We're (supposedly) considering hiring him to bail us out of trouble. If he can do that I couldn't care less whether he's pro or anti-Brexit. Moral fibre. Pulis had none and ended up rinsing us by all accounts of his deal. I'd prefer the same thing not to happen again. Link to post Share on other sites

We're (supposedly) considering hiring him to bail us out of trouble. If he can do that I couldn't care less whether he's pro or anti-Brexit. Political leanings have a lot to do with a lot of things. I mean some on here want us to go European, get coaches and players out of Europe to bring across and develop instead of sticking with the usual. For that argument to hold as much sense, being pro-EU is meaningful in terms of our club. There are forms of Brexit, particularly this ham-fisted 'sod them all' type which Warnock seems to profess to, which could heavily reduce the kind of recruitment we could do without Freedom of Movement. Football isn't exempt from the rules. Not to mention that I would think NB4 amongst some of our Irish contingent on here has a particular gear to grind on this issue ahead of most. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Under Woodgate I am not convinced we wouldnt get relegated. We arent good in any aspect of our play. With Warnock I am convinced we wouldnt get relegated. We would get a short term solution to us not going down. But then we would be back to square one again when Gibson appoints another novice coach. We would just delay the inevitable for a year. It wont happen either. The club has stuck to the mantra of rebuilding and restructuring. It wont publically stop that project after 5 months with a managerial change. We need a total club overhaul. Boro are like a failing school. You cant just change the head teacher and expect the school to instantly change and become better. It has all got to change in all aspects. Gibson appears to be not cut throat enough to do this. So it wont matter who's in charge ultimately long term. Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 IF we were to bring in Warnock, it would have to be on a short term deal. We can't afford his 100k a week wages so unless he were to severely lower his expectations we'd be no better off than if we still had Pulis. That said I don't see it happening. Woody was told he had the full season, I can't see why Gibson would go back on that now (especially as he doesn't seem to give a *** what the fans think.) Link to post Share on other sites

Manager's, certainly in this division, will be lucky to get anywhere near that kind of weekly wage. Wasn't Pulis only on £40k? Pretty sure I remember people saying we offered him £20k to stay on and that was half his wage. Link to post Share on other sites
