Heckinbottom for Middlesbrough?

**AngloHibs** · 22-05-2019 08:28 PM

3/1 second favourite with Sky Bet to be next Boro manager.
Hopefully rubbish, but has anyone any idea where this has come from? Middlesbrough don't approach managers who are already contracted to other clubs - surely PH isn't touting himself for different jobs?

***CallumLaidlaw*** · 22-05-2019 08:35 PM

Apparently a single large bet was placed on him to put him to second favourite

Bag of sweeties?

***SouthMoroccoStu*** · 22-05-2019 08:49 PM

McInnes must be in the running for it

John Terry was also mentioned

**we are hibs** · 22-05-2019 08:51 PM

Bit weird hes came into the betting that heavily. But remember Appleton was 1/7 For the hibs job at one stage.

***bingo70*** · 22-05-2019 08:53 PM

Was he not linked with the Boro job while he was at Barnsley?

Don’t know why but I seem to remember him having some link with them?

If he was interviewed previously it might explain why he’s being spoken about again now.

PH has done well for a very short period. Surely if English clubs are looking at SPFL managers then McInnes must the one most likely to move and NL will be free in the summer.

Pulls got hounded out for the style of football he played, McInnes surely won't get that gig?

**Souter96Mac** · 22-05-2019 09:14 PM

No way Hecky is going to Boro

**Smartie** · 22-05-2019 10:08 PM

If they were genuinely interested we wouldn't see him for dust.

Pulis was hounded out for not making the playoffs.

Decent compo though surely. And right at the end of the season, plenty time for someone else to come in and work with the team the whole pre season and bring in their own players!

If Heck went who the hell would we get?

Michael Appleton? 😁

**Since452** · 23-05-2019 06:13 AM

After his Leeds experience i can't see Hecky jumping ship just yet

***Carheenlea*** · 23-05-2019 08:51 AM

Why does Craig Levein never feature on management candidates lists? Can appreciate he is probably too big a name for the Boro job.

***Golden Bear*** · 23-05-2019 09:06 AM

Heckie is not even quoted on this list:-

***Diclonius*** · 23-05-2019 09:41 AM

Waiting patiently on some new poster showing us a picture of Hecky meeting Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson and asking "Hey do you know what's going on here as it looks like your manager is speaking to the chairman?", before changing his tone to "He WILL join our club and it is FACT, you CANNOT stop this it is INEVITABLE" within a few days, then disappearing when it doesn't happen.

Anyone?

Just appoint a caretaker and keep him in place to await Steve Clarke's inevitable sacking from the Scotland job

Not sure that's true. Even if he was interested, he would have to weigh up the impact this could have on his future prospects. He was unemployed for over 8 months before getting our job. Jumping ship after 3 months wouldn't look good on his cv. Apart from which, have you ever been to Middlesbrough?

This

It wouldn't make him look good at all, no one could trust him to see out the job if his head was turned at every opportunity.

It's a decent job at a decent club.

He'd get paid significantly more, have decent backing and a chance to get into the premier league - pretty much the holy grail of football achievement these days.

His assistant might have an interest there too.

Even if it means living in a giant chemical plant full of nutters.

Hecky has now dropped down to 3rd favourite

Behind Levein and Appleton?

**Pilrig_Sauzee** · 23-05-2019 11:14 AM

Showed the thread to two Boro lads in my work. Got the following responses?

1. Who?
2. When we said we want a big name that's not what we meant.
3. You're right about the chemicals and the nutters.

So I think he's staying.

**~~The 90+2~~** · 23-05-2019 11:14 AM

They will go for a big-ish name.
