    Edwards' prior management experience is a mixed bag. He had a great 6 months with Luton that culminated in their going up through the playoffs, yet to balance it out a crap similar period when they came back down. His time in the Prem with Luton is largely considered neither good nor bad, they...

    I believe the club accepted the fee of 20M in principle and gave Ipswich permission to speak to Hackney. However it is more than possible that they also knew Hackney had his sights set higher if not with us so he wouldn't go anyway, along with being told that they really didn't want him to...

    In some ways you are correct, others not so. The main one not is in regards to Viveash. Along with Gibbo, Kieran Scott, our head of recruitment., hired Viveash personally, he was nothing to do with Edwards. Edwards brought his own man, Harry Watling with him, so when he displayed his...

    In some cases I would agree, the clubs paid very generously for a player, in others I would say they got substantially more in the long run from that player than what they paid for. Latte Lath is a striker more suited for the English game, so that sale whilst he was decent for them in the MLS...

    You are quite correct Sir, he is none other than our former manager Rat Edwards, who despite preaching "we're a big family" until he was blue in the face, scurried off instantly without a thought of throwing our season into complete disarray, at the first sign of some more dollar.

    There will be a few prem clubs who want him in January, tbh which we're prepared for. According to transfermkt he's now the most valuable player in the championship and has stepped up his game even further this campaign. There's very strong rumours that Palace and Leeds are also interested and...

    We have 3 players in on loan. Two are Target from Newcastle and Browne from Sunderland, whom as much as they're rivals who we don't get on with usually we have to admit we're thankful for these lads. There's also the talented Norwegian teen attacking midfielder Sverre Nypan from Man City, but...

    Rivals for auto spots

    In truth though as a Boro fan, if it were as an only side in the equation, Middlesbrough by themselves cannot be rivals for the autos. The title yes, but if there's only 1 rival for the autos then there would be no rivals to stop you getting in them. A lot of Boro fans incidentally are in the...

    Well done Coventry. Obviously gutted tonight, but it was largely a game of two defences and that's where your strength lies. You defended better than we did and for all our possession it's cost us really. Well that and Archer inexplicably becoming a shadow of himself over the playoffs. There's...

    Some of our fans will invariably think it's overwhelmingly likely now. The same as some doom and gloom merchants will think we haven't a prayer. Either of those extremes are very much in the minority and dismissed as rubbish by the majority though. Theorising what Luton would be like as...

    Which while extremely unlikely would at least have more of an impact. I'll be sure to tell Carrick to get that dodgy curry removed from the menu at Rockliffe.👍 FWIW, whilst the match itself is unpredictable the smart money betting wise is probably on "Both teams to score". Since Carrick took...

    Appreciate your post was tongue in cheek, but I can't for the life of me see any of the 3 first instances being a prerequisite of you getting promoted.🤣 Indeed if any of the 3 were taken over by a consortium composed of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and however many Walmart brothers there are TODAY it...

    🤣🤣 For some reason on our forums when given it's full title the Mackems' ground gets affectionately referred to as the Stadium of Shite, yet over recent years this has been shortened to the the foreign equivalent, the "Stad de Shit". God knows why, it just has.😁

    Boro fan here, it's surprising how similar your forum is to ours (and indeed most others) It contains plenty of Bedwetters, Ra-ra's (our nicknames for the doom and gloom mongers and the unbelievably optimistic who believe everything the club do is impossible to be a bad idea) as well as all...
