    I'd prefer you kept posting, you and everyone who are good enough to share info they've been given. There are posters on here who basically expect it from SG himself or they throw hissy fits. I realise that say - Jacanovic could say on a Wed he's definitely coming and signing Friday, you could share this info then come Friday he changes his mind, that's doesn't mean your info was rubbish but shows how business, human beings and other cogs in the wheel can completely change day to day. I hope you and other people with info keep posting, it's better than reading the "why I don't like

    Reckon teams are looking at the likes of Norwich and Sheff Utd and realising you don't need a 'big rep' name like Bielsa, Slutsky or Pulis to make the grade. Moreso than ever, it's become obvious that getting the best out of your squad is more important than high reputation or big money signings at this level. Clubs like West Brom, Swansea and us have to get it right this time...

    Sense of relief will ultimately be decided on who is appointed out of the names been touted I’d be most happy with Jokanovic and least happy with Woody. Thats not to say I would be unhappy with JW as I believe every manager/player deserves my support and optimism until they give me reason not too

    Are you back at school tomorrow? Play nicely KM. I remember not so long ago a excitable guy who got excited by x-factor and transfer rumours (before he got married and was forced to grow up a bit ?)

    I hope to *** that all your ITKers are wrong and that Stendel gets the job. ? Not that I don't appreciate the info and it being able to be discussed. Absolutely golden to have that on the forum. Just, in this instance, no thanks lads... ?

    I reckon woodgate can do the job and get promotion the players really like him if you look on his instagram they are really supportive for him one thing that stands in his way are his own people us boro fans he needs to try win them over by playing bright attacking football which i think he can.

    No, he stopped posting on here because he has this expectation that as he claims to be ITK then people will accept everything he says as the truth and when they didn't he got the hump about it.

    I'd say to this that for one, a lot of the ITK information provided hasn't been proved true or false because there's zero public knowledge about what's happened barring interest in Jokanovic and Woodgate having been interviewed. But most importantly, like you say, few actually know anything about what's going on. It's rumours and whispers that come out and most the time for most of us, we'll never know what was ever true or not, same probably goes for those that pass on the information on here, pretty sure majority are passing on info from other sources who could be passing it on from oth

    I'm against his appointment for a number of reasons, and I would welcome a challenge to anyone to change my mind. 1- he has 0 managerial experience of a first team in competitive action. I think it's too much of a big risk for my battered and bruised Boro. 2- I have no idea what his philosophy or playing style is. This is then making the decision less appealing as I cant picture a boro squad under him or what formation or what brand of football he will play. With Jokanovic I can. 3- rumours of him failing his coaching badges have now all seem to be forgotten? I'm sorry but a

    Let's not forget that it was the Echo that set the entire Reiziger ball rolling. I don't believe they have any idea at all, just writing rubbish to fill column inches.

    This week could be providing some of the vital building blocks for our season. Be excited to see what happens, as the famous song says, Qué Sera Sera. I won't be overly happy with Woody, but he'll get my backing for sure. Giving the way Gibson was saying we're wanting to build our squad through youth and cheap signings, I'm unsure whether Woodgate will be that man, but I've heard he's popular with the Youth Squad. On a side note, at least this forum allows for good discussion, I post sometimes on FMTTM, but that place is cliquey, and just a bit bitter tbf. Again thank you for the w

    Do you think it's possible that if you know you aren't going to be getting a game even when you're brilliant in training, as Pulis says he has been, that you end up being lackadaisical sometimes? I don't think Pulis is suggesting he's lazy there tbh and certainly not in the way you seem to be suggesting he is. Tavernier never had a decent run of games so you're completely wrong to suggest that he did. At the start of the season he came off the bench 3 times in the first 4 games for 31 mins at Millwall (where he scored), 13 mins at home against Birmingham and 3 mins away at Bristol City.

    Woodgate would pick his own assistant and coaching staff, surely? I was under the impression that a DoF oversaw transfer stuff?

    If as we're being told Kenyon has carried out the second interview, maybe SG has decided an impartial person should have a input into the decision making. Trying to take away any perceived bias.

    My gut instinct says all the names being leaked to people are just to keep the rumour mill going. My guess would be that like AK, Gibson knew who he wanted and has been working on getting it done. I think Woodgate will be assistant manager. i don’t mind Grayson as DoF as before Sunderland he’d done OK.

    @D.Z. The thing is Lurker, SDS or Raf don't goad about stuff, they put it on and let the debate happen. You come on and we appricate the info you have heard but what I don't appricate is the crap you have spouted in the last few posts. That is where you are viewed differently to the other ITK people. Are you a WUM? You wanna be right so you can goad us all who doubted you, it's bad taste for me. If it turns out your info is right then fair enough, just don't be a tool about it.

    Yeah, I didn't mean that the interviews were a smokescreen, just that Gibson went into them with Woodgate in mind, instead of going in with a more open mind. Either way, we'll soon find out. If Woodgate gets the job, he might go on to do well and I really hope he does. On the face of it just seems like a (potential) appointment that lacks ambition and adventure.

    I'm not sure I buy the 'smokescreen' theory, but I definitely buy that Jokanovic is out of our budget. I think we're making a mistake if we go with Woodgate, I'm certain that there are better options in our price range. I really hope if he does get the job, it's because he actually did well in the interview and has a clear plan of what to do with the club, and not just because he's a Teessider and won't cost that much.

    That's why he became a Middlesbrough fan in the first place. He just kept getting Boro updates every time he searched for MFC, and eventually just caved in.

    If it is him then I have serious doubts about where the club is going. I'm sorry but he isn't a manager for me. I could list all sorts of reasons based around experience, character, managers served under, what the club needs, stupid social media posts etc. I can't be bothered. Truly depressing stuff from the club if they appoint Jonathan Woodgate as manager. For the first time in my life I am questioning the competency of people right at the top of the club. Steve Gibson has been a fantastic chairman but an appointment like this sums the club up since the summer we got promoted - extreme

    Without wanting to cause any offence, I don’t think I’m yet to see a bit of ITK information that has turned out to be true. We’ve heard it’s Jokanovic’s, then there was no chance it was Woodgate’s, then it was Grayson's, Arteta was apparently shown around Rockliffe and Gibson was doing interviews with three different candidates despite not evening being in the country and now it’s apparently Woodgate's again. I for one do think it will be Woodgate that gets the job and it will likely be revealed next week but as for people who have accepted its Woodgate based on a few posts, I wouldn’t get so

    Wouldn’t surprise me at all if these other candidates were a smoke screen, will claim that Jokanovic priced himself out of a move. Same way apparently every decent player we have apparently tried to sign has either wanted too much money or has a greedy agent. Woodgate is in no way qualified for this job, yet another job for the boys. We needed a strong appointment this time to undo the mistakes Gibson has made the last few years. In a few years I think we have more chance of being in league 1 than the premier league if this is the level of ambition the club is showing

    Let’s be honest the writing has pretty much been on the wall from the very beginning that Woodgate was getting the managerial job. The season hadn’t even reached its climax yet there were already strong rumours that Woodgate was going to take over from Pulis. It does feel like the Gareth Southgate appointment all over again with the way it has all panned out should it be confirmed.

    Shotton isnt a right back though. Has any manager apart from pulis played him there in his career? Hes a centre back who, apart from a few games at the start of last season, has always looked uncomfortable out there. He was woeful when he came back from injury. And itll only get worse if we try to play him there in a new attacking style. Every good attacking team in any division needs full backs who can do a defensive job but also join in with attacks, shotton isnt our man.
