Hmm, yet another one to join the long list of former GPC players and coaches who have failed miserably as managers.

Sly will probably sign him up to fill Melissa Reddy's void.
Er I mean the void left by Ms Reddy

While all hard working ground staff and others get sacked

Yep. Jim White tried to get the callers in with that piece of bait, until Jordan tried to justify it in an on/off the pitch way.

What a joke of a club.

I’m surprised that the rags haven’t shown an interest in taking Kalvin off our hands.

 

[Vienna_70]

They can put whatever bollocks they want out.....so technically could we but, it's the slugs in the media who blindly print and fluff it up that are really to blame.

Professional integrity left for the coast many years ago.

Along with the father, son and Holy Ghost on the last train?

I don’t think it’s fair to say that Carrick has failed miserably at Bore-o.

They were in real danger of relegation, when he took over, and led them to the edge of the playoffs in his first half season.

I think the expectations placed on him were too high, could it’s a few years since they were relegated, and the parachute payments make a great difference.

The day the music died?

 

[deegee33]

This is the actual reason they want him

I've said this all along. Aquire players who can compete well at the level that you, as a team, aspire to. (7-17)

To be fair he really wasn`t one of the usual Rags and I didn`t dislike the lad. One of the better Rags IMO.

Bovril is amazing though.

United are more of a Marmite type brand. It's rank and only fucking weirdos like it.

You don’t like Marmite? You’re a fucking wrong’un mate

And he got an assist in the semi-final in 2011 :-)

Apparently, FC Franco are after Rasmus Birtles.

Fucking hell! I’ve heard it all now.

Nope. Its like licking a 9v battery or an arsehole.

I probably am a wrong un to be fair :-)

In the same period Sunderland have made the play offs and won promotion without parachute payments.
Luton also managed it in 2023.

Yeah, fair enough.

While I agree that Carrick hasn’t been a runaway success, he’s hardly in the same category as shriek, pig ginger and the gargoyles.

He comes across far better than the aforementioned Rags who would probably have sent Boro into league one.
Shrek has form for this and the others didn't stick around anywhere long enough and were either sacked or walked away before they could.
My issue is he was hyped as the second coming when he got the Boro job by the usual Rag arselickers in the media as is the case with any ex Rag who is given a coaching role.
