Except he isn't a novice, he's been first team coach at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
We had spikey, ranting and raving with Warnock and Strachan, didn't get us anywhere. The modern player rarely responds to that kind of management.
Eh, you've just said he's laidback, i.e. not a ranter and raver, now you are saying we should get someone calm not a ranter and raver.......I'm confused.
Maybe someone respected in the game, as an intelligent player that played at the highest level, has a great network of people to lean on, is likeable, and has a massive bank of knowledge that's someone to look upto....inspirational, sounds like your asking for a ranter and raver again.
are we? Lenihan, Mowatt and Howson are the only key players with 200 championship/prem games. Smith and are fringe player that takes it up to 5 players with experience at this level. Our 2 creative outlets have got 136 league starts between them and our 5 strikers have 253 league starts between them and nearly 50 of those games were in the greek league!
We have an inexperienced squad, with an experienced CM and a smattering of defensive experience, the rest are quite raw still.
Carrick is EXTREMELY well thought of in the game.
He's had one of the best footballing educations any player can have, a hard worker, very well respected and has the diplomatic skills to deal with awkward players and the Press.
And he has an unbeaten Managerial Record. Played 3, Won 2, Drawn 1.
It's a good fit for us and him.

We are in serious danger of dropping into League 1 and just look across at Sunderland for how difficult it is to get out of that league - players want to be off....if you drop out of the championship.
Who should we be going for....Carlos corberan, managed successfully in the championship, Wagner (out of a job) another with success and can handle big players. I would even take Dysche in the short term before Carrick even though I hate his football.

And what would people have said if we'd been Norwich or Huddersfield fans prior to Farke or Wagner, or Corboran taking charge. I can hazard a guess the same comments would be being made as they are now.
I'm not saying Carrick, or Edwards, are the right choices. But I'm not sure going for the same guys on the managerial merry go round are worth a go either.
I honestly have no idea. This is where Scott is going to earn his money and we find out if he's worth his job

Woodgate? Murdoch?
Robson was given record amounts of cash and had Anderson and Pickering to support him
McClaren had been number 2 to Fergie for a good few years and again bought Southgate for £6m before the season kicked off
Karanka was given funds to buy and loan Tomlin and Graham soon after he took over, and had been developed at Real Madrid for several years.
I get the feeling to new person is not going to given a lot to spend.

I think he just likes to be professionally outraged. Watch the blood pressure fella, it's not a healthy approach to life to be so angry all the time. We're Boro, sometimes were crap, we can't really influence it, just try and enjoy the ride occasionally.

Neil Warnock's free and has a better track record of promotion than anyone....
What we need is a manager with a track record of never failing to win promotion. They're pretty thin on the ground.
As we all know there are only 2 types of manager out there: complete novices and dinosaurs.
Pay your money and make your choice...

Oh my word.
Really Mr Gibson....I mean really...
Another complete and utter novice. A novice beyond all novices.
Untried, untested and seems a quite laid back and 'vanilla' type character....
This squad needs experience around them. It doesn't need a novice whereby when we suffer 3 possible losses on the bounce someone with acumen & experience is at least able to draw on his experiences and remain calm, focussed and clear headed in pursuing the tactics and team selection to support growing & developing the confidence throughout the team and squad. At team with losses and in need of inspiration need someone they can look upto for the confidence and belief required to lift their game.
A NOVICE CAN'T DO THAT and that's where Boro are at. We have a relatively experienced bunch of players that need firm control and someone who can nurture belief and confidence to produce their best. We obviously need another 1 or 2 leaders on the field as well ASAP (which won't happen until January at the earliest) which makes having an experienced Manager at the helm EVEN MORE IMPORTANT.
I actually cannot beleive we are even talking to Carrick. It just highlights how poorly this club is now run....
I actually despair at my proud club and it's immediate future.
Seriously....another carrick thread....seriously....gibbo....wtf are you playing at

The new person isn’t going to get anything to spend. The club will decide what we spend and on who. Carrick will have a say in the process. If he likes someone he will put it to Scott and Jones. The previous two managers weren’t happy with that and wanted to be calling all of the shots. Carrick, or anyone else, will sign up to that process, and if they don’t then they won’t get the job.
This is the way the club is going to be run going forward, as many other clubs are these days. It allows for continuity and not going through massive squad overhauls every couple of years.

Boro, with their present business model, only really suit a novice manager that knows no other way than recruitment through committee or a foreign coach as this method is more common on the continent

Pulis / Warnock and Wilder.... I'm not sure how the experienced managers have worked out
I mean they were all on top dollar and achieved little.

We've tried every type of manager and they haven't worked. The experienced ones have held their own but not taken us forward. The novices have taken us backwards since Southgate. Who the hell knows what to do?Oh my word.

It feels like we need an 86 type reset again.
Looking back, Mowbray should have been given money.
