Bored of the rumours, just want a manager :lol:

But in all seriousness, not a bad manager.

Did well at Boro and Forest, but struggled at Birmingham.

Has experience of the league, which is what we want so would welcome him.

I saw that, saw he was reportedly close to signing.

Has done OK at other clubs, apart from at Brum.

Wouldn't be my first choice though.

Always worth posting the rumours, just saying that we've had thousands of rumours.

We all just want an announcement soon.

If true, the way Karanka sets his team up, would bring some exciting football to the club.

his Boro team from a while back did excellent.

I find the idea that we might be considering a competent, experienced Championship manager to be preposterous.

You sure about that, as I understand it he favours a defensive set up ?

Yeah, if I remember rightly he would adopt a 4-2-3-1 most games with boro, Defensive control with a good attacking pedigree.

I think he would be a perfect fit for the club.

Fair enough, I was only going by the little I had read online.

I knew he had got boro promoted but didn’t realise he was there as long as he was, 3.5 years.

Yeah, a bloke at work is a boro fan and he always sings his praises. Out of all of the managers linked he would be in the top 3 candidates for me.
