When discussing Woodgate, host Colin Murray said: “The spotlight is on him.”

Powell replied: “Middlesbrough have decided to go a different way, they have brought in experienced managers in the past.

“Now they have brought in a rookie manager, a hero to the area so hopefully he will be given the time to express himself and get used to management in the Championship.”
