Is it possible you were a little hasty in sacking Wilder?

And they would wouldn't they given they were the root cause of the issues behind the scenes at the time.
Alas I think Gibson gave Karanka permission to take that weekend off after discussions between the pair of them.
I still believe to this day if Karanka was here the season after relegation we would have gone straight back up as champions.

I'm a massive AK fan and hope to see
him managing our team again some day, but I disagree with above bit about taking us straight back up, he was building up to losing the plot and he did after the West Ham game where he critzised the fans for not getting behind the team, which is a no no, I read KUMB the West Ham fanazine and they thought AK had gone crazy because they were complimentary to our fans for getting behind the team when we were losing, he needed a time out from Boro -our fans would have been after him after that , for someone who was the business a big wedge of our fans can't stand him and I'm pretty sure if he remained in place it would have become toxic. I'm keeping an eye on Granada this season they are ok, I hope he has success with them and then who knows.
