An emotional return for Steve Bruce? I can only assume it was a joke. If not they need to be directed to the West Brom board to read their Corberan v Bruce comparison thread... Iberico ham Deep fried spam

Wigan overlooked him when they went for Kolo and he was up for the job. Wigan have less money than us (another dodgy owner) so not sure why “under normal circumstances” he wouldn’t join us. He went to Boro who on no level are bigger than us Far better academy than us. Owner who usually backs his managers financially. Bigger crowds than us. Bigger stadium. Far more time in top flight than us in recent memory. European final. High-profile world standard players in recent memory. Other than those reasons, you mean? 😉 I think they win on all those points However in my football club top trumps these categories would be a good call: 3 league titles v none 2 league runners up v none 1 Fa Cup win v none 4 Fa cup runners up v one Record attendance 67037 v 53802

Overheard in a managers office in Merseyside…

High-profile world standard players in recent memory. Other than those reasons, you mean? 😉 High profile, world "standard"(🤔) players in recent memory ? Ravanelli, Juninho and Emerson were over 25 years ago. Recent memory is all relative though mate. I mean, we remember them pretty well, so must be recent. 😂In relation to when we were successful as a club, it is definitely recent!

Middlesbrough has a massive catchment area for fans so when you look at it pro rata with town and the clubs surrounding us I would say that Boros crowds are pretty poor really. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-middlesbrough/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/641

There is no arguing they are bigger than Town but in the overall all time football stakes they're not better.

Laugh if you like but for me our best ever achievement was survival in the PL in 2018.

History is history, 100 years ago or last season. We have a proud history and its certainly a point of view that our thrice champions has never been bettered and maybe that should give us some sort of status, in reality though all that really counts is where we are now, which feels a bit like staring straight up shit creek, in a barbed wire canoe

Common sense says that Wilder won't be interested - but ...
Fact:. He approached Aberdeen about becoming manager last week and pulled out on Tuesday
Fact:. We sacked Fotheringham on Tuesday
Rumour:. Wilder is out of the country for 10 days
Fact (as good as): Maynard says that Chicho has the job for the next 3 games at least (round about 10 days)
Just saying ...
