Middlesbrough had money from parachute payments that they didnt blow, money still from Europe and the league cup exploits that they didnt just squander. When they got relegated they had a few average seasons where they did nothing to write home about. But now gibson is willing to spend big and chase, he's rebuilt the club.


Dean is in a position where we dont have huge amounts coming in other than sales, we shoot ourselves in the foot with all this sponsorship crap being minuscule amounts. We're too busy trying to be a community club helping little businesses out, that we've taken our eye of the one thing that matters and as such we are dragging our feet trying to catch up again, we're going to need one huge window spree in winter or next summer like we did when dh took over. We probably need a few more football heads on the board and probably a boardroom shuffle. Too many on there have interests in other facets of the club that arent football related and its showing in the decisions we make.
