@malcolm I console myself with the fact that it sounds too ridiculous to be true - must be just more clickbait musings surely?
@original-fat-bob I read that article with some dread - we escape Steve Bruce only to get son-of-Bruce as a young inexperienced assistant coach to ...
@malcolm The quote for Neil Warnock that stood out for me was... It is a gamble going with a young lad, especially at Championship level. It’s su...
Many thanks OFB for the preview and providing a thorough examination of the failings, continued failings and potential future failings. We still don't...
This from Scott Wilson in the Echo... Middlesbrough's managerial uncertainty has to end now Interestingly, Leo is quoted in the article saying bas...
@john-richardson Just read this morning that Leo expects to be still in charge on Wednesday for the Wigan game - indeed, he apparently said in his ...
@david-in-cumbria As things stand, the most optimism I can muster is that hopefully we can get it together to avoid relegation - it's a long way ab...
A much better second half performance from Boro, which took only them from up from poor to average - not many clear chances created but a couple that ...
Somehow Boro are still in this game thanks to a well-worked goal in injury time goal by Duncan Watmore - in truth it could have been 5-0 if Steffen ha...
Did anyone mention that the wing-back system is not working - nearly 3-0 - could be a long afternoon...
Here's an unofficial link for anyone who needs one... Boro v Rovers Though they'll be watching a comeback now after Rovers scored 😒
Team News... Jones is back on the bench again but Giles starts - so could be Dijksteel as wing-back again and McNair as right centre-back - unless t...
@ken I noticed the coaching ability of Leo was being talked up in some of the local press this morning - I wonder if a win today and another on Wed...
@k-p-in-spain Who knows if anything actually reported by either local journalists and the clickbait merchants elsewhere has any meaning beyond that...
Well without getting too political it seems Boro managers and Conservative PMs appear to being replaced at the same rate. Perhaps it's a symptom where...
Ken, sorry to hear about your health news (though I had to Google PSA) and I'm sure everyone wishes you all the best and hope that your new medication...
@deleriad I agree that now is not the time for a complete novice to be placed in charge of the team - too much can go wrong and then what? I made...
From the Northern Echo... Lee Cattermole new favourite to be manager Though if you read this paragraph in the article then it should really answer...
Many thanks Andy for the Blackburn preview and dragging us away from the protracted/diligent (delete as appropriate) interview process that has become...
You'll be glad to hear that I did wake up and having slept on the idea of Lee Cattermole being placed in charge at Boro, I have concluded that there's...
OK, I'm going to sleep on the idea of Lee Cattermole being the next man in charge at Boro and see how I feel if I wake up...
@pedro I hope they're not using the same process of elimination that identified Woodgate as the standout candidate - in which case I think I may ha...
@original-fat-bob These Chinese whispers are getting out of hand - I heard the recruitment process was turning into whack-a-mole...
@malcolm You've just reminded me why I don't use a photograph of myself as a gravatar 😉
@original-fat-bob Sounds like that old gentle let down of "it's not you it's me" - probably not ideal to start your managerial career after the sea...
@k-p-in-spain To be honest, all these media reports on who's about to be appointed or has been ruled out appears to be nothing more than Chinese wh...
@k-p-in-spain Next week sounds optimistic after reading that article where there's still no shortlist with a dozen candidates being interviewed alo...
Depending on which media outlet you read or listen to, then Michael Carrick is either "closing in" on the Boro job or "will hold talks today" over the...
@original-fat-bob At least some positives over Michael Carrick - good man-manager, good communicator and good at telling midfielders how they shoul...
@andy-r I suspect Chris Wilder will be in another job soon and perhaps Alan Knill would wager his own future is better tied to his partner than ris...
