At long last.

 

Most of my mates that follow them home and away wanted him gone months ago.

I'd actually prefer Derby to be promoted than have to listen to Warnock whining his way through another Premier League season.

He wouldn't last the season. Warnock is not a good enough PL manager and if Cardiff go up they'll be shot of him by this time next year. Cast iron guarantee

Karanka early favourite for the Wednesday job.

Boro' in talks with Pulis.

This season, it always felt as if he was doing one step forward and two steps back with each game passing.

They spent so much money over the years and are now caught in No Man's Land.

It's a long drive from Bournemouth!

[Samilktray]

Why on earth would they go for Pulis if they apparently sacked Monk over the style of football being played 

[Fox92]

Pulis appointed 'Boro manager.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I'd be disappointed with that if I was a Boro fan. Short term appointment.

 

Can't quite explain it as well as I'd like, but consistently winning games in the Championship to get yourself up is a very different proposition to grinding out points in the Premier League just to stay afloat. It's a very different division to the one Pulis managed in ten years ago.

Totally agree. He's an appointment for a team looking to stay up, not go up. You do need to be more expansive at the top end of leagues. Very weird by Boro!

[Tuna]

Boro chairman Steve Gibson added: "We're excited by this appointment and by what Tony can bring to this football club. There was strong interest from two other clubs, and we're delighted Tony has decided to join us."

 

Hmm...wonder who the other 2 clubs are, Swansea and...?

Sheff Wed and Wales

[ealingfox]

Be interested to see if he can still get a team up tbf, been doing the survival schtick for years now. Obvs a solid defence will get you a long way in getting in the top 2 of a league but you do still need the all-round management.

[Corky]

And the likes of him, Allardyce and Moyes were all crying that British managers never get employed yet in the space of two months they are (almost) all back in work.

 

Bunch of pricks.

Radio 5 reporting that he's resigned from Maccabi. Looks like the fraudulent clown is heading back to a uk club with Wednesday the likely destination

He reeks of failure. Look at his last few clubs!

[Wymsey]

Preston score a late goal against Cardiff.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Derby will have Cardiff's place, Warnock has worked miracles there really but their squad isn't that good. Play-offs at best. Derby have a good, well-spoken manager and a squad with a bloody great balance.

[Koke]

Prefer Derby & Bristol City to come up with Wolves.

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Good result for us, weve still got to do our bit and hope wolves can do us a favour, wont be easy at brist city either. Im in 2 minds whether i want wolves to win or not though, they lose the gap closes in slightly but tbh they will pull away big soon so they might as well clear off now ?

 

Wolves win we can afford to slip up aswell, itll just keep things tight.

[Corky]

Pulis in- 0-1 home defeat, 1 shot on target. Never change, Tone.

[Kopfkino]

Ref doing well in this game, not letting himself be intimidated by Wolves' nonsense and apart from not booking Jota, got everything spot on. Decent game too.
