    Boro won, but Monk sacked. Just mentioned on five live.

    Played 26, won 12, drawn 5, 3 points off a playoff place.


    Untenable. Surprised he lasted this long. Should have walked. Simply not good enough.


    Managers are a cosseted, protected species.

    It's embarrassing.

    Sack them all, that'll learn 'em.

    I bit of a surprise, I would have thought they would have stuck with him, but obviously after spending a lot to get back up at the first time of asking doesn't look as if it is going to happen.

    For an owner who normally shows such patience and restraint this is quite the surprise

    Pulis is available! That’s why he was sacked

    Is this a first with both managers getting sacked having played each other?

    They could just swap teams and save a fortune on advertising costs

    Gibson is a football man and he knows the game and has asked himself how the **** are Boro not in the top 2 in this terrible division this season.
    Our owner on the other hand is probably wondering when we get to play Manchester Red Devil and the Chelsea Blues.
    He will be disappointed in Blackburn away in the cup as he's never heard of them and is wondering if we will ever get to play Barcelona in the FA Cup one day.

    Considering what Boro has spent they obviously think they should be toe to toe with Wolves. Chairman Gibson might be a loyal fan but he doesn't f'ck around if he think he is getting short changed. If appointed Pullis will be under even more pressure than Monk...the games f'cked but the pay is good.

    Gibson is reported to have sacked Monks mainly due to his concern about the style of football that Boro have been playing , now talking to Pulis doesn't make sense that's two manager he's sacked because he thinks they too negative then goes for Pulis

    Yeah I read that earlier, I agree it’s a tad strange to sack a manager for his style then go for pulis

    PULIS gets the Mbro gig...Very odd appointment when you consider they slung out the defensive minded Monk, in favour of ultra cautious Pulis!!!

    Football never ceases to amaze.
