Yeah I have been in a dressing room where a manager has punched a player twice in the face at half time and then at full time player punched the gaffer. Very weird 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs' abilities to pay big transfer fees is certainly diminished. They may see that as a way of hanging on to valued players (keeping valuations high). Of course, if they want to offload players, they will likely sell them very cheaply, or let them go for free. Given that funds are going to be in short supply across all the leagues (except the PL) I wouldn't be surprised if many clubs are pretty inactive in the transfer market. Unless they're like Boro and have a bunch of high earners leaving for free, as well as journeymen players they want to get rid of. Selling cheaply means they won't have much to spend on new players - unless their owners are willing to pour new money into the club. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It's all good and well giving a bollocking too but they still didn't get anything out of the game. I hope he doesn't come into half-time with us losing 2-0 and tell our team not to bother trying to win the game. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I was more thinking they might be higher quality players available in our price range. Obviously they will be alot of competition thought Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,982 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 The full quote from Warnock I think is pretty interesting, goes out of his way to confirm he's only here to help. “It just came a little bit out of the blue last night, I got a phone call from Steve Gibson and they asked if I would help, really,” Warnock said, as he made his way to the club’s training ground on Tuesday afternoon. “So that’s what I’m going to do, I’m coming up to try and help the club for a few weeks – just eight games it is. “I’ve spent this morning driving up to meet up at the training ground, I’m meeting the players later on this afternoon. “I’ve always had a lot of respect for Steve, so it was a no-brainer really when he asked me if I could come up and help for the rest of the season.” 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Part of me feels we are getting an older version of Pulis and we aint going to be pretty to watch. Clawing sufficient points to retain status will be the goal and maybe we will be harder to beat. Believe as others that Woody was thrown under the bus but part of me also feels that the players were not behind him and if performances suddenly improve then you do have to ask that question. Why this was not done weeks ago? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

We all agree it wasn't the right appointment but Gibson has made constant mistakes since the Southgate appointment and more blame should be pointed his way. I have no faith in Gibson to make any modern day football decisions, and this just highlights the fact we need a experienced DOF to help make those day to day football decisions. The club is rotten and needs a complete overhaul from bottom to top. Hopefully we survive relegation and then then in the break there is no better opportunity with the out of contract players leaving. That’s what worries me, yes we’ve finally made the change now but god knows who we will end up with for next season if woodgate was the best option last summer. We could just as easily be back to square 1 with another terrible decision. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

God has shown that he is not a fan of Boro for quite sometime I bet, as someone else has already said,🤥 that we get Downing as a player/manager role! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
