Duvel 2,446 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The Gazette are reporting that Agnew is the man going forward, this feels like the club is starting a downward descent again. Steve Gibson's heart is in the right place but he needs help in making decisions like this, where is the evidence that Agnew is going to be a successful manager? It sounds like he's getting the job because he's a good bloke. The last time we did this Southgate took us down and we stayed there for a long time. Be prepared for Championship football and 15k crowds again Steve. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I can't help but feel that it's a mistake to stick with Agnew. I'll back him and what we saw today was better but it just feels like we're going with another Southgate style appointment :( Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm wondering what is going through Steve Gibsons head, he moves heaven and earth to get us promoted and then doesn't seem to want to stay in the premier league when we get here. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'll hope Agnew can get us the results needed but if he's in charge the start of next season, I'll be very disappointed, because I'd like to think we're a big enough thinking club to get a quality manager in.

Duvel 2,446 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 He be sacked in October when we are in the bottom half of the Championship. Gibson will probably bring in someone like Pearson then. This is like Groundhog Day :( Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think the problem at the Boro is we sometimes act and think like a championship club, that's the problem. We don't seem to learn from past mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites

Ayresome7 187 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Steve Agnew: Middlesbrough caretaker manager wants job on permanent basis Boro owner Steve Gibson said before the Premier League match that Agnew could be “the glue to unify us completely”. Asked if staying in charge was what he wanted, Agnew said: “Of course. It’s a club I have a big affection for.” Speaking to BT Sport, he added: “It’s a pleasure to be in charge of the team and see them respond. “I know we’ll take that fighting spirit for the rest of the season.” Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Disappointing. This is Steve Gibson accepting relegation for me. Got no problem with that if he wants to follow the Burnley/West Brom model but its just the fact that we were told we were going to give it a good go this season and we clearly haven't. Why not just give it to an experienced man and if we go down then at least he can say we gave it a good go. Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,350 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Better display than recent weeks but it's easy to raise your game against United with two weeks off after. Let's not be judging Agnew on a solitary performance. Seriously hope we're after someone else long term, even if we do take a decent championship manager in preparation for next year.

Guest Changing Times Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Burnley and West Brom don't have a model any more than anyone else does. Financially it makes no sense whatsoever to accept relegation. This season has been a shambles from the very beginning, well from the summer actually. To think we put the ticket prices up to watch this ***e. Gibson should be embarrassed about what's happened. Link to post Share on other sites
