As one of the 2 boro fans on this site I'm not terribly impressed, he has some good qualities yes but nowhere near ready for the job, if the FA boot him out cos he does not have the qualifications it won't be the end of the world

I don't think it's a good idea. I'm not a 'boro fan (phew :nyah: ) but he could go from hero to zero VERY quickly with the fans if results don't go his way.

Can't help but feel he should have proved himself in a lower league first. There's nothing to say he wont succeed, but it's not just about being a great coach, you also need tactical ability and the strenght to make unpopular decisions.

 

Not sure he's ready myself.

Yeah I agree, but I'm trying to be positive - and I hope he doesn't stop playing to do this... but yeah I do wonder how much he picked up from Macca...? and he is nowhere near ready (as far as we can see?)... but lots of experience and about the right age, and I doubt anyone would question his commitment to the cause...

 

I'm off back to Boro tomorrow so I guess I get the full story when I get home.. no doubt they're all bitching about the poor lad, as they do about everything!!
