His philosophy is to have two quality players for each position we have about 4 quality players full stop. We simply do not have the funds to let him operate the way he did when he was here last And we would have to buy him new toys after he threw all the last ones out of the pram 🙃 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson is so predictable.  What’s the legal case against Ayala? Refusing to play before his contract ended? Seems Boro don’t have make a meal out of players leaving - lots of issues over the years. Even Schwartzer said the other week he was disappointed just to receive a typed letter of goodbye and thanks after 10 years at the club! Breach of contract. It appears that he was trying it on back in January, never mind this summer. Still, he was willing to play the games before the end of June, if it wasn't for that pesky injury rearing it's head again of course 🙄 I'm not entirely sure how correct this is but I think he tried to leave in January and we wouldn't let him. Then he was injured for ever. I believe that there was a suggestion he was trying to leave on a free transfer as well to somewhere abroad but I'm not sure about that one. Maybe other people know more about it than I do? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

By the end of the month? Is there any update on Johnson? It's a massive rebuild this summer but one that is quite exciting.

Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Not happy with Warnock for same reasons I've said before. Very excited to see the likes of Gunter and Danny Graham joining the club for one last payday as we grind out next season for a 10th place finish. Happy days. Feels like weve just missed a huge chance to rebuild in a more positive manner. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Very much on the fence with Warnock i would probably have preferred somebody else but given what he has done so far I suppose you have to offer him it if he's willing to stay. He has a good record at this level so at least I think he offers a bit of security on that front. However its a very short term outlook given his age. The question is how much can you back somebody who is likely to only be able to offer up to 2 years. But then again I currently don't have faith in the club making a good long term appointment. Link to post Share on other sites

We're back playing football on 12th September. That's not a lot of time for a new coach to get to grips with the squad and turn things around. Been cucked a little by the entire pandemic situation I think. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 How much time have our most recent managers had? Monk, Pulis and Woodgate 2.5 seasons between them? Strachan and Mowbray 3 seasons in total? Im not that worried if he can only do a couple of seasons. We need to hit the ground running with signings and a clear plan to get the team playing to their strengths. I think Warnock is the best option really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) It's 7 weeks until the season starts probably 3 weeks until pre season begins that's an incredibly tight schedule so it was always going to be the best move to hand it to Warnock he's already rolling on targets/recruitment he said he'd love to have new players in before pre season so he might be off grid for the next week but the timeframe is very tight here and a huge rebuild is in order would be madness to delay this past the next week with all that in mind it had to be Warnock plus he has a 50% win ratio with us you can't ignore that if your Gibson. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Very happy with Warnock. I want results. Couldn’t give a toss how we get them personally. Think he will have us challenging for play offs, if backed in the transfer window. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Not too bothered about fry and mcnair, both replaceable, Spence be dissapointed to see go but if he has any sense he'd stay and develop for another year. Feels good to be interested again as 90% of last season I was just expecting to be turned over every game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,957 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 With the most lopsided squad I can remember in a long time and a consistently shot shy team Warnock managed a 50% win record and took 12 points from 8 games. That's not far off the heralded 2pts a game. And If nothing else his press interview will be fun. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
