He's past his sell-by date and out-of-touch with modern football. He alienates flair players and distrusts foreign players, and his teams have no balance, pace or unpredictability. The negative stereotype of Pulisball doesn't actually do justice to how bad it is, the Boro fans are starting to realise that now. It isn't just long balls and scoring from corners, it's an overly-defensive and cowardly mindset that drains the life out of the club. Worst of all, it isn't even effective, we couldn't buy a win last season. Boro will struggle to make the play offs.
