When MR inevitably gets the sack do we reckon Frank and him would be up for a job share?

Lamps takes the first half the season with MR coming in around January for the title charge?

I think it could be first half of matches v second half. Frank gets us ahead with his cavalier approach for Mark to tighten up in the second half.

Yup. The Stoke fans are saying Cov fans were right that he’s useless without Adi. Not a coincidence Boro doing so well.

Well boro have been doing much better since edwards left ? Adi was there with both

Called it that they'd finish around 14th. He's done a decent job there considering where they were last season.

Theyre drawing alot of games really , truth is there are much better squads in the league , theyd do well to finish top 10

Dyche is available now if you lot get rid of Frank, he’d certainly shake up some of the softies we have and make them fight a bit

I honestly think I would reconsider how many games I do if we employed a manager who plays that sort of football

Like his last 3 clubs?

Stoke fans turning on MR on their forum.

The true epitome of a shit, boring football club with ideas above their station cause they played the next step down from Rugby in the Premier League for a few seasons

MR is a builder, he is barely a year into the job and they have made positive steps this season and were never going to sustain it this season - They would be stupid to sack him

 

[CCFC96]

Whilst I love Mark and everything he did for the club - think there’s enough evidence now across Huddersfield, us and Stoke to show that his ceiling is mid-table championship. Outside of one year where we had Gyokeres and Hamer - all other years he’s had decent enough sides underperforming.

Sometimes a manager suits a specific club. Mark suited us and we suited him.

Robins need a coaching team he can trust!

He flipped his usual purple patch this season. Still time to improve as well.

He didn't do a 'bad' job at Huddersfield per se - They had only just been promoted to the second tier and he steered them clear of relegation in his one full season

Fucking hell! They'll do anything for a few social media clicks. The most embarrassing club in England and its not even close.

What the holy flip.

Only way I'd allow that is if the media team did all the build up but then it just has somebody snapping him in two and then it ends.

I want to say something so wrong right now,he run like a*****!

That's Kyogo I think.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

That lad would definitely score more goals then Kyogo

The argument of VAR in the Championship is rearing it's head again after the Brum WBA game last night

Really not sure how I feel, we would have had about 4 or 5 extra penalties with it this season but I still can't bring myself to say I want it

You are assuming VAR would make the correct decision on those penalties. Assuming they wouldn’t find something else that happened before. Also you and I are stood around waiting for 5 minutes for them to make a decision, often wrong.

No thanks, absolutely no thanks.

 

[Hobo]

Viveash isn’t the only reason Borough are doing so well. They have definitely improved under the new manager.

 

[williesdonkeykick]

Take Hackney out the mboro team for 12 games, you think that wouldnt affect them, that’s how important Asante is for us, sometimes it is that simple, we’ve missed one of our consistently best players and top scorer for 12 games,

 

[wingy]

Looked like he'd stalled but got the second wind, maybe made the necessary adjustments.

Having watched Swansea a bit this season (as they’re technically my local club) I have to say that Vipotnik is a striker who would do a lot better than Simms and Wright for us in the 9 role.

His movement is intelligent, he batters defenders, wins a lot in the air and he can’t half wallop it.
He would be just the kind of striker to breathe fresh air into our forward line.

Which means, obviously, Dean Austin won’t look at him unless his data is on point.

Top scorer by a distance for a team in 15th is some achievement. Would be nice if we had a scout who could identify these players before they’re top scorer in our league on a four year deal tho. Wonder why his last club terminated his contract.

Bordeaux went bust

Gordon Bennett.

We're second in the league. Let's not pretend our recruitment is shit because we're not in form.

 

[Liquid Gold]

We were in for Vipotnik before he went to France I believe

 

[Russell Slade]

I don't know, I'd say its honourable to do their bit for the Make a Wish Foundation

How much have we spent to get there? How does that compare to other clubs?

 

[shmmeee]

Wasn’t that when Badlan was still here?

 

[Shannerz]

We're hardly spending wild amounts on players, and a significant portion of the spend on our current squad came when we'd just received £30m+ from player sales. Our recruitment has been universally praised as extremely good. Let's not pretend that it isn't.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

No I think the interest was reported in 2023/24 season before Vik was sold and he joined Bordeaux

By who? When? I’ve genuinely not seen any praise for our recruitment since Austin took it over.

And even if you take that receipts into account we’ve spent far more than most non parachute clubs. I’m not going over this again and lol reacts a vague “everyone knows” aren’t an argument.
