Ayresome7 187 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I don't think Gibson would sell to RB. Fat kids from Berwick Hills and Ormesby drinking Red Bull at the Riverside and making airplane wing gestures when we score. What a gift to the future generations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,964 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Just read Woody interview which is encouraging and I believe we should all take heart. So the simple solution from Woody is “ we must try to play well” & “we need to try to win games” but goes one better, “we have to win games, score a lot of goals” what is encouraging was the planning “ I didn’t expect us to be where we are,” So on the back of those comments I’m staying with a mid table finish 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly I would have no problem with Red Bull buying out Gibson, or taking a controlling interest in the club... ...as long as they didn't try to make us Red Bull United. After all, given all the other sponsorship they do, its not like they actually need any more exposure. Stadium naming and shirt sponsorship...fine. Red Bull ads running on the electronic advertising boards...wonderful (sorry...wunderbar)! I just don't want any company coming in, doing a total re-branding and trying to pretend that the club's 140-odd years of history don't matter. Link to post Share on other sites

Allam didn't get permission and it was an unpopular move amongst fans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Look on the Brightside at least were in a relegation battle, it could be worse it might have been mid table mediocrity with nothing to play for and the season dead 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe it without realizing it before, I actually could be the next Boro manager, I meet the criteria needed for the job.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I did the Gazette's current predictor and had us survive by a point 😬 I definitely feel like I over-egged Wigan as they climbed a lot and it is incredibly hard to predict so many games with so many teams I have very little idea about but had us finish on 48, Huddersfield just in the relegation places with 47, with us and them both losing on the last day at Wednesday and Millwall respectively.

I just got us going down in 22nd, along with Barnsley and Luton. Charlton and Wigan were safe on 44 and 43 points respectively. Kind of matches what I've been saying for a bit.
