    Not a huge surprise but is still a bit of one. especially the timing and the fact it didnt happen 3 weeks ago.

    Feel like Carrick will be one who falls upwards because of style of play. Didn't do a great job in the grand scheme of things but really hasn't been helped by recruitment. Iheanacho, Whittaker and not signing any defenders as your January window while trying to push for the playoffs was suicide.

    I thought their January window was shocking, yet some pundits raved about it

    While true, he was a major part of that - rejected a shortlist of 5 strikers from their scouting and recruitment team in favour of signing iheanacho

    Think this is the best thing for him and Boro tbh, far too inconsistent to win promotion under him

    Loved watching his team play when they were on it tho, but always felt they had a soft under belly

    Think that's why I really favour not having the head coach making final transfer decisions. A say? Yes. But stuff like that makes me shudder.

    Whittaker in particular. Decent enough player but as the Doak replacement it made no sense.

    I really don't rate Whittaker, attitude issues to go with a poor work rate is never a good combo

    Doak gave them width so the minute he got injured it was far too narrow as no width given from RB

    Carrick should've gone weeks ago. Should be doing miles better with the money they spent.

    They should be going all out for Rohl.

    Edit. They need to be careful with this next appointment or it could go really tits up. They'll probably lose Hackney this summer too.

    Very surprised at that...Gibson has not normally been reactionary.

    The crack from some Boro fans is they like Cooper as a coach, but not as a person so much.
