Ghost of Clough

OK. You have successfully changed my mind.......let's keep Rooney.

Mac's role has never been explained. But as Sporting Director it will most likely relate to being the 'go-between' for off the field activities - scouting, recruitment, maybe even academy. There is a chance he could be offering advice to Rooney, but Rooney suggested that wasn't the case in an interview?
Mac and Wassall would be my interim management duo for these final 3 games. I think they'd complement each other very well (similar to Mac and Simpson)

Results due to injuries I can just about take. But it's his job to motivate and organise the players. We haven't seen that for a couple of months.
Tactically, he's lost the plot. We needed something from the Preston game and he leaves Sibley on the bench? Fair enough if he thinks he isn't good enough to start, but we needed a goal late on. Sibley's more likely to get that than Ebosele. Festy is a RB whose strength is bursting forward into the RHS of the area. Rooney sticks him out on the left wing?

I've supported Rooney since he was appointed manager. I could see some potential in what he was doing despite the terrible run. But the performance against Preston suggested he's lost the players. Once it reaches that point it's hard to turn things back.
Couple that with the reservations I originally had about Rooney, his odd tactical decisions, public outbursts of players, etc... well I find it impossible for Rooney to keep his job.

Very true.
We've been bad. Just think how bad other teams have to be to be below us. [That's positive, right?]

Warnock has decreed that Boro are to beat the Wendies on Saturday and he will continue to ignore Gibsons direction to condemn us to League one.
