BearSmog 1,382 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I genuinely think it will be Woodgate no matter what happens. The number of games he’s taken is proper apprentice stuff. With all the kids coming through and the club being on a sound footing I think the time is right to put in place a long term Boro based coaching set up. If he stays I’d expect Leadbitter to go to coach the kids. George may well do as well. We’ve got a lot of folk around the club who get what it means and how it needs to work. I think Gibson might now try to start building consistency rather than throw everything out every time someone leaves. Perhaps that’s too simplistic but I’d like to think we could do something like that. Surely if we get promoted though then Gibson has to at least ask pulis if he wants to stay? Or do you think it was a pre-ordained thing that when TP came in part of his job was to prime Woodgate irrespective of the eventuallities? I personally think part of Pulis'remit to prepare Woody for management. Promotion is obviously the aim and he is more than capable but I don't see it as being a long term appointment. Heir.

ladyspite 381 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Norling, then we will get some proper 5-3-2 :) Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 And this thread is brought to you by ...............tudders. The guy who hates pullis. :) Great answer. The guy that doesn't like pulis but openly admits he will have earned another year if he gets us up. Not quite sure of your argument but ok... Ok sensible answer Depends on pullises brief. If he’s really here to rejig the club. Is seen to be doing a good job and isn’t finished then he should stay next season. If his brief is just promotion then it depends on the players brought in. If he gets the players he wants and fails he should go. If he doesn’t get what he wants and misses out slightly then he gets another go. If we get promotion of course he can have what he wants Link to post Share on other sites
Betamaxman 14 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Karanka. YEAH. Karanka for me too, but I don't think he'd come back, which is pretty GUTTING. Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,442 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Southgate, if we go up and TP goes, Woodgate if we don't make it this year. Think Gareth has unfinished business with the club and it's too soon for Woodgate. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Southgate is a decent shout but I think if he left the England job he'd have offers from bigger clubs. Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 For Southgate to leave the England job and come back to us I think we'd have to be an established Premier League side, which obviously won't be for a few years. Future. Link to post Share on other sites
carltonkid 14 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 if we get promoted I think Tony will stay one more year then Woody to take over if we don't then I expect Woody to take over next season and he will have a solid squad to start his career with. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a really good shout. I would think we would at least offer TP another year if promoted and you're right, the squad left if we don't go up should be a good starting point for woody, especially if some of the loans become permanents.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Has anyone ever confirmed that TP was initially offered an 18 month contract? I thought there was some uncertainty about the length of contract he was offered. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought there was some uncertainty about the length of contract he was offered. Not sure tbh. Just going of what one of the guys mentioned on the transfer thread that this is his last year and he wouldn't be staying after that. Again the club's policy of transparency being as clear as mud again. I can't find anywhere that really knows the length of his contract. Link to post Share on other sites
