His CV has took a battering from the lofty heights of a couple of years ago, a disastrous last season at Sheff U, 8 points from last 8 games last season to fail to get into play offs behind Luton, and left Boro in the bottom 3 after 2 wins in 11. He had his pick of championship clubs not long ago, he might have to start again lower down now (after the obligatory few months as a TV pundit). I've said before that I don't believe Wilder can recreate his Sheff Utd success anywhere else , it was just perfect conditions for him there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitestar Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Gibson is skint apparently, think his Mrs took him to the cleaners in a messy divorce, will always struggle to keep hold of any decent players as like you say the place is awful.

Johnnyrotten Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 4 hours ago, BWFC_LOVE said: Always surprises me that we made the PL before Sunderland and Derby. On Wilder, I can’t believe he took that job in the first place. Could’ve held out for the Prem surely. His stock is still fairly high and he can expect a Championship vacancy no problem. Boro are only heading one way; they’re fucked financially, no idea what the deal is with Gibson or how their fans feel about him. Never had a chance of a Prem club for me, it would be a hard sell for any Prem team to unveil their new manager as one that has very recently finished bottom, and being English doesn't help. I agree he might still get a Championship club but he's probably gone from top of a lot of big clubs lists (WBA for eg) to having to go to a Millwall, Bristol C, Hull or Birmingham to prove himself again.

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think his success at Sheffield United was built on his overlapping centre-backs system, which I'm assuming has since been found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how Gethin joins the attack from RCB in our team. Doesn't do it too often either, seems to make very good decisions tactically. Johnston on the other side tends to not overlap. He sometimes gets forward but will cross from deep and rarely gets to the byline like Gethin does. Our back 3 looks like a really solid unit. If we can keep them all fit for the season that will be a huge bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there'll always be a few but I've not met many who express the slightest doubts in my 20 years of going up there, staying in lovely Yarm and avoiding the town centre. Their view of us was always amazement that we even exist given the number of clubs in our area. A lot of "why don't you merge with ... ?"

They're giving Cooper more time according to the BBC website. They've brought in a sporting director so it sounds like just a matter of time. Probably still in charge on Monday v Villa, hard to see both managers surviving that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll get in a manager and not a coach this time, a pity it didn't happen before they played Wigan. Huddersfield's new manager Mark Fotheringham is another who's never managed before, like Schofield, but decent coaching pedigree in Germany after a playing career in Scotland. Maybe he'll get till end of season if he keeps them up but fans won't give managers they've never heard of much time to prove themselves, another risky appointment.

So am I, but it could prove to be a clever move. It should put to bed any speculation from now until the end of the season and they can concentrate on fighting to stay up.

Had forgotten about his Hull city. And his Sheff Wed passed me by to. Wouldn't be a total shock if he showed up at Middlesbrough. But their deluded big club fans wouldn't be happy.
