Did Boro make Michael Carrick miserable?

Not sure I saw Michael Carrick smile whilst at Boro - certainly not as broadly as he does in this article. Was it Boro and life on Teesside in general make him come across dour?

Next Man Utd manager: Why United are taking their time over decision

Some are calling for Michael Carrick to be made permanent Man Utd manager, but the club will not rush a decision.

He was happy in the first 5 months or so until the injuries hit just before the playoffs, never seemed to recover from that.

Living away from his wife and kids and long spells of poor results will do that to you.

He's on 3 wins from 3 in a new job, there's not much to be unhappy about yet.

He was happy here when everything was going well too.

Hes near to where he lives, nothing worse than working away imho. Plus everything is going well for him ATM, soon as he gets a few defeats and the critics get their gloves on it will seem a lot worse than being on Teesside I bet.

Edit* As a note he played some good stuff at the Boro at times, if he has the players which he should have there he might just do very well.

I can imagine him getting the job full time in the summer then everything slowly going pear shaped next season.

Hellberg in a 2-2 I know I know it's serious....

Of course he's happy. He can't believe his luck. He was rubbish at his job and he's been awarded with one of the biggest jobs in football. It's like he's won he lottery.

Really good start for him and clearly has the team more motivated and better setup than Amorim (who I genuinely think was trying to get sacked).

Whether it lasts who knows. Pressure will be like nothing he experienced here when they do go through a sticky patch.

 

[UgoAfro]

By the end, yes. We were consistently throwing away points from good positions and he couldn't seem to break the cycle and seemed out of ideas (which also made the fans unhappy too!). It was odd really as the previous season when we had a bad run he switched to 3 at the back for a bit to make us more solid and get some confidence back but last year he just plodded on with the same formation and style hoping things would change. He just seemed out of ideas and needed a break which he's now had.

Same as Edwards after Luton. Had a break and came back with us re-energised.

Michael Carrick certainly made me miserable last year I know that.

 

[NoloBoro]

A decent bloke who initially did well but struggled after a good start. It’d be enough to make anyone miserable

 

[festa5]

Maybe slightly irrationally I'm still irritated by the fact he flat out refused to bring in an experienced coach while here but has immediately done so at Man Utd.

I can't believe for a minute Graeme Carrick was unavailable.

Still, if he had agreed to that we probably wouldn't have Hellberg. Who I'm convinced will go onto far greater things than Carrick will.

Not half as miserable as I felt at Sheff Wed away last easter

Not half as miserable as I felt at Sheff Wed away last easter

And Hellberg knows I’m miserable now

If it's not love then it's the Kim that will bring us together...

Meet me at the Ayresome Park gates, Carrick and Woodgate are on your side….Kim is on mine

I think Carrick felt the pressure at the Boro.

He is on a free hit at Man U.

No he wasn't

And Hellberg knows I’m miserable now

Oh but I'm not miserable now, I'm actually quite a cheerful Chester!
Hellberg may be completely unaware of this also, but in general I think he knows most Boro fans, with the exception of a few posters on here are happy now as a rule.
