Unhappy Karanka

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:35 pm

Just read this:

Aitor Karanka has taken a swipe at Middlesbrough, saying they have failed to land the transfer targets he identified to the board six weeks ago. Karanka, who was almost monosyllabic at times during his lunchtime news conference, was asked by Sky Sports News HQ if he expected want-away winger Gaston Ramirez to be here beyond the transfer deadline and replied: "I don't care".

Video of interview makes for very awkward viewing. Looks like he's thrown his toys out the pram... not for the first time!

Unbelievable. As if you can address the world media with a spoilt child retort of "I don't care. "

He is an absolute shitlord.

I would absolutely love to see him take them down (if he doesn't jump ship first of course).

He won't see the season out. They have spent an awful lot of money to play sideways football.

He and Bamford seem well suited to each other.

I hope he remains at the club for as long as possible. If they got a half decent manager in, I think they'd stay up.

I can't follow what most managers in the Premier League say. I don't understand how they deliver a team talk. It's all 'important moments " this and "situation " that

Where did he say ''I don't care''? I just watched the link posted and it didn't mention Ramirez.

So I just watched the interview. Firstly no issue with his first two answers, then secondly, I think his answer regarding Rhodes is misunderstood. His basic point is he's focused on the game, and the mechanics of the ins and outs are someone else's concern.

Nothing to see here......

I think Tony is on about a different interview because the one linked in post 3 doesn't mention Ramirez, it's Rhodes.
You're right though, he definitely doesn't say ''I don't care'' he says ''I don't know and I don't want to know'' a misunderstanding.

Apart from blatantly slagging your pay masters off for not signing the players he wanted. It's not like they didn't back him in the summer.

The man is a tool.

So his transfers from the summer haven't worked out?
Not really surprised, plenty of us predicted that he'd got it wrong.

Now hes complaining that the club haven't got the deals done that he requested?
Welcome to the real world sunshine, where it isn't always about wages, but when it is you'll lose out.

Where have all the Boro/Karanka lovers gone from the summer window. I see some of them still post but seem to be keeping quiet about our transfer dealings compared to Boro's transfer dealings.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:50 pm

Karanka basically wants Boro to spunk a load of cash on players and then pay them 100K+ a week, not a clue how to cut his cloth accordingly and is becoming more and more like Moanrinhio. I wouldn't swap our manager for any of them

He's generally known for standing by his managers isn't he, giving them a fair chance etc?

agreed, this lot are shocking. Sean Dyche by comparison is a football saint, rarely complains, if he is unhappy, he expresses his opinion with tact and diplomacy.
Football is better off for the likes of our manager, what a scummy collective the others are. Detestable individuals with no class.

I really like the way he has already admitted that signing Bamford has not improved the squad.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 8:55 am

Makes you realise just how professional and considered Dyche is given some of the frustrations he's had at Burnley with transfers. Very rarely did he publicly show it, and got on with his job. Brilliantly.
There would have been a good few managers who would've jumped ship and thrown their toys, and since then he's starting to see the rewards.

Ric_C · Post by **Ric_C** » Fri Feb 03, 2017 8:02 pm

I thought his comment last season was really odd. Something along the lines of "if I'd had Burnleys team they'd be promoted by Christmas "

In his crazy brain I think he was trying to say he was a better manager than Dyche. But what effect would that have on his players? He speaks before he thinks, that's his main problem.

"I don't know why, but everybody is really good against us."

Erm, here's a thought for you Karankie, might it be that not everybody is really good against the boro, it's just that your lot are a bit sh it ?
