Personally I think it is pointless appointing anyone as a permanent manager. It should be a contract until the end of the season. With a review after that. Obviously this further limits the number of candidates who might be interested. It needs to be someone who is a good man manager, tactician and has coached at a top level managing and massaging egos. Someone who is currently unemployed and who likes a challenge.
Southgate fits the bill.
Won't happen obviously.
It seems like he's doing well at Boro but fans thinking that he'd be a safe pair of hands in the Championship should take a look at what League Luton are in now and ask a few questions about how responsible he was for that mess.
Boro fans seem pretty happy if he is to go, football awful, depressing, turgid stuff! Lack of goals and attacking threat, celebrating shots as if they were goals.
He's got them to third they acknowledge but football has been terrible. They are looking forward to getting a coach to build on the start they've made.
Quick search on boro forum wanting q new manager and better football
It’s because 3rd after 14 games is meaningless compared to the torrid footy being served up week after week that sees shots on target celebrated like goals and £20m spent on attacking plers being *** up the wall because the system makes them all look sh1te
We’re 3rd cos we kept it tight with our back 5 (Callum Brittain and Matt Targett as wing backs btw) and fluked some goals which have now dried up as xP-ected and we’re no longer tight at the back
PS - our manager actively wants another job otherwise they wouldn’t be making an approach
He's also inherited a decent Boro side who may well have had a decent chance of going up under Carrick last season until they sold their best player (Latte Lath) in January.
In fairness he recognised the squad he had at Luton and changed from his preferred style/formation to what the players were used to. Got them promoted but then had no resources to bring in the type of players he wanted for the premier league

Basically yes. He wanted to change the whole playing style to a less route one strategu but recognised that he did not have the players. Can’t stand Jones but Charlton are the best placed of the promoted teams fr league one so far
