Hmmmm. I felt we always had a chance with him in charge. Two promotions, two seasons in the PL, a Cup Final. Sometimes we played top PL teams and a result seemed unlikely, but I prefer realist managers rather than RAH RAH Boys.
You mean a Schengen visa, but I guess so. They're easy enough to get though, unless his taking training there is classified as "work" (doubtful).
They'll probably argue his contract doesn't start till 1st July or something similar, so his taking training and being at the matches is part of his pre-contract. Edit, actually they'll probably just say he's on a business trip which is allowed. He's not going to be employed by a Portuguese firm or similar, so that should be fine.
Dominic Solanke sounds like he's been very impressive today for the U20's, he might be an option. Edit: Just remembered, he's the kid they just sold to Liverpool. He's just scored again.
Keith Downie @SkySports_Keith We understand Middlesbrough are deciding between Garry Monk & Nigel Pearson after both candidates completed interviews for the manager's job.
