'Boro for the Premier League!': Fans rejoice after Steve Gibson swaps Jonathan Woodgate for Neil Warnock

The sudden managerial change comes as Boro find themselves deep in relegation trouble after humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.

Middlesbrough are currently level on points with third-bottom Hull City ahead of the final eight games of the Championship campaign, having mustered just nine wins so far this campaign.And on social media, Boro fans and supporters were quick to react to the news…. here’s what YOU said:

@PaulCopley: “Sad for Woody but this just had to happen - I've spent the last few days thinking about League 1 away days next season. It feels now like when Venables came in - utter relief”

@Fr33d3m25: “I’m not ngl I hope Woodgate goes and gets some experience as a manager and comes back when he’s not fresh I like his ideas but he’s clearly not ready.”

@neilbeulah: “Got himself to blame after that team on Saturday.”

@NathanSpafford_: “So Boro for the Premier League in 2021/22.”

@HesapeepingTom: “ Knows that league like the back of his hand and gets teams promoted! May not be the best manager in the Premier League but he knows how to get teams there!”

@jmcglade93: “Things you love to see”

@weareboro: “We’re going up”

@lewismcarthur15: “Middlesbrough promotion pending next season.”

@L18MDV: “Get everything you own on boro going up next year then

@CPS_1992: “He stabilises teams, pushes them towards the top half. As outdated as he may be, he works wonders in Championship.”
