Aitor Karanka seems unhappy with Everyone

It seems Aitor Karanka is unhappy with everyone on the planet at the moment. It was not a long time back when he had a go at Boro supporters and as if it was not enough, he decided to do the same to Boro owners yesterday.


Karanka reckons his employers have not cooperated with him as much as they should have and it’s because of the lack of cooperation from their side that he couldn’t form a side that he wanted to during the winter transfer window.

Whilst the Welsh FA seems to be setting up a succession policy, the move may not sit well with Coleman. There are indications that the Welsh manager might not remain after the 2018 World Cup, so his employers are merely planning. The FA executed the recommendation of the FAW international committee that Williams was not the best to manage the teens anymore. Continue reading →
