Gibson to be applauded for implementing a sound structure

As a number on here will know, I have not been his biggest supporter since Eindhoven- and in my eyes with justification at the way the club has been run. Moving on from those days to now and the club is barely comparable.

And Gibbo has to take the lions share of the credit for this being achieved. Whether this was a realisation that a firm, better structure needed putting in place for the club to develop both on and off the pitch - it was refreshing to see.

And how this has paid off! From bringing in a director of football to a manager with direction. Both appointments have been superb. We have an identity, a plan, a cohesive unit of players who genuinely appear to want to be with us and, more importantly, achieve something for themselves and the club.

How refreshing, how motivating this is for fans and players alike. We are a far cry from the disjointed policy we have had prior to this.

Look at recruitment. It has gone from missing virtually every target to now securing a lot of them! This hasn’t happened by accident, rather by design. I would guess players we are after see a club that is progressive and a much better option for them.

Scott, Wilder, well done in helping transform the club.

Gibbo, thank you for the realisation radical change was needed to steer the ship on course that help us now be genuine promotion contenders. Sir, I salute you.
 
You do you know that Middlesbrough may be receiving point deductions? - How true the report is, who knows....

January 2022

"Championship trio Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Stoke City are facing fresh scrutiny and could be hit with points deductions in the future.

That is according to a report in The Telegraph which suggests the three clubs could be in danger of being punished for breaching profit and sustainability rules."

Absolutely no substance in that article to support their claim.

They've just included it as a throwaway line to increase clicks.

It's actually the link to the Telegraph article, which is more worrying...

"Middlesbrough and Stoke also face severe scrutiny as Covid-inflicted collapse in transfer values makes it impossible to offset FFP losses"

The collapse in transfer values would 100% impact the club and that could easily be true

Fantastic to see that our top targets are being sorted.
Under Warnock you always felt we were down the list considerably.
Well done MFC
 
Credit where it is due.
Gibson had a nightmare from 2016-2020 and deserved stick, but since then he has got the decisions right, introduced a structure, hired good people and we are on our way again.
Anybody who doesn’t applaud that has an agenda or it is personal.

My big hope is that when we go up he invests to stay up. No expectation of anything but comfortable survival. That is where he went wrong last time and I’m sure he won’t do the same again. The difference is that this time he will have a strong structure in place to make intelligent recruitment.

Well done Gibson.
 
The big thing is having wilder players now want to sign for the boro are excited by the project before under Warnock players were very reluctant to come
 
This is what Gibbo was talking about when he appointed Woodgate, but maybe he was waiting for the right people and Woodgate was only ever going to be stop gap to try to steady ship whilst the right men were brought in. It feels like it's finally clicking in to place.
