I really am starting to fear a nightmare team of Cattermole, Percovich and whoever else is cheap, local and pliable.
Desperate.
Might as well give it to Ben Houchen and Andy Preston as his assistant.

This was 35 years ago. Yes he saved the club, yes he’s bankrolled it since and brought the good times, but they ended in 2006.
It was a response to poundshop chairman. He’s anything but. I’m not saying no criticismThis was 35 years ago. Yes he saved the club, yes he’s bankrolled it since and brought the good times, but they ended in 2006.
People are entitled to question his decisions and the fact that an ex player with a poor off pitch record and a pretty bland career, with little to no coaching experience let alone managerial experience, is being tasked with dragging this powder puff team away from relegation, deserves questioning at the very least.
It’s a poundshop appointment though.It was a response to poundshop chairman. He’s anything but. I’m not saying no criticism
I’m not sure why that’s relevant really or that’s it’s even true. We knew about Gibson gaining control, about the stadium and the promises Gibson had made to Robson.My point was, nobody knew how much money Robbo was promised before he was given the job, although I understand Lee Cattermole will be given nowhere near the amount Robbo was.
It’s a poundshop appointment though.
I’d imagine he’ll be all for it since he’ll be able to fully pull the strings on the recruitment front. He’ll also not get the boot if it all goes horribly wrong since Cattermole will be made the scapegoat not him. I initially thought suggesting Leo or Lee was a ploy to get support back for his mate Edwards which I was completely against. Now with Hobsons choice I’d be all for Edwards. Win Win Kieran.Gibson won't be put off by Cattermole's age. He was not much older when he became Boro chairman and signed Bryan Robson. And he was even younger than Cattermole during the consortium takeover in 86.
But I wonder how Keiran Scott sees it, if true.
You can’t say it’s definitely not happening though, can you? So you shooting down the speculation is also just guesswork.It’s not an appointment through, is it.
It’s just a load of guesswork speculation that actually makes no sense whatsoever.
Why would they give the job to someone who is currently not even heading up the caretaker coaching team? He’s down the pecking order in the set up that is currently in place. It’s nuts to think he’s going to then be propelled above those currently above him, to the top job.
IMO.
Maybe in the future, but not now.

It is nuts to think he’s going to be manager, I agree. That’s the problem.
Do you not remember Woodgate’s appointment? Apparently we’d searched high and low, interviewed Slavisa Jokanovic and Woodgate was the ‘outstanding candidate’….Yep, that’s a fair point.
I just can’t accept that after interviewing upwards of a dozen candidates they’ll pick a young lad who has only just started his coaching journey and who isn’t even prominent in the current caretaker coaching set up.
I thought he was.. didn’t Steve Gibson stepThread 'Dwight Gayle' https://fmttmboro.com/index.php?threads/dwight-gayle.33607/
Uncle Rico has form for making things up, this was his last exclusive when he had it on 'good authority' that Dwight Gayle was signing.
Announce League 1
Not at all. This is utter madness!!What’s scary is, that might actually be acceptable in Gibson’s thinking. Easier to blood in academy players in the lower league.
Do you remember when we were riding high on the back of European final and about to appoint a manager from the very top drawer?Do you not remember Woodgate’s appointment? Apparently we’d searched high and low, interviewed Slavisa Jokanovic and Woodgate was the ‘outstanding candidate’….
I don’t see how you can’t see it being a possibility.
Seemed enough for Gibson to **** himself last time he thought we were going there. Imho a spell in league one might be the complete reset we need, bigger clubs than us have been there and come back stronger. We’ve even done it ourselves twice!Does anyone know roughky what the difference in income is between the Championship and League 1?
