Micheal Carrick’s Backroom Coaching Staff?

Gimme Leo and Grant on his team. But I have sneaky suspicion it's going to be Colin Sausages and his estranged wife Dr. Jennifer H. Sandwiches.
 
Carrick cant have much of a character or backbone if he cant start a football job without two failed old boy ex managers to hold his hand - in any case Neil Critchley is the man he should be looking at to assist him, and he is available now.

sounds a little 'precious' does michael.

Not really how it works. A number one wants his own number two; Wilder wanted Knill, would Wilder have joined without him? Probably not. Same with Warnock and Blackwell...

He'd be showing less of a character/backbone if he asked for his preferred team, Gibson said no, and he just rolled over and said "Okay I'll have Leo if you want me to"

The idea that Gibson is trying to force a backroom staff onto a new manager is laughable.
 
not really - its a personality trait, i know a few people who are precious.

same as i know some people who are Bold, some Timid and some Wreckless.

its all part of life.
You know these people so can make a judgement.

Making a judgement on Carrick who you don't know and an assumption about the backroom situation shows another personality trait - arrogance perhaps.
 
Former Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen is reportedly ‘expected’ to join Middlesbrough. The Dutchman along with ex-Hull City manager Mike Phelan is poised to move to the Riverside Stadium to form Michael Carrick’s backroom staff..

One deal is signed sealed and deliver with another yet to be done..
 
ive seen Gibsons backbone many a time - proper Steel.

its not about having a backroom team forced on him - its being so precious that he cant turn up till someone else does.


im gonna love bumping this thread :ROFLMAO:
101 reasons why he isn’t starting until the Preston game. Imagine him just sat at home enjoying retirement with his wife and kids in Cheshire then Gibbo gets on the blower..

MICKY LOVE, GRAB YER PENS! I’M GONNA NEED YOU TO COME IN FOR A JOB INTERVIEW!!!

I'm very excited about phelan joining. He always wears shorts. He then sits next to the manager who wears a suit. The manager tucks his legs under him, while phelan stretches his legs out. If a camera then looks at the bench side on it appears that phelans naked and hairy legs belong to the besuited manager, echoing the infamous Bryan Robson photo. This is the sort of thing I find funny. Doesn't matter how many times I see it.
 
The more I read his autobiography the more I realise how important it is for him to get his people around him for support. Hopefully it will be sorted soon.
