I can't remember the last time they broke a story that no one else had picked up on first, whether that's itkers or the national papers. Only one I can really think of in recent times was the nmecha deal. The point I was making is more that they probably are first to the information but that doesn't mean they get to publish it when they get it. Which from the outside looking in looks about the same, if not worse, to everyone else. Other papers still have sources and means to retrieve that information, they just don't have to wait for the OK from Chief Editor Gibson. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Weird to hear something from Gibson again .. He hasn't been caught much on camera speaking, after that infamous Smash The League comment 😉 I believe Woodgate's era was the lowest we will ever get and from now on, we can somehow get better in all areas on and off the pitch! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) And on the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53568836 Sounds like he's hit the ground running, according to Steve Gibson: "He said he was going to take a week off down in Cornwall and switch his phone off - and I wish he had, because he's been on the phone to me every 10 minutes."

Lord_Moose 387 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 So this is a quote from the article on the MFC website - "The veteran manager already has a record a record eight promotion successes as a manager and will be targeting another on Teesside" Does that mean the club is actively targeting promotion this season? After the one we've just had? I get it could also be PR spin to sell tickets but you can make statements like that and heighten expectations to then flake on it. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/neil-warnock-to-continue-as-boro-boss Link to post Share on other sites

Much like the smash the league babies who cried in to their pints. But the target is promotion every season, hopefully this one has better financial backing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We need players and I’ll be doing my best over the next few weeks to get the right ones,” he said. “Neil Bausor is helping as well, we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet really in terms of improving the squad. There might have to be sales as well but you don’t know what’s around the corner regarding that. “It’s important that it’s a lot more structured squad than it has been and there are more options, especially defensive wise. “We’re trying to change the squad around, and we need a bit of luck because you need the new lads to settle quickly. “Some do, some don’t, but some of the players I’m trying to sign have been there and done it all, I want one or two down that spine who can change the mentality.” 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Gibson saying he's getting constant calls from Warnock even while he's on his Cornwall getaway there's no secrets with Warnock he is who he is with Pulis it was always something/someone else to blame why he was failing with Warnock I don't doubt he'll live and breathe Boro for the next year he'll pester every agent and player that's in his sights he'll pester Gibson to the point that I get the feeling us sitting around until deadline day because we're 'patient' somehow wont be happening in the next few months. Promotion was the aim under Monk, the aim under Pulis and will be the aim under Warnock you don't pay the wage bill we pay or keep the players on the books we keep to target anything else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Love the fact he says he's trying to sign players already and those that have been there and done it. Compliment the youth with experience and we might be in for some fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Warnock won't mess around when it comes to getting players, hopefully he can kick our recruitment team's ***. Link to post Share on other sites
