Park Life 70 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think Sunderland had less than 20 shots all season when they turned up for the derby - and he set up to stop them playing. Poyet must love the bloke. Hopefully with a bit of luck we might see some football again in our lifetimes. If there was no obastacles I'd go for Murat Yakin.

Gene_Clark 12 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 has Karanka got brough punching above their weight then or? just looking at the results he's not exactly doing stellar with them like ask their fans & they'll say this season has been a quantum leap - partly through his use of the loan market & partly through his tactics. fluid, flexible patterns of play, with options on bench to change style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I don't think Boro have slipped off as much as Ipswich & Bournemouth have had ridiculous spells of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I don't think Boro have slipped off as much as Ipswich & Bournemouth have had ridiculous spells of form. Boro have lost 2 in 19. Few draws in there but great form all the same 10 7 2. Their best games are against the absolute top sides too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9015 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Won't Karanka & Howe want to see if they can finish the job they've started & take their teams into the Premier League?

Or a club who's fans turn their nose up at say 12th with England's third best crowds. Oh Bournemouth will absolutely be favourites for the drop and we're clearly a much, much better gig (even with Ashley), but surely there's something about steering a club to promotion that matters to a manager. So they'd stay, at least until the paints dried on the open top bus anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14638 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Bournemouth are financed by Russian moneyand Eddie Howe came through the youth team there . The Russian money got him back home a lot quicker than not liking pies or whippets tbh Hes one of the most significant figures in the clubs history. He'll leave to go to spurs or west ham eventually.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I reckon the "Ashley will appoint a shit Englishman" thing is a bit off the mark, despite it being rooted in previous history. A lot of what the club has in place with its scouting system is European and the idea of nobody wanting to work under those conditions shows a huge lack of knowledge about how clubs in Europe operate. The thing that people are doing is looking for an English manager who would work under these conditions and, you're right, there's probably none due to how lower league teams operate here but as soon as you spread the net out, you could get a fucking load of them. They'll be looking at Pochettino, Koeman etc, how they've developed players (and in Southampton's case, the money they got off them) and will be looking for someone to emulate that. And that means, getting someone foreign in because just about every English manager, probably isn't up to the job. The only Englishman I could see them going for is McClaren, because he's a good coach and has had European experience. That's my all too serious take anyway so here's some swearing; cunty flaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34624 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'll own up to a huge lack of knowledge about how clubs in Europe operate. And so would Mike Ashley if he posted on here. Which is why he'll appoint a shit Englishman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
