Introducing Chris Wilder MOTM (Man of the Moment)

[DurhamRed 2,047]

The thing is if Warnock isn't going to get us in the playoffs this season it's pointless him remaining. We better to get a new manager in who will have rest this season to get used to the club, players and create a winning style of play. So we are ready to finally smash the league next season

We will be with Dean Smith or Daniel Farke in charge.

You can't assume that based on what he did with Norwich.

Just another journo looking for something to write about. Pretty stupid article, given no-one actually expects us to get anything today.

I could understand Warnock being sacked for losing a game we're expected to win. But given what we know about the club's intentions, in terms of recruiting his replacement, he's only likely to leave if we end up in a relegation battle.

bet its a draw hahaha

It would be "typical Boro" if we managed not to lose. Not that I expect us to avoid defeat...but stranger things have happened.

Alternatively, if we win a game we were expected to lose whilst losing a game we were expecting to win, you could say it balances it out. I said before, 12 points from 18 between the breaks is a bare minimum for me and ultimately that means the difference between reaching that bare minimum is winning today.

So it's not necessarily that we expect Warnock to win today on the basis of comparing these two sides. Just that comparing the sides we've played since coming back from the last break to us may mean we set him a target of 12 points from 18, and in the games against Brum and Luton, we didn't earn the 3 points required to hit that target. Today is more difficult but it's still better than no chance at all to make that target.

John Terry or could we go Dean Smith if Villa let him go?

[TLF10 4,493]

F**k John Terry. Could not be arsed with that guy.

[TeaCider24 12,631]

I wouldn't be against Dean Smith but I'd sooner Garry Monk came back than have John Terry.

Though I don't think anyone sacked in the near future, like Smith and Farke, will immediately jump in to a new job, so they'll be suggestions for the future rather than the present.

Alex Neil would be my shout the new bloke we brought in from Norwich knows him very well

[Tarmo Kink Army 1,122]

Alex Neil would probably suit our style more as he’s possession and keep the ball on the ground but rumours him being a bully won’t help our team, need someone to unify players and squad 

[RiversideRed 1,216]

- Ryan Lowe
- Neil Critchley
- Michael Reiziger

Should all be on our shortlist.

[SouthernSmoggie 4,242]

Why would Dean Smith join a bottom half Championship side? Okay Villa are on a bad run but they won't go down... He'd only be sacked for not matching the owners ambition. He's a proven PL manager at this point.

Can we even afford him? He'd probably only need to wait a few months for another PL job.

I'd be surprised if Scott knows him that well. He was only at the club a few months before Neil left (who would probably have had more contact with Stuart Webber in any case).
