ManBearPig 2,325 4.2k Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Is it really a bit of a shambles? I’d be more annoyed if we knee jerked and just got someone in rapid without due process of the review The club are taking their time but honestly what’s the rush? 🤣🤣 Id rather take more time getting the right man in than rushing for the sake of having someone in early who is the wrong fit it was unexpected Carrick left and I think we’ve done a good job doing it as quick as we have but I know that’s praising the club which some aren’t fond of 😝 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a straight up no win situation with Boro fans. Wilders sacking was rumoured for ages, undoubtedly they were already negotiating behind the scenes - and their owners apparently wanted rid of Wilder ages ago to replace with their choice. Spurs had one target, costing 10 million quid. Hardly the same situation. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we have to gauge ourselves against other clubs. Du-diligence and all that is important when making an appointment in any business, I don't get this 'we have to do things quickly' mentality from so many people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's quite refreshing and diligent that we've gone through a process. I'm hoping the process has identified and addressed all the issues we've suffered in the past few seasons. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheltBoro 39 41 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 All announcements get drip fed through the Gazette and Echo, it just how the club operate. Be nice for it to be over and fully confirmed but today, tomorrow or next week doesn't matter really we know what's happening and have done for a while.

Tom 3,528 8.9k Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 As long as Edwards knows it's him, and the club know it's him, and they can start whatever planning they need to do, making the announcement to the fans really doesn't matter. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there'd be criticism it was knee jerk if we did a Shef Utd. I get some are feeling negative about Boro as a whole and want to jump on every opportunity. But if we are ever going to get anywhere then we need to get back to some positive unity. Some say that starts with Gibson. I think it starts with us. First job is going to be to get behind Edwards. Second get behind the team at the first game. Nobody enjoys going to a half empty, flat stadium... And re hiring speed, If you look at the tfr mkt, not much going on re any quality. Scott still at the club so anything that we may be interested in but is happening with another interested party we'd still intervene to prevent missing out on top targets. I believe we will be in a good place come August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsoncgp 10,215 20k Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 27 minutes ago, RiseAgainst said: Re the argument about Carrick's signings being publicly criticised - that's because Giles and Nacho were dreadful. There's hope for SIJ and Whittaker under a manager who can actually manage, but Giles and Nacho? Forget about it. Giles was absolutely superb for us at the start and is still only 25. I don't know what's going on with the lad but for me, I think what he's lost is his momentum. He needs to properly settle. He went to Luton and Doughty was better. He went to Hull which is a basket case and never seemed to want to be there. And he came back to us in the short term but Carrick seemed to hope he'd have an immediate impact on the back of the worst 18 months of his career, he gave up on him 5 minutes in. If someone can grab hold of that potential and put it on the right path, I believe there's a player there. I don't think this is the right place for him but in the right team with the right manager, that lad will show his worth again before his career is done, I'm sure of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any other club, sometimes there's an obvious, pre-meditated replacement strategy, sometimes a bit more of a process is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
