GrahamC Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Sacked by Boro. Seen by many as probably the best manager at Championship level out there, but hasn’t worked out. Rob Edwards, just sacked by Watford & Gary O’Neil already being linked with the vacancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenred Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Blimey. Really shocked by Wilder, especially with Gibson’s track record for sticking in with managers. Wonder what’s gone on there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Wilder was being linked with Bournemouth last week, you'd think Boro might have hung on for the compo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right about the Hughton analogy, though I do wonder if in his case the day has passed & he won’t manage again. Next post is huge for Wilder, his record at Sheff U (& prior to that at Oxford & Northampton) was excellent but he won’t want a second consecutive failure on his CV.

The Coach Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think some managers catch lightening in a bottle and cannot sustain that elsewhere. Paul Lambert being a prime example. Think Wilder will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the bottom 8 I think 5-6 of them have already sacked managers? Somebody told me that Nigel Pearson is now 4th longest serving manager in the Championship. Insane if true... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good manager, really surprised at how this season has gone for Boro thus far. Don't like either of those potential replacements from a Boro point of view, they're both managers with recent success but no real hard proof they've got what it takes at this level. I hope they go for Edwards, would be an interesting risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 No big deal to see managers dismissed these days, very few football managers don’t have a sacking on their CV. A far as I’m aware Pep and Wenger are the only two that have not been sacked. Actually it could be three - was Alex Ferguson ever sacked? Getting sacked is par for the course if you’re a professional football manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 There was some talk on Twitter weekend just gone that he was disgruntled about the budget or some Middlesbrough fans complaining about it anyway. He was never a chequebook manager, but who knows if there were internal tensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the all or nothing nature that grates on me - if they get promoted then they must have been a proper good manager whereas if they don't then they will eventually get sacked and then they are a poor manager. There are so many other factors that make a club successful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Looking at social media it seems that he was heavily linked with the Burnley job back in April and was quite keen on going, and it's never been quite right between him and Boro ever since. edit: further research suggests that Burnley made an approach, he wanted to speak to them but Boro refused.

Sometimes the club isn't the right fit for a certain person, whether that's as a player or member of staff. If what @Northern Red said above is true, then that could also be a factor in what's gone wrong there. Nige has gone from 5th longest serving manager in the league, to the 4th very quickly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
