Boro meltdown

[beorhthelm]

But what if Boro RALLY? Have we considered the RALLYING?

thats would be far more likely with a new manager. with Karanka remaining, the problems remain. it might be brushed over for a week or two, the issues and conflicts would have been resolved really.

erm... its actually the best part of half a million pounds

I thought Paul Barber's job was to reply to emails, not check NSC?

I reckon that's Boro's season done now, Play offs at best.

He really doesn't want to be there, does he? Very unconvincing

A lot of people on the Boro message boards are commenting on how happy and relaxed he seems. He did say 'the club didn't want to sack him and he didn't want to leave'

Doesn't matter if he's happy or not really. This must of unsettled the entire club, and at the worst possible time...for them.

The club might want him to be there but it's clear some of the players don't.

Just imagine if Gus Poyet had said that back in May 2013..

He was too worried about the ceiling.

A defeat to Hull and he will walk.

 

[Icy Gull]

Not really up on all this but does this mean he can drop Rhodes and Downing now?

Well, its just damage limitation now isn't it. As he's staying (for now), he was only ever going to come out and play the whole thing down.

Whatever the cause though, whatever the rights and wrongs of what triggered it, the fact of the matter is he flounced off on the eve of a crucial game, as they all are at this stage, leaving his team to their own devices at Charlton. And they got beat again. That was totally unprofessional and to my mind pretty much unacceptable. If they dip out on automatic (or worse) by a couple of points, then his hissy fit will have played a part in it. The damage may already have been done anyway.

Hopefully.

Thanks for posting that. I, too, find this a very strange interview, where he's not really tackling 'the issue' (although concedes that there was one). As a result, I think the analysis offered by [MENTION=21064]easy[/MENTION]10 is convincing, but just wondered what you thought of the situation.

Not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread but have heard he is off to be Mourino's number 2 at Man Utd ?

Maybe some substance in it !

Meanwhile at Hull, Steve Bruce tonight quoted as saying "Everybody's anxious, which is not a good thing."

 

[Sheebo]

Bit confused. He says the chairman is cool with him and that it was nothing to do with the 'fantastic' (expensive) Boro players... So... Erm... What was it about fella?!
