Steve Bruce would, that’s the beauty of it!

If Scott wasn’t here you just know this is what would happen.

Eddie Howe apparently being lined up for Newcastle. That’s him not our next long term manager then 😬

Well outside of our budget he is supposedly still getting £100,000 a week from Bournemouth.

Surprised they're not going after a big-name continental manager.

If thats the case, I can't imagine Howe will be there more than a couple of seasons at most. Once they start looking at Champions League qualification he'll be out the door.

I see Scott going for a foreign manager tbh, mainly because of the german manager coaching badges are harder to get and apparently Scott is most impressed by that, heard it on the Boro breakdown and think it makes sense for us

Progress is my guess.

They need to stay up and make progress up the league. Someone like Conte will probably be interested in a year or two’s time.

The signings will probably be the same as well probably lingaard, Ramsey and Toney to start with before looking for big names.

If we're looking at German managers then I'd like to see Daniel Thioune given a shot. He did really great work at Osnabruck and seems like a good guy. Didn't quite work for him at Hamburg but that's a very stressful and toxic job with a lot of expectation (not that managing Boro wouldn't be). He didn't quite get sacked there either but felt he'd lost the dressing room and was burnt out.

Scott has got one hell of a job on his hands trying to talk Gibson out of going for Steve Bruce 😞

Has Uwe Fuchs got his coaching badges😉

Actually yes, but unfortunately they are for hockey and he is coaching the U-21 field hockey team for Rot-Weiss Köln.

He can state it in very simple terms, if need be:

Every editor, sports pundit and poster from every media platform throws names out there. Of course one may be right, but which one. 😳

I ask myself, why would any manager want the BORO job given its history.

im not going to throw a name or a recomendation out as i,d either risk being ridiculed or being proven wrong. the brutal truth is that other than the big 6 or whatever you like to call them, pretty much every other team in the english league system has no need or no reason to conduct a masterplan in order to find a perfect fit for themselves when searching for a new manager. im firmly convinced that in our position and level  its basically like finding a jigsaw piece that fits neatly. if and when it happens that we appoint a new messiah it will probably be by complete chance rather than rational thinking. its the same with players to a degree. sometimes a perfect managerial appointment happens by complete chance, theres plenty of instances which im quite certain werent pre planned or favourably debated. Jack Charlton , Bryan Robson, and Aitor Karanka are the only ones in my lifetime that weve earmarked and then have worked well. lawrence,neal and mclaren to a lesser extent but not completely welcomed universally by the fanbase at the time. in fact perhaps our most successful appointment ,Bruce Rioch was pretty much a  shot in the dark.

henceforth , my hope for the next manager is a complete unknown ,so i wont have an opinion to sway me prior to him taking over.
