Now playing in the Armenian league!! Massive bullet dodged there. Even Carrick might have struggled to polish that particular turd!!Yaya Sanogo fromToulouse was first choice , which took ages to fall through due to Boro thinking do we risk it on the medical results or do we leave it. Luckily we left it.
What did you expect ? Most of those signings were loans, free transfers and short term deals where Neil was trying to plug gaps ...Bolasie, Kebano, NML, etc.etcOut of the 23 signings(including 7 loans)whilst he was here, from what I can see only 3 players are still here and by the sounds of it one of them(Akpom) he didn't want and belittled him in front of the squad, the other doesn't seem fancied by the club and will most probably be moved on(Payero). Crooks is the other one that is left from the Warnock era.
His final transfer window was summer 2021 so in less than 2 years we have moved on 13/16 players that where brought in while he was in charge.
This x 100unfathomable that people idolise Warnock, bloke was a pillock
I didn't expect anything, neither did I give an opinion on it. I just stated facts and statistics. I also mentioned that 7 of the 23 players where loans.What did you expect ?

There you go then, no wonder most have moved on. Crooks Wat more and Chuba were great permanent signings by NeilI didn't expect anything, neither did I give an opinion on it. I just stated facts and statistics. I also mentioned that 7 of the 23 players where loans.
What I find interesting is that Karanka behaved in exactly the same way with a lot of our players (if you listen to podcasts with ex-players etc), yet some still talk about him as though he was a club legend of sorts.unfathomable that people idolise Warnock, bloke was a pillock
Nmecha and Gestede starting up front after 3 months of thinking about it deserved to get him the sack, bloke was/is clueless!But I honestly think that we wouldn't have gone down even if we'd stuck with Woody.
Some players do, I agree. But good managers know which players they are.Yoos lot never heard of reverse psychology, some players respond to that sort of banter....
Neil = Genius
Thanks
Neil is well known as being the best man manager in the business kidSome players do, I agree. But good managers know which players they are.
Chuba clearly wasn't one of them.
And now that we know Chuba's character a little bit better since then, it should have been obvious to a skilled man manager. Or even an average man manager. Or to a fellow human being.
