GioGio85 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow amazing achievement. Barretto is a goal scoring machine. Really good news about the new stadium, 77,000 watching the Boro....you certainly must be entertainers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackripper Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Boro's Babes! 2020/21 [ URL=http://img824.imageshack.us/i/rod21.jpg/][/url] Not my usual update but shows how my season really went. We couldnt win back tp back titles s we finish in 3rd place but we still qualify for the champions League. Manchester United become champions. We did however make it to Wembley in the League Cup final but a defeat on pens against Birmingham saw us as the runners up. A bit disapointed but its a sign where still moving forward as a club. In the champions league we were drawn in a group with Real madrid and we finished 2nd in the group despite starting with a loss to Real Madrid. We did however beat them 1-0 in the return fixture. We went through and was paired with Lokomotiv who i thought we should definatly beat this team and well wasnt it shoved in my face as we lose on away goals after drawing 3-3 on agg. Disapointing to be honest. My key player was somehow not Barretto as his age is finally catching up with him but he still finished the clubs top scorer. I thought my best player was Midfielder Leandro rodriguez who blew me awya with some special performances. 10 goals in the League alone was a good return for a player who would rather set up than score himself. So overall a good season in the League but disapointment in the cups. Improvements to be made next year as i want a trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackripper Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 If they come...You cant say no????? During the summer a bit of news popped up telling me my good freind Avram Grant had now retired from football and from managing Manchester United. To be honest i was temtped to go and apply for the job straight away but felt i was building something specal at Boro. I decided id stay but if they came knocking out of the blue then id probably consider it. A few days passed and reports where coming out stating i was going to be approached by Manchester United. Nothing Official had come through so i decided not to take any notice and continue my plans for next season with Boro. However my chairman rang me up and saying i have been offered the chance to go and manage Manchester United and would i like to speak to them. after the conversation with Steve it was agreed it wouldnt be a bad thing to go and have a chat and see what they had to offer, As Steve did recognise this was the club in my heart. not saying i dont feel anything for Boro because that would be lying. I met with Man utd's chairman tom Heaton and he discussed what he had in mind for the future and that he wanted a young English Manager to take over the reigns of such a high pressured job. We discussed a package of a 5 year contract worth £59k p/w and a transfer budget of £80million. I decided right there that this was the perfect opportunity for me to accept the job offer and leave Boro. So i was announced as Manchester United manager from immediate affect. I felt i left Boro in great shape for someone to continue my work in what ive put in to the club. I would like to still to be placed on the favoured personel as i feel i took Boro further than any manager possiby in such short space of time...So with that i move on to my dream job and head to Old Trafford............

Nobby_McDonald Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Let's hope The Ripper gets up to his usual business at Old Trafford. If he does, it will drop the population of Cornwall by a few thousand, but that's something we'll have to live with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
