Duvel 2,446 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pulis leaving would be great news but Woodgate replacing him wouldn't be an improvement. Hopefully Gibson might see sense and look for a fresh start. Norwich's success will add some weight that a fresh start might be the best approach as they were in the same position as us. We've ran out of parachute payments and look like we're going to need to balance the books. For that reason there's going to be no pressure and very little expectation from the fans next season. It feels like the perfect time to try and build something that will last, even if it takes a few years to build. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Can't even get excited about Pulis leaving if the replacement is Woodgate. Okay its an improvement, but so is being punched in the face instead of being kicked in the balls. Unless I've heard totally wrong, Woodgate is already heavily involved with the team and takes most training sessions. And can't pass his badges. I know some let's say 'intellectually challenged' lads from school who got their coaching badges no problem and work with amateurs. It does beg the question, if he wasn't a local lad would he even be on the shortlist? Only thing that would make this Summer exciting would be a 'man with a plan' like Farke or Jakanovic who could come in and give us a much needed identity to unite the club and fans, plus a coherent strategy in the transfer market. :funny: Love the highlighted bit :funny: Link to post Share on other sites
RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Who is Alan Brazil? Sounds like a pornstar alias :) Perhaps the funniest looking man of all time Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Gibson might see sense and look for a fresh start. If a young manager (Woodgate) taking over from an old experienced manager isn't a fresh start; I don't know what is.

If he has failed his A licence, that means he can't technically become the manager anyway correct? Any proof he's failed? If not you shouldn't be posting such things.

SmogInSheff 66 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 From FMTTM: "Alan Brazil - Pulis Leaving Although obviously nothing official out yet, Alan Brazil has just said that he has talked with Pulis and he will leave at the end of this season, this has always been the case. We will see!" I've just listened to it and his words were "I'm told Tony will be leaving" and "I knew even before the last game" He never said he spoke to TP directly unfortunately. Let's hope whoever told him is correct! Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pulis leaving would be great news but Woodgate replacing him wouldn't be an improvement. Hopefully Gibson might see sense and look for a fresh start. If a young manager (Woodgate) taking over from an old experienced manager isn't a fresh start; I don't know what is. Woodgate and Fleming have been doing a lot of the coaching while pulis was away. Woodgate has zero managerial experience and it seems his main qualification is just being ‘there’ already. Technically it may be a ‘fresh start’ but that doesn’t mean it will be a good one. I honestly can’t see how anyone could look at this possibility in a positive light. I’d rather just get a new manager in and let him do the usual thing of bringing in his own guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Gibson might see sense and look for a fresh start. If a young manager (Woodgate) taking over from an old experienced manager isn't a fresh start; I don't know what is. An assistant already employed by the team and involved with the club taking over is hardly a fresh start. Young and old isn't the be all and end all of it. For it to be "fresh" I'd suggest you need, at the very least, someone not employed by Boro already. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For the record - I'm not completely against woodgate being appointed and would be fully behind him if he does. Hes not the brightest around but since when has that been a requirement to know football? I'd much prefer someone a bit more exciting though Link to post Share on other sites
