy you previews you write them really well - for me once I get going the ideas just flow but it's the fi...

A big thanks to everyone for their very generous comments and glad you enjoyed reading it as much as I had fun writing it - especially as we enter a r...

So finally a local journalist with club connections has spoken on the move for Hellberg - Scott Wilson suggests it's a ‘Kieran Scott call’ rather than...

@rich-llewelyn-evans It's even worse in that this is an updated article that is now purporting to be written by someone new called Stephen Killen w...

@powmillnaemore You have to laugh! We're now in a world where AI starts dissing other AI produced information - don't get me started on Grokipedia ...

There's a quite bizarre article on Teesside Live written by somebody called Amie Wilson which includes the following paragraph... Adi Viveash is tak...

@exmil Yes but all the sources for these reports are from various Swedish media reports - it could be true but they could also also just be initial...

@powmillnaemore Since Selini is only 32 and with Hellberg being 37 - with neither have any experience of England - then I think Viveash will be ver...

Well he may well become Boro manager and not a bad record to finish second in the Swedish first tier in two-successive seasons - sounds like he must k...

I should point out that the Swedish football season has just concluded as it runs from March to early November (possibly something to do with the weat...

Is that THE Kim Hellberg of Harmmaby? Absolutely no idea who he is and if the stories are true then it's quite a gamble to appoint a 37-year old fo...

@lenmasterman I don't think it's big problem these days to be given the 'head coach' title instead of 'manager' as most clubs have restructured tha...

btw David Wagner only recently became head of youth development at RB Leipzig where Jurgen Klopp is head of global soccer at Red Bull - so maybe unlik...

@k-p-in-spain Not a bad shout given the options and another manager who was sacked by Young Boys for not winning the title - though he does have Ju...

@pedro Yes that lack of recent managerial employment of Solskjaer does seem to be a problem after only lasting 6 months at Besiktas - The Champions...

@pedro Interestingly, Young Boys sacked Wicky in early March 2024 after three successive defeats saw their lead in the Swiss Super League drop to j...

Just as an aside... talking of artificial intelligence, I just read this exchange this morning on Airforce One as Trump talked to reporters about spec...

@eboroacum In terms of Rob Edwards deciding to leave Boro maybe: 'I don't owe you anything'...
