I think for me, the main positive about potentially re-hiring of Karanka is that he is a known quantity on and off the pitch and i think there is a lot of PR you can spin to bring the fans back round short term. Gibson and Karanka appear to have remained close and maybe Karanka has learnt through being elsewhere how good it really is at Boro? Also people are very quick to point out how rubbish the football was in the PL under Karanka, but I truly believe the best footballing Boro side i've seen was Karanka's play off final team. We wouldn't need a seismic shift in personnel if Karanka came back. People say never go back to old managers - Eddie Howe worked out alright at Bournemouth! Mate, he had a major meltdown. No thanks.. he was sacked.. If you get sacked for being crap at your job in any other job you would not be welcomed back with open arms Football Management isn't the same as any other job, so i dont think we can make that comparison. I take your point on the meltdown but in my mind, he was the best thing to happen to this football club for some time and that counts for a lot when the stakes are as high as they are in football.

How much do you think Karanka would be on a year (going from his previous wage in the Championship here)?. Additionally, do you know what sort yearly cost we'd be willing to spend on getting a manager here?. Karanka was paid 300k per year last time he was here.. that's quite a difference from £3m a year Pulis!

Here we go!

The only positive was getting something out of Adama. Tbf to Pulis he made us money on a player that looked to be going nowhere 6 months before. The rest, without going into it, were just varying levels of negatives for me and i never wanted or warmed to him.

Rowett's brand of football cannot be described as "exciting" or "attacking" so i dont think he should be in the mix

So who is it?!

Dont you dare apologise!

This is my idea of hell and was what I was told a few months ago was happening, so yes. Could the press release be that Pulis has signed that new 1 year deal your ITK contact told you about? Hurr durr maybe you should stop being childish and drop that now it's no longer funny and you've ran it into the ground? Stop trying to hound me off the forum. I was just asking a fair question. Also i don't want everyone to forget that you are full of ****

It sounds like Becker is happening? Another article by the EG

that something being a Teesside accent

Surely Woodgate is too much of a risk at this point for Gibson? He needs to get this next one right.

Nailed on to happen He could answer all of our prayers. He would certainly resurrect our promotion hopes. This is a lot of pressure on him... you guys are making him out to be the Saviour of the club.

Mourinho and Karanka too.
