Or how to manage. The ultimate nostalgia appointment. I don't even know if Juninho did coaching qualifications, he was president at Ituano for a while when Doriva was manager, I believe, that seems to be the extent of his football qualifications since retiring from playing. Doriva would at least have experience alongside some nostalgia. Though according to his wiki, whilst he did once manage Sao Paulo, his tenure was shorter than some of his spells elsewhere. Which is truly saying something as he has managed 13 clubs in Brazil in the 5 years between 2014 and 2019. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Last I heard of Juninho, he was national team co-ordinator (whatever that might mean) for Brazil, so probably on decent money and would obviously lack experience with the cultured skilful types we have on our books. Being serious, does that sound like a sort of DoF thing or is it something totally different? Link to post Share on other sites

Like a liaison between the national team and the potential players, something like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 So much negativity on here! Would I prefer some superstar manager with free-flowing football-minded tactics? Obviously yes. But we're in the Championship. And we have Mr Championship himself; Warnock. If this is going to work we need to let him bring in players that suit his brand of football. As long as we do it on the cheap, I'm absolutely fine with this. Personally quite excited to see how the next couple months develop. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'd love us to be looking at Grant (Lincoln) looks a very good player, plays centrally, either as a 10 or deeper, but early in his career played out wide a lot. He seems to be a player that is a bit of a late bloomer, in terms of not getting regular minutes until he was 21/22 (on loan). But since going to Lincoln he's seen regular minutes and is performing very well too. I know he signed a long term deal in Jan 2021, so not sure what kind of fee Lincoln would be looking for. But he'd be a proper good option for a number of positions for us, and would be a very different option to what we have in midfield currently. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Don’t think it’s been mentioned but Millwall are after Lumley. also an unnamed championship team have looked at William Boyle. Big centre back with a few goals in him. Don’t know anything about him and it’s probably not us but hey it’s prewindow Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I mentioned a while back about what would attract players to come to us in comparison to other teams “at our level”. After the good training facilities there weren’t any other suggestions. We need to attract players to play with a vision of excitement and something that will get the riverside bouncing. Would you want to sign for hoofball and a groan filled riverside?? I wish I had the optimism of some of the members thinking that magically we will go against our norm for this transfer window. Expect more “players to drift”, players out of “boro’s budget” and “stalling talks” to be a common theme. Even IF by some mirical you wanted to sign for us, wouldn’t you be on borrowed time whilst Warnock is only here for one more season? Added to that how he’s thrown players like Akpom under the bus, I’ll ask again. What about us as the moment is an attractive option? 🧐 1 Link to post Share on other sites
