The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2015/16

[Deutsch Wolf]

They're one point off safety.

 

[The Bear]

I'd still back Benitez to send them down.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm no fan of the beardy bellend (another one trading massively off past glories) but I can see him getting them 15 points from 10 games which would be enough. Their run in is ok.

 

[The Bear]

11/8 to stay up. Lump on...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Benitez officially appointed.

 

[Kenny]

With Newcastle most likely doomed the question is will Benitez be the man to bring them Championship success. I doubt it.

As Paddy Power put it

"Rafa appointed on a 3 year deal which will see him stay at Newcastle until May 2016"

Personally I think Newcastle United have handled the situation rather poorly. Why allow McLaren to spend all week preparing the team, only to sack him on the Friday.

Make sure you get your man first. Dog eat dog world

McClaren knew he was going. Just window dressing that he turned up for work.

 

[Alan]

Not as if Rafa was going to install a new system in one week, anyway.

Apparently Sky reporting that Karanka has walked out on Boro - can anyone confirm this?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

 

[Lycan]

Karanka stormed out of a meeting apparently. Been feeling like there's been something going on behind the scenes for a while now, he had a go at the fans over their desire to go4-4-2 and has questioned the squad's desire in recent weeks as well.

 

[Alan]

Chances we go for him?

 

[Lupo]

Chances we go for him?

0 chances

 

[Nando]

Laughable if they don't get promoted with that squad. It's a ridiculous squad for this division and they should be miles clear by now.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Middlesbrough Football Club can confirm that Aitor Karanka did not take training on Saturday morning.

Assistant Head Coach Steve Agnew will take charge of the team for Sunday’s fixture at Charlton Athletic.

We appreciate supporters will want to know further details, but at this time the club cannot make any further comment and is solely focused on Sunday's game at The Valley.
