Yes Boro are a good case but it's what their owner want to bring in young players more and more. And spend less on wages and fees over a period of time. He did the same thing when Strachan spend millions after millions and didnt get promote. Then he cut the budget under Mowbray. 

Their owner appointed Woodgate and I was told he was getting the job before the end of last season. 

 

Yeah and you said Woodgate should be given time. Look how that's worked out. Who'd have thought a guy who smashed a glass over his head wouldn't be a rousing success.

Its an absolute outrage that Mowbray had Reed plugging away (often ineffectively) out wide because "he didnt know the position." I dont think I've seen anyone this season bar Kalvin Phillips in this l

What?! Do you not remember them relegating us pretty much singlehandedly? They lost to crappy Bristol 4-0, and then put out such a woeful youth team that Arry's Brum beat them with 10 men. S

Bennett always comes across as a class act to me, sure he’s had a nibble back a couple of times when people have tweeted directly at him but he’s within his rights to do so. I wouldn’t have his a

If you are foreign, untried, untested, have worked in a youth team or have a reputation for nice football you are ideal.

If you are British, over the age of 50, been around numerous clubs and focus on short term results then no good.

Don't disagree with your point as a whole but I don't think we're the best example of why the above viewpoint is wrong as Mowbray tends to back it up.

I think the big thing these days is that the "so that we win games" part is missing or cut off from the criteria bandied about for a new manager or a club strategy. 

For example we have a foreign scouting network in order to unearth the best affordable.talent so that we win the most games. 

Or like Swansea used to do before new owners - we have a passing philosophy and select managers in line with this model, which enables maximum continuity when people move on so that we win the most games. 

Whether it is a recruitment policy, a style of football, a backroom structure - the point of it all is to give you a competitive edge to help you win games. It's a means to an end, not the end in itself. When this is forgotten it all becomes a load.of guff.

Harry arter has just scored a lovely goal for Fulham. Turned over and zaha has hit an even better one for palace. Both worth a watch particularly zahas . Let’s hope Armstrong can pull one out the bag for us tonight

anyone know why Millwall Boro game is starting at 3pm tomorrow for?

I'm guessing so that Middlesbrough can drive home after the game without needing hotels and without arriving back in the middle of the night

Looks like we might have climbed a place today without kicking a ball, great result for Boro at Millwall, that!

Took him a couple of games to settle in but now Warnock is starting to work his magic again in the championship

Very impressive win for Boro this afternoon. They were brilliantly organised and had a threat on the counter attack. 

Their goalkeeper was very impressive, perhaps goes back to what we was discussing about having other primary objectives, fancy football and bringing in youngsters etc. Woodgate stuck with Pears a little too long perhaps despite them having a competent 1m goalkeeper in reserve. You play the team that gets you results.

Doesnt really affect us as our miniscule play off hopes would need 4 wins to even have a chance so we would finish above Millwall if we got that anyway because we are playing them.

Putting 2 and 2 together but with our hole at left back I wouldnt be overly surprised to see Mowbray move for George Friend on a free. Hope not as hes close to his 33rd birthday and has received plenty of criticism for his poor performances but a Boro boy on a free may prove too difficult to resist.

Can see Wigan doing enough to stay up even with the 12 points!

Good news for us in the race to avoid relegation next season potentially
