    Stewart Downing as Boro manager?

    If you’ve ever listened to him, summarising his career on podcasts or in the media, you quickly realise that his mindset and personality really held him back. It’s also these elements that mean, unless he has a fairly significant revision, he’s very unlikely to become a successful manager.

    The enigma of Isaiah Jones

    I don’t think there is any enigma. He’s been brilliant. One of the players of the season and in his first senior year. Any dip in form is well within the norms for any player and he’s still been effective in that time. Wait until next season when he has a full, senior pre-season and has had time...

    Teesside to Amsterdam flights

    Even as passenger numbers dropped at Teesside, the Amsterdam flight was great, in terms of value, connectivity and flight times. We’ve spent £110m of tax payer money, given a big chunk of it to the private sector and actually lost the single decent flight we had. See similar for Aberdeen -...

    Is Middlesbrough falling behind other places on Teesside and North East?

    It’s really sad. The place is like a ghost town in all honesty. There is one big company left in Boho One but they’re transitioning to a partial or majority work from home model. As you say, a lot have gone under. I’m sick of being told how Middlesbrough and Teesside is booming. It just isn’t...

    Is Middlesbrough falling behind other places on Teesside and North East?

    I don’t think anyone saying how well the digital sector is doing has actually looked at some of the Boho buildings and who is in them. They’re at a. All time low in terms of businesses in there - especially the flagship, Boho One. The town, and region has been mismanaged. Look past the press...

    Djed Spence..

    Jones, who isn’t a full back, is better at full back than Spence, who is. Glad to see Spence doing well but he only ever looked like inconsistent potential with us. Couple of good games but often a liability at full back. Jones, in comparison, has been one of the best players in the league this...

    Will Middlesbrough become a City in 2022?

    I’m not sure city status does bring in any extra investment. Are there any mechanisms for this or is it based on positive publicity and private investment deciding to put down roots here? In terms of the state of things in Boro, it’s at the lowest point I’ve ever seen. Shopping wise it’s lost...

    Most disapponting Boro Signings XI in the Premier League era

    That lad we signed the last time we were in the Prem. Wore cycling shorts and ran about like he'd won a competition.
