Does Mowbray just follow Strachan about?

It'll be Tony "Laughing Boy" Mowbray.

His soul brother Mark Kelly will be delighted to see him back in work.
Chris, just because it's not prog-rock, doesn't mean it soul.
I see your man has been turned down for the Leicester and Boro jobs now. I hear the Wales job could be up for grabs. Fingers crossed.

Looks the ideal job for MON. Good set up, chairman, decent sized club and support. Tough job but the kind of thing he'd be good at.

Always seen Boro as a pretty mediocre club TBH, probably one step up from a Wigan or such like. Some big name players in the past; Mannion, Clough and more recently a brief (and slightly surreal) flirtation with World/ Euro superstars such as Ravanelli, Juninho and co. But one domestic trophy in 100+ years.

Some of the gates they used to get even in the Premiership were embarrassing. Agree Gibson seems to be a good chairman but the whole package up there just seems a bit drab.
True, they remind me of the Rags, except they've shown a lot more ambition and success. Still a nothing club, mind.

Personally, I don't like Strachan anyway.

Strachan must be the most annoying twat in managment [untill now]
he thinks he's funny in a poor mans holloway sort of way, but unlike holloway he has no humour,

 his sarky remarks are childish, he can be nasty and probably has some self esteem issues, as he is constantly on the defensive.

 he was a cracking player though

Boro are gash and always will be.

They were pretty good on 2nd May, 1981.

Does this mean we will have another incomprehensible person commenting on MOTD this Saturday?

As admirable as their chairman seems to be (I thought Tom Hanks was one of us?),  he looks a bit of a prat now for sacking Southgate.

I quite like Strachan, have done ever since he took Coventry back to their rightful place. Given his managerial record, I doubt many clubs will be banging on his door.

I hope Strachan gets another job, I like some of his quotes...

Reporter - "Gordon can we have a quick word?"
Strachan - "Velocity" (walks off)

Reporter - "So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?"
Strachan - "What areas? Mainly that big green one out there..."

plus an enemy of Ferguson is alright by me.

i gave Strachan a right slagging in few posts above this one,

but i have since read and heard that he tore up us contract and said he hadnt delivered, and went without a penny compensation.

now if thats true, he has gone up considerably in my view, can you imagine O'leary ever doing that ?
so good on you Gordon, you aint so bad after all

Isn't that what you do when you quit anyway?
