Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan leaves the club

[Kinky Tom]

Strachan is a thoroughly unlikeable Sweaty. He's also a cunt for the last 8 minutes up at Leeds in the Prem.

If only that Horlock strike had gone in eh...

And like Mex, I think Mowbray would be good there.

[Power to people]

I personally think Mowbray would be a superb appointment for Boro'.

Trouble is Strachan bought all the Celtic players that Mowbray was happy to get rid off - not so sure they would be happy playing under him again

Strachan did a pretty lousy job there but at least he had the decency to resign and tear up the contract so he was due no compensation.

I hear Sven's interested in the job.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Then in that case, I suppose they would all have to fuck off. Whoever goes in is going to want to get rid of some of the players and bring his own in. I just think the football he got Hibs and West Brom playing was fantastic (and totally at odds with his own playing style oddly enough)

[Summerof69]

Apparently Mowbray's a shoe-in for the job.

Mowbray confirmed as new manager...

[Langers]

Good Appointment IMO, knows how to get a club out of the championship.

And he's a 'Boro legend.

[pauld]

Always a bit nervous about appointing a playing legend as manager. Strikes me as a really good way to soil the legacy.

Interesting to see how long it takes him to get rid of the scottish players he sold while in charge at Celtic and has inherated at M'Boro

[No Longer Posh Red]

And whether he will try and get Coxy on loan from West Brom
