Middlesbrough FC new manager odds

[newyddion]

Steve McClaren….wonder if it’s time for our most successful manager to come home? Perhaps Woodgate’s gained some more experience?

I really don’t think the manager name is that important if he (or she) can get a tune out of the squad at his disposal and that includes former academy and so called ‘development’ players.

Woodgate will be better of course.. don’t think the fans would take to him tbh.

 

[allied_assault]

Confidence instilled into our team could make all the difference - we have some very good players here- I still believe that.
The right manager could galvanise that.

 

[newyddion]

No not a wind up, just something I was told. Don’t know if there’s anything in it, but the person who told me works for the accountancy firm the club uses, and said that we’d been sounding Bielsa out.

Interesting!

Interesting!

To be fair I reckon the accountants would be probably the first people we'd consult with if we were considering Bielsa!

"Just how quickly will his appointment bankrupt the club?"

 

[UTB70]

I think we need a 'intelligent' manager who studies the game and knows tactics. Wilder an and warmock were just your british up and at em type. Not sure on edwards he probs equivalent of appointing hignett.

 

[changingman]

I think that's to an extent with Warnock, not so much Wilder.

He was/is responsible for a number of tactical innovations in his career (albeit I think Knill is credited with some of them).

Corberan fits that type of manager, or head coach as he would be called.

Which other football club would think it great allowing a no mark like Kieran Scott to determine football strategy, make all recruitment and retention decisions, appoint the coaches and yet be above criticism and be unaccountable for the standing of the club/team.
It is a joke.
He is the little joker who should be chased. Done nothing in the game, yet is Nero's right hand man.
The Football Club is a laughing stock.

 

[jonny_greenings_sock]

No you are not alone in that but according to the Times on line they are interviewing Edwards and O’Neill this week and “possibly one other” and will make a decision very quickly.

Oh god it’s Shelvey

Mate, have I lie down will you

Can’t see it happening in a million years for a million different reasons, but fair play to us for asking!

I don't need a lie down thanks.

Any ideas who GON has as his lieutenants? Maybe Diggard, Mido and Alliadiare?

O'Neil has been ruled out. The noise from the local journos appears to be that we are waiting for Cooper to get the bullet from Forest. It won't be Edwards in my opinion.

 

[GazBoro]

I wouldn't be surprised if he opts for Nigel Pearson or JFH. Gibson is probably livid at how Wilder has had his head turned, and now wants someone in who knows the club and what it means to be a part of it. Just hope its not O'Neil.

 

[allied_assault]

Cooper would be brilliant - we are in the same position as Forest were last season and therefore fits the mould

Oh **** I’d forgot about Nigel Pearson.

Would be dreadful but feasible.

 

[sadgit]

I heard last night it will be Bamford as player/manager/coach/DoF. He loves the place and wants to come back.

 

[Colin Warnek]

Oh **** I’d forgot about Nigel Pearson.

Would be dreadful but feasible.

A) he’s in a job
B) he’s above us

I'm always confused about the term laughing stock. Who is laughing? Not Boro fans, and not fans of other clubs as they don't have any interest.

(by the way i agree that Scott has not delivered any of the targets that you would assosiate with his remit)
