Would anyone take Carrick here? He's not quite pushed Boro to the level I think people were expecting and he's been well backed but he's not done too badly for his first gig in management.

I know we haven't appointed him Chaddy but why would we even waste everyone's time by interviewing him? And if we are at the point whereby we are interviewing him, we must be interested/considering appointing him at the very least.

That's a very good (but incredibly worrying theory). Frightening, quite frankly. Imagine being Boateng, "Sorry George, the fanbase will likely riot if we put you in charge, so we've implemented a plan to get you in on the sly in a few months"

Good lord. Why on earth would we appoint Boateng as manager? Crazy

If Skybet have removed the odds from their site, does that mean they're now sure someone is set to be appointed? Or does it not really mean anything? I'm not too sure how it works tbh.

First goal in nearly 9 years for him!

Great goal that!

Agreed. How many times do you see it when an interim manager gets the gig full time and fails? He's taken the pressure off to get an appointment in quickly but we still need a proper appointment.

Adam Forshaw scored 😂 Absolute superb win. David Lowe for Prime minister!

Quite a poor first half overall. Need a contract on the table for Yuri, first thing Monday morning.

Crazy to drop Buckley for Forshaw. ACD is poor also, he's shown flashes but they have been few and far between.

Interesting, not sure how that appointment would pan out but I'd much rather take a chance than appoint Karanka/Wellens.

Genuinely? Or are you on the wind up?

He called K**n a "gem" as well. For a bloke who's made a living writing about football, he knows surprisingly little about it.

Yates just missed an open net. Really not been the debut JE was hoping for!

They have 🤷‍♂️ (i think)

4-0

Horrific result really, they've played 2 more games than everyone around them. (Albiet, it'll be back to 1 soon enough)

Nixon claiming 150+ applicants 😂🤡 All those potential managers and our short list is still O'Neil, Karanka, Wellens and Lowey. Pull the other one Al, we know you're just writing what Waggotts pays you to write.

2-0 QPR 😈

That's insane but if we had a bit more in Eustace's contract, he'd probably still be here.

Underrated comment. Take my like.

Could you imagine if we were an ambitious club who went for a manager like that. Instead, relegation threatened Derby County came and took our manager (with ease) and we're now scrabbling around for the best of the worst. Tragic.

If we were sat midtable, not going up and not going down, yeah give it to Lowet for the season but as we're 5th and have a real chance of doing something, we need a proper manager. Lowe might be a good coach (he might not 🤷‍♂️) but anyone who saw his post match interview can see he isn't a manager.
