It’s Cattermole

[Moreno]

How many managers are former players?

Southgate, Mowbray, Woodgate and then if true, Cattermole.

 

[newyddion]

no.1 true then Rob?

That’s what it sounds like doesn’t it!

 

[newyddion]

Southgate, Mowbray, Woodgate and then if true, Cattermole.

I mean out of all managers ever..

 

[Moreno]

I mean out of all managers ever..

And I meant former Boro players as managers

 

[BobendBert]

We might as well all pack up and go home if this is true. The problem is though that it could be. If that’s not damning of Givbo’s decision making to date I don’t know what is. We all know he is capable of making a ridiculous decision like this and then trying to sell it to the fans. It would be ludicrous but he’s got form.

This would make even less sense than the Woodgate appointment. At least Woodgate had some experience working as an assistant coach, under Agnew and Pulis.

If true, I wonder if this will be announced before the game. If the atmosphere wasn't going to be flat anyway, this news will stick a pin right in it!

And I meant former Boro players as managers

There have been more than that.

Andy Aitken
Stan Anderson
Harold Shepherdson (as caretaker)
Bobby Murdoch
Willie Maddren
Bryan Robson
Gareth Southgate
Jonathan Woodgate

And I meant former Boro players as managers

Like Brian Clough? Nigel Pearson?

 

[TeaCider]

I can't remember ever feeling this disillusioned with the football club if this is true.

It's like Gibson is willingly walking us in to disaster with a third time's the charm effort of putting somebody totally underqualified in charge.

What assistant or managerial experience did Bryan Robson have?

 

[Yearbyred]

I read the title in the same style as “ it’s Numberwang!”

Although Numberwang made more sense.

Bryan Robson count?

Sort of?

 

[TeaCider]

Bryan Robson count?

Sort of?

Not sure how he slipped my count, especially given his iconic signing photo.
I suppose it's a bit different with him given he was both, but he did debut as a player in his debut as a manager.

 

[BobendBert]

What assistant or managerial experience did Bryan Robson have?

Money could mask the lack of experience and money meant we could take advantage of his name. Now we don’t have that sort of money. We need a proper manager and coach. Cattermole would be a joke.

 

[Caesium137]

What assistant or managerial experience did Bryan Robson have?

Yep, Cattermole and England's Captain Fantastic are exactly the same, same career, same experience, same level of coaching, same standing in world football with the same contacts in the game etc. And Gibson still has the deepest pockets in the league to bankroll all the players that Cattermole's international standing will attract.............

Cattermole is closer to Woodgate than Robson FFS, surely anyone can see that?

 

[Caesium137]

Not sure how he slipped my count, especially given his iconic signing photo.
I suppose it's a bit different with him given he was both.

What is the age difference between Catermole and Howson out of interest?

 

[TeaCider]

What is the age difference between Catermole and Howson out of interest?

Cattermole is a few months older than Howson.

Born 21st of March 1988 compared to 21st of May 1988.

 

[Caesium137]

Cattermole is a few months older than Howson.

21st of March 1988 compared to 21st of May 1998.

Assumed it would be close.

 

[Stocko]

Money could mask the lack of experience and money meant we could take advantage of his name. Now we don’t have that sort of money. We need a proper manager and coach. Cattermole would be a joke.

Ah right, I remember Bryan Robson being introduced as new Boro manager, I must have forgotten about the multi millions of pounds he was promised to spend on new players.
What is the next managers budget?
