They're a fairly big club aren't they? Although if he's on 80k a year as someone has suggested it would be weird if the buy out was 12.5 years wages!!

Does Hellberg and Matos play the same type of football?

I think it's also important to remember that the managers appointed from Jackett to Laudrup inclusive were coming into a club on the up, full of good feeling and riding the crest of a wave. We are a very different animal now. As much as you want to be optimistic, there's a big part of you that...

I appreciate this is pessimistic but I look at the bottom of the table and how we've performed this season and I do wonder if this is the season we go down. Or at least come very close. You wouldn't be surprised to see Sheffield United and probably Norwich drag themselves out of where they...

😂 I thought the same. Assumed there'd be regular flights going over from there!

I had a brief look at this and apparently there isn't.. whether you go from Cardiff, Bristol or Newcastle, you're changing in Amsterdam. He'd probably be better off going direct from Heathrow to Stockholm and getting a driver from Swansea to Heathrow. So ease of travel is probably Swansea...

Someone yesterday said that the move made sense as "Middlesbrough is closer to Sweden".

Well Monk turned out to be crap. Toshack and Martinez was a long time ago now. Also, we weren't in the second tier at that point either. Genuine question, how many totally inexperienced managers have come into the Championship and been a success?

It's probably not a huge market for them is it? I should imagine it's quite easy for them to lose a lot of money if they're caught with their pants down

There is a special, surprise guest opening it. I can't say who he is but he's currently getting his hair and beard all perfect ready for the big night.

It's a Hell No from me.

He had such a good relationship with the journalists last time he was here, surely the tone of the media wouldn't be "according to the bookies" - it would be a bit more solid than that? Or am I just clutching at straws?

Imagine the fanfare of his return too. Everything that will come out of his mouth, all the content from the club. I feel physically sick at the thought

I don't think he'll be bothered about managers who were here 15-20 years ago. Boro have produced two England managers in the last 25 years plus a couple of others who have had decent careers. We've been crap for years. We are going to have to gamble on a manager because they'll certainly be...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 At least supporting the Swans isn't dull

I wonder if there's some sort of additional benefit to the club if they offer him a new deal? Like increased compensation etc

Anyone is going to be a gamble, surely? To me, Hellberg seems to be one of the better names mentioned so far.

Brendan will be hoping for a move to Saudi Arabia imo. Suits him right down to the ground

I don't disagree... But there are plenty of players in the championship who would be able to have an active place in a premier League squad. My point is that we possibly have two and even that may be somewhat of a stretch. We may very well have a better squad than our league position suggests...

We'll have a bit of a bounce first where the opposite will be true and everyone can say it was clearly Sheehan to blame and not the players. Although I suspect that will be reversed in 6 months time. The fact is we are probably an average championship team with average championship players...
