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...

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'...
Having given Wicky serious thought, I'm ruling him out on the basis that he's styling himself to look like Morrissey...
@lenmasterman Unfortunately, online reporting has been reduced to providing content clicks for advertising and as Powmill said earlier the 24 hours...
@lenmasterman Thanks Len, I actually clicked on a Gazette (Teesside Live) link purporting club chairman Steve Gibson explaining why he could re-app...
@pedro It may well be that the strongest candidates will be attracted by our 2nd-place position and there's always a danger that a couple of defeat...
@pedro It does sound from that article that the club are unlikely to appoint someone before Boro return to action against Oxford - which is quickly...
More worryingly, there's gathering momentum in the media for Steven Gerrard - unfortunately it all seems to be based on what's best for Steven Gerrard...
@exmil I did think about Danks but Bayern are having a great season - not sure he'd want to swap the Glamour of a big club and Champions League for...
I still think the new head coach could be literally anyone as there's not really any sense of where the club are going in terms of who they will recru...
@paulinboro Why would Hackney even contemplate a move to Wolves if he wanted to play in the PL - it would only be for 3 months anyway!
@k-p-in-spain I'm prepared to give Carrick a pass for failing to turn Silvera, Burgzorg, Whittaker plus Iheanacho into a potent attacking force &#x...
