Fighting Talk

[I should coco]

Steve Gibson the Boro chairman has said:

"The club is well run and we're in a good financial state so we will have more resources going into next season than any other Championship club.

"We will smash the league next year. We want to go back up as champions."

I think he's bang on the money to be fair

 

[Bladey McBladeface]

Depends who their manager is really. You would imagine they will be up there though.

The only other thing is convincing players that they want to move to Boro. It's not exactly the most exciting of prospects...

 

[SteveBlade]

Fair play for confidence, I fancy them.

Even if I was very confident of the Blades doing something like that I don't think I'd even say something like that on here, never mind to everyone.

The potential of egg on face would be too much.

 

[BushBlade]

Those words sound familiar....

 

[FMBlade1]

Wigan's chairman said before the start of last season that they would smash the league with 100 points, they ended up with 80 odd but still went up as champions, so can work out.

Though McCabe's fighting talk of Europe in 5 years infamously didn't xd

Piggy Peason must be in with a shout ............

Oh, they should have no problem on that score:

"It's closer to London than Sunderland"

"When blindfolded, it is a pleasant market town with a stunning view of the North Sea, subject to smog"

"It used to be in Yorkshire"

"As shitholes go, it isn't quite the worst and shittiest"

"It isn't Hull or Barnsley"

That should have them queuing up!

A lot of them live in either Yarm, Wynyard or (mostly) York.

 

[Norderner]

Yarm is one of the most beautiful places in the UK. I'd move there in an heartbeat if I could afford it!

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Love it when a chairman says something like this. Notice you never get a manager saying it though.

Would think his words will serve as the team talk for every team they play

 

[Isar]

They will be the team to beat, anyone who finishes above them will be promoted.

 

[SwissBlade]

Just spoken with my Boro mate, he says they won't be smashing the league if Agnew is in charge.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Yarm is one of the most beautiful places in the UK. I'd move there in an heartbeat if I could afford it!

No it's not!

 

[Jonboy60]

New manager will be one of the usual names that's bandied around. You know the ones, promotion on their cv 4/5 years ago. Or another obscure foreign manager. Use rosler must have a shout. Fuck it, who gives shit.

So they will be the (Newcastle) next season,who will be the (Brighton).................Us i hope

 

[Isar]

Harry Redknapp, if Gibson offers him £3 million a year he'll leave Brum like a shot (of course £3.83 million after the usual tax and NI deductions).

 

[bornablade]

They won't even make the top 6 if they continue to play with the same lazy attitude. Shearer laid into Sunderland on Saturday night for adopting the exact same style.

Next season I can see both clubs doing a 'Villa' rather than a Newcastle.

 

[Booker4]

Yarm is amazing! Worked their once for a week and stumbled across this housing cul de sac called the Green! Every house was a cottage around this triangle shaped grass area and it was so far removed from the surrounding Stockton! As for boro, its always dangerous coming up with such bold talk and I reckon Gibson probably said it directly to the fans as just make everyone feel more positive in what's been an absolute disaster for Boro. Pearson as one fan said would be a decent match you would think.

My mate just said this "Other than Strachan and Mowbray in the last 25 years every manager we have had it has been his first management job"

 

[Danny_Blade]

Piggy Peason must be in with a shout ............

He said yesterday on Goals on Sunday that he'd be interested, I think he would be ideal for them but nothing is guaranteed in football as they say. Right at the beginning Karanka created that team to be more defensive and organised which is ultimately why I think they've come straight back down (and still would have even if he had stayed until the end). They didn't let many goals in but at the same time didn't score enough and 5 wins all season says it all. They should be top 6 though whoever is manager next season.

 

[JJBlade]

Harry Redknapp, if Gibson offers him £3 million a year he'll leave Brum like a shot (of course £3.83 million after the usual tax and NI deductions).

They could get away with paying just the net £3 million if they pay it directly into Rosie the dogs account

 

[itsinyerblood]

I'd cut Gibson some slack, he's one of the better Chairman around.

I'd imagine he was talking about resources, not how the money will be spent. As a manager he's exactly the type of Chairman you'd want alongside you, my only question would surround Agnew, their current manager.

 

[BushBlade]

Blades 1

Boro 0

Too far north and he wouldn't accept other people signing players like Karaka had to do.

 

[Tezza1889]

Well, one things for sure, the agents will just have put another 5% on middlesboroghs fees now....

Middlesborogh....

a yo yo club, great chairman but poor on recruiting and managers..

 

[JJBlade]

Middlesboro have punched way above their weight for over 20 years

Probably the most depressed area of the Country
Not a big club
Not a particularly large fanbase
Not a marketable club or a sponsors dream

And the players that they've signed over the last 20 odd years has been astonishing.
It just shows what can be done with the right people at the top, like Gibson

I hate Yarm ,spent weeks out of my life sitting in traffic jams caused by lazy fuckers parking in the big square to go to the bank or the florist ,purple rinse hell.

 

[South Bucks]

Went to boro once as a student for a weekend and as a young lad was surprised the locals told me to watch out for marauding packs of hunter killer women on Saturday nights. I tried hanging around a bit but had no luck.
