@lenmasterman Yes it will require different types of players than we currently have - though if Azaz and Hackney are sold and you take away the loa...
If it is to be Rob Edwards then he does have some good points - he's a good man manager who encourages a good dressing room spirit, relates well with ...
Many thanks OFB, great stuff I really enjoyed that interview - his enthusiasm for his work really came across and sounds like a decent down to earth b...
Alan Nixon (former sports editor of the Sun) is claiming barring any late hitches Rob Edwards is set to become the next Middlesbrough manager. It al...
@exmil That was my thought too - if Edwards gets given the job it would be odd if Boro haven't had permission to speak to Rohl and Cooper has still...
Just been looking at Rob Edwards promotion season with Luton where he joined them during the November international break after Nathan Jones was poach...
I think we have to be realistic in that most managerial appointments are going to be something of a gamble - just like Carrick was or Karanka and anyo...
Just on Danny Rohl apparently on the shortlist of 3 and final interviews expected to be completed in the coming days - surely since he is still employ...
@andy-r I agree with all that and given the choice i'd prefer Danny Rohl too as he seems to have a bit more to him and would perhaps be the closest...
So according to the Echo the next Boro manager will be between Steve Cooper, Danny Rohl and Rob Edwards - with interviews in the coming days and an an...
@pedro Interesting aside about Steven Gerrard's daughter being in a relationship with the son of 'notorius' Belfast gangster Liam Byrne - they rece...
Maybe we’ll get Steven Gerard and John Terry as his assistant as the new Carrick and Woodgate combo 😉
@selwynoz Not sure Rob Edwards is known for his tight defence - Luton conceded 85 in the PL. Yes, I’d also like to see more of our academy player...
@selwynoz I agree that there will be separation between business decisions and football matters - plus the head coach is unlikely to have a veto on...
@gt I hope it was under caution...
@martin-bellamy Since the average tenure of a Championship manager is now less than 2 years, I no longer think that there's such a thing as plannin...
@philip-of-huddersfield I would only say it's the club itself that are expecting a top six finish from their manager and Carrick is just the latest...
There is some urgency in the need to appoint a new head coach as they really need to be in place within 2 weeks to prepare for pre-season and the asse...
@clive-hurren Given a choice between most on the bookies list and Carrick I'd choose Carrick - Danny Röhl is interesting but it should be noted tha...
@martin-bellamy Probably a long shot given spurs qualified for Champions League - sounds like Thomas Franks is their preferred option after several...
Some contradictory reports in the media with suggestions Robbie Keane was not approached by Boro but applied for the post but it didn't go any further...
@clive-hurren It’s all about the narrative these days aided by proxies in the media - the truth is often just an inconvenience to be brushed aside....
Still have no idea how it's been suggested a permanent move for Iheanacho was touted given it was reported by Spanish sports newspaper Marca he was ea...
@jarkko That article by Scott Wilson read like a bit of a hatchet job on Carrick including blaming him for Giles and Iheanacho with the recruitment...
@original-fat-bob I could imagine Carrick getting frustrated if Hackney is to be sold against his wishes as he's probably the player that is the mo...
@lenmasterman Good points well made and I have to agree that why weren't the recruitment team better prepared for the hardly unexpected Latte Lath ...
@original-fat-bob Boro need a manager who can adapt his tactics based on what players he has available and how a particular game is unfolding. Carr...
@andy-r That was a much quicker review than Boro managed and probably reached the same conclusion! Perhaps Carrick was uncomfortable with a model t...
I've started a new thread on the sacking of Michael Carrick as speculation on his successor starts - plus have move the relevant comments to it...
