I thought his interview was positive, said mostly the right things (I have an issue with Martin being put in a list of Roberto, Brendan and Laudrup as he was as far away from those three as it’s possible to be, and that worries me a little as it smacks a bit of what should be said rather than actual thought) and just any sort of change is much needed.

We will have to see where we are in a few months. It’s reassuring that he has experienced contacts he can call on for advice. And in Leon and Joey he has two people, temporarily at least, that more than understand what is needed.
 
We’ve already binned Hellberg off once in favour of Sheehan. I’d eat my own shit if anyone could prove to me that he was ever a first choice after that. Vic Tomato is their guy, for better or for worse, and now he is here I wish him nothing but the best.
The timeline suggests that wasn’t the case. Hellberg came over for talks and then Middlesbrough hijacked it. And then we went in for Matos. That’s the way it seemed. I imagine it’s pretty common to have multiple options up your sleeve for managers and players, so it’s no issue either way. The only people who could prove it are the board and they wouldn’t do that now because it would undermine Matos.
 
When a manager is sacked it is normal for a club to announce that Joe Bloggs has been put in charge until a replacement has been appointed.
We didn't do that because we clearly thought that Hellberg would be in place comfortably before the Bristol game.
Interestingly, Hellberg only has a watching role for Boro midweek and takes charge for the first time on the weekend.

Not sure what that means? I’ve been consistent right the way through. I hope he does well, obviously. Do I think we’re fucked? I think there is a very high probability.

I was just saying... Know one knows how this will turn out and as you said you have been consistent with your opinion. I was just stating that either you or me will be eating my our words. As I am for this appointment 👌👌🙏🙏
