did I dream that they got to a European final a few years ago? What the hell as went wrong there - has Gibson ran out of money?

if they don't go up next season they are stuck........

Pretty much. To be fair, he shouldered a lot of debt himself.

But current events prove they were living beyond their means, as with a host of other clubs

Abit like Fulham punching well above their weight.

mcclaren was a good manager to them. won the carling cup and got the uefa cup final (through any means necesary mind, i remember a few dodgy formations near the end like 424 etc

).

i think they should've stuck with southgate but c'est la vie. they've got a good chairman tbh (who may be in debt) but their crowds treat them like shit

Was a class run, I remember Massimo Maccarone coming off the bench in the last minute to save them in what seemed like every game.

Was class to watch.

Don't quote me, but I have been told he is going through a messy divorce.

Semi final

Hate that music and the pathetic arm celebration they use to all do after scoring a goal. No passion at all just dance to a horrible song. Backwards.

Was never 'ultra' rich so was always on the cards that one thing out of place could fuck them up. Really surprised, none of the Boro fans I know even seem to want to go up & never talked up in the press even games ago. They are only a few points away, but everything I see & here you'd think they where midtable.
