TeaCider24 12,631 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) 28 minutes ago, LinoJo3 said: Since then we’ve averaged almost 1 new manager per season 8 permanent managers in 11 seasons, including Agnew because it sounded like Gibson wanted him to be permanent. Warnock's either staying on for another season or retiring, so I'd be hesitant to include that in a criticism of Gibson not giving managers time. I do think that people are forgetting the change in circumstances when they criticise Gibson for not giving managers as much time as he used to. Lennie Lawrence was sacked after failing to get Middlesbrough promoted after relegation, I'm sure Bryan Robson would have been sacked too if he'd failed to get us promoted at the first bite. Fortunately he did, but his position became untenable when we were in a second relegation battle and had to bring in help to prevent it. Bar Karanka, every other manager was sacked or parted ways with because of failing to get promotion in the second division and in the case of Woodgate for setting us on a route to potential relegation. Bryan Robson, McClaren and Southgate were given time because we were staying in the top flight, treading water there is different to treading it in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I’m not criticising, I’m just pointing out one of the changes I’ve noticed in the club. I don’t care enough to criticise anymore, I feel gibson is living off past glories with a large portion of the fan base. He’s a good chairman who won’t let the club fold or put us in danger but any ambition he used to have thats long gone. He’s found a formula that keeps us ticking along and is clearly sticking to it. I guess it depends what you want as a fan wether that’s a good thing or not. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree defensively it was not his best game but did well to put in a steady performance defensively after being turned easily for 1st goal. Link to post Share on other sites

A number of this rounds FA cup games are free to watch on the Player including the Brentford-Boro game. They usually only show womens games by the looks of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
