Good signing

Agreed. Carrick is a much bigger name in football than Rob Edwards. I’m not saying he is a better manager, time will tell, but I think the fact that he was a very well respected player for both Man U and England, elevates his pulling power above that of Edwards. In the same way that Bryan Robson attracted the likes of Juninho and Ravanelli.

He’s managed in league 2 though. He may turn out to be a great Boro manager, but he certainly doesn’t have Carrick’s pedigree.

I’ve often thought that maybe it’s a shared user name. One that several people in KM’s household have access to.

I think I have the same one. The tune is very soothing and I do like my tv set to tell me when the washing is finished! You almost certainly won’t get those features for a mere £300.

Let’s face it, promotion may not be possible this season. The odds are long…24 teams and only 3 of those can go up. It’s not the craziest assumption is it? I really think that us as fans have to accept that times have changed. Hopefully we’ll have a decent season, sign a few players, see some entertaining football and enjoy some good wins. Anything beyond that is a massive bonus.

If these prices are right it’s going to be a tough choice for some of the young fans. Who would have thought that we’d get to the point where a football shirt costs more than a gram of Peruvian nose candy? Tough choices indeed.

If you want, I’ll give you another…we finish 7th this season. Your’e welcome.

That’s an incredibly enlightened way of looking at things mate. It’s something I’ve often thought, but never said as I’ve never suffered in the way that you have. We all have to live within our own heads, and to a certain extent, we have to live within societal norms, I hope you are finding life easier. I always enjoy reading your posts.

I must be misremembering, I thought Danks was bought in a couple of weeks later. Even so, it still could be the case.

When the club appointed Karanka, Woodgate and Carrick, they didn’t wait to announce the back room staff. I can only assume that the club are currently in talks with the staff that Edwards wants, before he commits to signing a contract. Maybe the prospective coaches are mulling over whether they want to join the club, I’m sure before Edwards signs, he’d want a guarantee as to whom he’ll be working with. He’d be mad to go in blindly and end up with Woody as his assistant!

They weren’t, it isn’t.

As we used to say, before the party changed their name …I think we’ve caught a Kipper!

Would you be talking about Gbeebies by any chance?

Honestly they can’t, they’d get sacked if they did.
