Chris Wilder continues to be linked with the Bournemouth job. There would be few tears shed in Middlesbrough.
The light at the end of the tunnel that is the first international break of the season is now clearly visible, and the managerial apocalypse that often seems to come round at such a time has been conspicuous by its absence. Sure enough, Watford went full Watford and offloaded Rob Edwards after just ten games in charge, but on the whole the maelstrom of rumour didn’t swell into anything greater.
Middlesbrough are now in the relegation places in the Championship with ten points from ten games with only Huddersfield Town and Coventry City below them in the table. Amid talk of a breakdown in his relationship with club owner Steve Gibson, Chris Wilder has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League with Bournemouth., this wouldn’t be the first time that Wilder has been linked with a vacant position at another club.
But there can be no disguising how underwhelming Middlesbrough’s start to the season has been. They’ve won just two of their first ten league matches, with defeats against QPR, Reading, Watford and Cardiff. And this makes the persistent rumour of Bournemouth interest all the more curious.
Under normal circumstances, we might expect O’Neil to be given the opportunity to prove his chops on a more permanent basis, but the extra twist in this story is that they may be subject to a takeover from the American businessman and NHL franchise owner Bill Foley. The protracted nature of this takeover may be what is causing the delay in naming a permanent replacement for Parker.
