It does but its his 'do unto others' principle and he holds that above his desire to please the fans, rightly or wrongly. Of all the things to knock him for, this isn't one imho.I think this bizarre self inflicted policy drastically limit and hampers us a club s it restricts our options to green novices sacked failures or dinosaur has beens.
Which manager in work are you thinking would be a good fit for Middlesbrough FC, Zorro?
I think it would be quicker to say which managers you think would be a worse fit than Woodgate. There isn't many!Which manager in work are you thinking would be a good fit for Middlesbrough FC, Zorro?
But it’s madness and naive though as no other top flight club does this and it drastically reduces our options.It does but its his 'do unto others' principle and he holds that above his desire to please the fans, rightly or wrongly. Of all the things to knock him for, this isn't one imho.
No question he's ****ed up with the Woodgate appointment.
The brothers from Lincoln were mentioned now at Huddersfield now they may not have worked out but who knows but why can Huddersfield sign them from Lincoln but we can not.it was a Q based on Zorros criteria - I just wondered If he had his eye on a manager for Boro who is already with a club ?
I do think Woody should stay , talks of dismissals and sackings is not my way of how good football clubs operate and this is a good football club
He obviously just applies a different principled approach to managers and players. I'm not saying he's 'right' to do so, but I'm sure he has his reasons.But AT using your argument why are we happy to sign players from other clubs but not managers I just don’t see the the logic behind this at all. If Hartlepool can then surely we can.
He was out of contract though. Gibson doesn't seem in the business of paying compo to clubs for their managers. TBF in Robson, McClaren and Karanka he has 3 good examples of giving rookies jobs and it working out, and its his 'go to' approach. Now, with Southgate and Woodgate, he has almost balanced things out with poor examples. Who knows, maybe he'll change his mind on it.Come on, Monk was obviously poached from Leeds, despite his “resignation”. I wish to God he had stayed there.
