Michael Carrick available

Just sacked by Middlesbrough. Would anyone take him and would he come?

I would if none of names mentioned actually come off

I'd have him above any of the names mentioned tbh and no pay off required. Whether we could attract him is another question.

Not going to stopp as low as us in league 1 with a maniac owner with a low budget

Too good a manager for this club

100% agree, why would any ambitious young coach, Tan has made Cardiff a poisoned chalice.

Middlesbrough have sacked head coach Michael Carrick after two-and-a-half years in charge.

The former England midfielder, 43, took over at the Championship side in October 2022 for his first role in management.

He guided the team to a play-off finish in 2022-23 but they have missed out on the top six in the past two campaigns.

Carrick's assistants Jonathan Woodgate and his brother Graeme Carrick have also left the club.

Boro spent much of the 2024-25 season challenging for a play-off spot but one win in their final six matches proved to be costly.

They stayed in the hunt for a top-six place until the final game of the season but defeat at Coventry saw them finish 10th.

His departure means that 17 of last season's 24 Championship teams have changed manager since August last year.

If Carrick was a candidate, he'd be my number one choice.
But I don't think he'll be a candidate!!
