Chicog Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 You have to wonder what is going through Steve Gibson's head. The bloke has been doing a great job. Troubled Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka will not take charge of Sunday's clash against Charlton, the club have confirmed.The Spaniard has confided to friends that the club's former England winger Stewart Downing was not his signing and that he's finding it difficult to deal with the local hero and personal favourite of chairman Steve Gibson.Karanka's walk-out from the training ground on Friday following an argument at a team meeting has disrupted preparations for their game on Sunday at Charlton.

champers Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Their former manager; McLaren; has suddenly found himself with time on his hands. Could he return? Would Boro fans want him back? Was quite successful there last time around, though he did spend a shed load of money. Remember Maccheroni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was quite successful there last time around, though he did spend a shed load of money. Remember Maccheroni? I've got a soft spot for Gibson and Boro, I reckon he's one of the best owners of a football team and the fans are die hard compared to many other teams. McLaren back there? Don't even suggest this as they deserve far better than that. Good luck Boro with finding a decent replacement but not McLaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with Gibson is he's the chairman and he should not be picking players against the wishes of the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 ^ The Boro' lads in Ban Chang (and there are a fair few of them) are all backing Gibson on this one. Apparently Karanka has 'lost' the dressing room.....Mourinho lite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Karanka is now back in charge. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
