Devil-Dick Willie 3,219 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yuck. Should not have happened. With the cup out of the way he should have been given the season to stay up, and only if they went down been sacked. No loyalty these days.

Administrator Stan 17,854 Posted March 16, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 16, 2017 Pearson would be the perfect fit for that club. They're not a bad side but I think Karanka just couldn't get any more out of them. Plus Pearson is seen as somewhat of an icon at Boro so would be welcome by most fans I imagine.

They constantly play backwards and sidewards football. The Manager is reluctant to play any other way and you can see in the body language of players like Gaston Ramirez and Armand Traore they're not happy about it. As far as sackings go this is one that has happened far too late and with the fixtures they have left they should have pulled the plug sooner.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,219 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yeah, they are very boring and not at all incisive. But attacking and winning aren't the same thing. Grind out this season and grow into the league. Blackpool tried attacking their way to survival. That went poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,749 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Quote Boro are discussing whether to make a move for Guus Hiddink, 70, who has twice been Chelsea interim boss. (Daily Telegraph) Would he go to Boro if they offered him enough money to keep them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grind out this season and grow into the league. Blackpool tried attacking their way to survival. That went poorly. You can be set up defensively and still attack when needed. The problem is they're producing nothing in the final third at all. What we have been effective at doing over the years is playing counter attackting football through setting off players like Yannick and Wilf and that's got us enough points to steer clear of relegation. Middlesborough have the players to do it, Traore and Ramirez are most effective when running direct, but they choose not to. A change had to happen.

I'd be very surprised although at the same time if they offer him silly money for ten games of football he would be foolish not to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toony 95 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Paul Ince?!?! That would be hilarious. I think they'll end up sticking with Agnew until the end of the season, but really think they should be going for Pearson. He used to play for them as well.

That's one example of a team who had one of the weakest squads you'll ever see at this level. They over-achieved despite relegation. The most depressing thing about Middlesbrough is how inevitable it was. Literally anyone on here could have said they would be the leagues lowest scorers in pre-season. Paul Ince can't be a serious shout anyway. He's garbage and a dickhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toony 95 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 He'd be a good appointment although I think his reputation has been slightly damaged after the poor job he did at Derby. If they want him in, they need to get it sorted ASAP to give him time to see who he wants and doesn't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
