Did I spot Carrick at the FA Youth cup final taking notes?
I believe he was writing poetry.
Current 1/2 favourite for the Swindon job. Would imagine he'd be expected to get promotion from League 2 if true.
I've also been curious about his next job since he starts resurfacing as a guest pundit for a few PL games, and the only thing I've learned so far is to ignore betting odds, he's been the favorite for quite a few jobs now - and all turned out to be local rumours leading to people putting a few quid in.
For all we know, he might not have been looking for a managerial job at all. He only retired as a player in 2017 and must have been on decent money as the first name on the team sheet for a decade. Probably could afford to enjoy his life waiting for the right opportunity. Or maybe just don't fancy the pressure and will be the no 2 at either Ole or Rooney's next job.
He's the next Middlesbrough manager according to OneBoro's resident ITK poster, whom they all seem to trust.
Good opportunity for him to prove himself if true. He's a Geordie so he's kinda local as well. Or maybe that's not a good thing considering the rivalry? Didn't Steve Bruce get treated quite badly by Sunderland fans for being a Geordie?

He's odds on to be manager with bookmakers, has been for a few days so definitely something in it.
Be good to see him at a reasonably big club like Boro.
Good luck to him. As an armchair expert, him and Mackenna were to blame for everything bad while Ole was coach but I hope he does well at Boro.
Hope he does well.
Ah that means that rat faced cnut Wilder has been sacked? Good. Feck him!!
And good luck to Carrick!
And good luck to Carrick!
From living in the North East for 15 years, there is a rivalry but nowt like the Sunderland and Newcastle rivalry. Might be more of a thing when they are in the same division again (Newcastle and Boro I mean) but he should be fine.
Very pleased for him and agree it's a very good club to go try and prove himself at. Hope he does really well.
Middlesbrough vs Newcastle is a North-east derby but it doesn't have the animosity that Newcastle vs Sunderland has.
1/10 on SkyBet and betting suspended on BetVictor now. Probably a done deal.
According to Boro fans, apparently he turned them down initially when he insisted on bringing Phelan and Meulensteen with him, while they wanted to force Leo Percovich and Lee Cattermole (remember him!?) on him. They then went on to lose two games and will probably now accept his demands.
I know Phelan is a bit of a joke figure on the caf these days, but surely Carrick-Phelan-Meulensteen would be a very qualified management team for the Championship.
Why didn’t Boro go for Ole the wheel master though? 
All the best to him. I think he'll do well.
Yh I mean Phelan and Rene have managed albeit not with huge success at a higher level & Carrick seems a switched on guy.
Same as with McKenna, hope to see them both earn their way back into the PL as managers.
Because he's not interested in managing Boro?Why didn’t Boro go for Ole the wheel master though?
When you realize that Carrick is getting a new job before Ole.Why didn’t Boro go for Ole the wheel master though?
We paid Ole £7.5m severance, he’s nearly 50 - he’s not working againWhen you realize that Carrick is getting a new job before Ole.
Why didn’t Boro go for Ole the wheel master though?
Who said he's desperate for a job? He turned down PL offers. Stop being obsessed.When you realize that Carrick is getting a new job before Ole.
Waiting for Bayern to call I am sure.
Phelan and Rene are definitely good enough to be on the staff at Boro. Taking on Carrick as manager is a massive risk though, so fair play.
I very much doubt Ole is desperate for a job, but which PL offers has he turned down?
They weren't named, but Burnley was rumoured to be one of them.
All the best to him. Hope they achieve great things there.
Don't do it Micky! Don't tarnish your reputation before you even start. That club is a real poison chalice.
The irony of saying this as a United fan.

Can someone perhaps start a new "Michael Carrick - Middlesbrough manager" thread? Rooney and McKenna both already have their own threads for their managerial careers. I can't start threads or embed tweets as a newbie.
they probably weren’t named because they didn’t exist.
if Burnley was one it would’ve been a good job for him pretty much guaranteed to come back up.
Which would purely be a choice, because he could easily manager another 20 years if he was successful and enjoyed it.
Ole got offered the Iranian national job and turned it down.When you realize that Carrick is getting a new job before Ole.
Think they may be holding out for Wreck-It Ralf as he'll be able to build their club from the ground up and he does amazing pressers.Why didn’t Boro go for Ole the wheel master though?
Im sure he could get a similar level job to Carrick or McKenna if he really wanted to although his hands off management style probably isn’t what a lot of these clubs want.
