Itâs not just those two matches, but his entire tenure. There are lots of Danes following English football and also the championship. I canât count the amount of times where Iâve been reminded that boro has become one of the ânothing clubsâ That just try to blend in with the boring wallpaper by hiring ancient relics like Pulis and Warnock. Some of the older heads feel sorry for boro fans as they remember the teams with goals and players like Juninho, Rav, Hassrlbaink, Viduka etc. now weâre just dross mainly exemplified by Pulis and now Warnock. Well if anyone thinks the days of Juninho/Ravanelli/Viduka etc are the norm they are sorely mistaken Iâm afraid. Nothing like that seen before or since, it was simply our golden age.  itâs been a 15 year decline since McClaren left, and lots of managers other than Pulis have also done shockingly badly in that time. In fact the best of the bunch, Karanka, didnât exactly leave an impeccable legacy either. So I dunno about Denmark but most other fans in England I speak to barely remember Pulis even managing us. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

People will point to the fact he got the best out of Adama, the reality is that getting the best out of him should have catapulted us to winning the league, rather than just scraping the Playoffs then going out without as much as a whimper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 i really hope this is his final season with us for a coupple of reasons really. the first being Warnock himself and his demenour, football philosophy and the type of players he likes to get in. but the bigger reason is also the one bright light i can see as a way out of the malaise weve succumbed to , and that is the upcoming Kiran Scott project. im genuinely excited to see how it developes and much as it pains me to say, Brunners hit the nail on the head with his two posts earlier in the thread about how promising a step forward this is and also his one worry and that is that Gibbo doesnt meddle. the mainquestions in my mind is will Scott have any input as to the new manager that replaces Warnock ? a few years ago if i was asked which 3 managers would i least like to see at boro my answer would have been Pulis,Warnock and Allerdyce , i and many others have had to grin and bear two of those in recent times and the idea of what Scott,s appointment may lead us in a totally happier direction from what weve had to endure watching fills me with optomism akin to pre Robson days. regarding Warnock , i was dismayed that we got ourselves lumbered with him at the outset especially having endured pulisball so recenntly but Woodgate was the disaster everone bar Gibson feared he would be and we needed rescuing , mass credit to Warnock for steering us out of the tidal wave to div1 that JW  had sucked us into. i wasnt too traumatised by the thought of NW  remaing in charge this season but at the back end of last campaign he began to drop right back down in my estimation . Completely bearing in mind the thought process of Scott,s involvement and what is hoped may ensue from his input Warnock ,in no way should be associated next season and maybe EVEN post january if we can bring in a more suitable manager to fit with the players Scott and his team have earmarked. ......just not Allerdyce pleeze Link to post Share on other sites

My time goes back to Stan Anderson which predates the low of 1986 by a considerable amount so I know only too well the highs and lows of supporting Boro. I don't think anyone on here believes that we are "owed" anything either by Football in general of MFC in particular. Calling out poor decisions from the top and poor decisions from successive Managers and in particular Pulis is just that. Â 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly don't think that loss v Villa somehow left a 'legacy' at the club as suggested above, we've had way worse results over this last 15 years 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Essuuaitch 330 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Im not necessarily advocating sacking him, i was more going down the line of bringing someone more suitable to work alongside the plans of our recruitment philosophy and sen as very probably Scott will have influenced a few january incomings ,that would seem as good as any time to move onwards with a different manager to suit. the best scenario would see Warnock stepping aside by his own decision. or retiring gracefully from the game.

I agree but I think that will definitely happen next summer. He will stay beyond January if we're doing well though, at least to see if he can get us up. Link to post Share on other sites

The best scenario would obviously be for him to get us promoted and we hire a more progressive manager and actually put up a fight in the Prem without playing hide n seek like last time.

Humpty 3,260 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Whatever happens, the transition into next season is going to be disjointed. Warnock wonât be here, weâll have a new manager and a new âphilosophyâ under the new HOF. Whether thatâs in the Championship (more likely) or the Premier League. Iâm looking beyond Warnock now. As a matter of interest, do any other clubs specifically have a âHead of Footballâ and do we know what their role entails? At the HOF. Can get his feet under the table this season, I just hope heâs not here purely for recruitment alone. That would be a little bit half arsed for me, albeit still a step in the right direction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
