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...
@martin-bellamy Just for balance, I would also add that all bad managers started somewhere too 😉 It's hard to say whether someone starting in th...
Still no sign of white smoke over Rockliffe - did BBC Five Live go too early or were they fed duff information? I must admit sleeping on the decisio...
@andy-r I think we're thinking along the same lines 😉
@exmil Though you let him off the leash you still have to pick up his mess...
Interesting report from The Sun... Former Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder was sacked by Head of Football Kieran Scott with the 55-year-old not seein...
@exmil I guess the BBC wouldn't make up stories so it must be true - a leap into the unknown that nobody can say if it will go well - now where did...
@pedro The main reason I think Boro need to appoint a head coach by Monday is that this week is only one of two that doesn't include a midweek game...
@exmil I'm not sure if Carrick would be better advised to bring in an assistant with recent Championship experience - I'm not sure if Meulensteen a...
Just on the Crooks hernia issue - I suspect the plan would probably be for him to try and have the op and recovery over the Qatar World Cup break - it...
Not sure when Boro plan to appoint a new head coach but hopefully no later than Monday given the lack of organisation and shape displayed at Mllwall. ...
Well that was a dire game of football in the second half - both sides were rubbish and Boro completely lacking shape and ideas or indeed any sense the...
Boro unfortunate to go into half-time behind in this game after a soft miss-hit deflected free-kick wrong-footed Steffen. On the whole Boro have looke...
Here's an unofficial link if anyone needs one... Millwall v Boro
@exmil You never know with Watmore given his fitness record - looks like a back three with Bola as wing-back - perhaps McNair as left centre-back a...
