I don’t think anyone thinks the club is beyond criticism, however, some of the comments made about the manager border on being nasty and vindictive. Criticise by all means but calling him a liar and other slurs isn’t appropriate and would the individuals who post these comments actually say them to his face??
I would quite happily, although I hope I never have the misfortune to meet him. He's a football manager, not the pope, and to suggest his results and character are beyond question is absolute rubbish.
I know he's managed to create this cult of personality through his bum bag, signed pictures, Liam Gallagher gif etc, but ultimately he's a past his best best football manager, who has a points total worse than a manager that was hounded out of the club, who thinks using club press conferences to make glib political statements is OK. His tendency to blame everyone else for his own failings is both infuriating and an insult to other professionals.
He's had far worse thrown at him, and Boro fans as a collective have treat more successful managers far far worse (McClaren as one).
