BoRovers 2 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/i-never-wanted-to-leave-the-players-and-i-needed-each-other-jxdsvhmlg?shareToken=ad50fe4818a1f611291443cabbc0ede1 Worthy of it's own thread i think. Quite an insightful interview with the main man. He still seems very happy to be part of Boro. Long may it continue! Link to post Share on other sites
BoRovers 2 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 There's also an article about Fischer. The Times seem to be loving the Boro :D It says Karanka see's Fischer as a left wing with license to cut in on his right. I know there'd been much discussion around where he will play so i guess that answers that question. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bergkamp-esque-prodigy-has-a-point-to-prove-at-middlesbrough-z58scntr3?shareToken=e75b8aa7944556d414c2f457a55985a6 Link to post Share on other sites
gephind 7 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I was just sent this by a friend. Indeed worthy of its own thread. Touché Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Interesting that it singles out Woodgate, as the main instigator (along with Karanka) of the fallout. From what many of said, more were involved. Glad its kept under wraps though, and hopefully forgiven and forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Fantastic interview. Very honest and candid. Whatbthe guy has done for the town, let alone the club, is massive. In Aitor We Trust! Link to post Share on other sites
BillySastard 3 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Sounds like Woody's got a scouting position at Liverpool now. Problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 With Karanka you really do feel the club is on the verge of something special. Appointing him was the best decision Gibson has made Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I wonder how long it will take fans to forget this kind of thing when we're knee deep in it this season. Some couldn't wait to get shot of him after the scandal post-Rotherham, regardless of who the fault had laid with. He's the best we've had since McClaren left, no doubt about that.

Arskite 75 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I worry about the same, wilson. Some fans are going to have a hard time coming to grips with us losing so many games in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites
bugrit 31 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The FT has an interesting article about managers, under the banner Why star Premier League managers matter less than ever Here's a quote from it: The public fascination with managers reflects not their power but their potential as characters. The Premier League is a soap opera that needs compelling characters. Players cannot fulfil that role: most entered high-level football so young and with such complete focus that they have nothing interesting to say, and if they do, their clubs stop them saying it. The club’s voice is therefore the manager at the post-match press conference, explaining why his team won (his brilliant tactics) or lost (the referee). :D Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you should cut and paste the whole subject. Link to post Share on other sites
