Middlesbrough hire Canadian
A few weeks ago Championship club Middlesbrough sacked their manager Tony Mowbray on what seems to be the basis of incompetence. Well with a list of possible candidates that looked like the best, Chairman Steve Gibson decided to go with someone not on anyone's radar. Boro could have gone with nutjob Paolo Di Canio or even someone like Roberto Di Matteo, but instead went with Canadian Doug McKenzie. Now you are asking who the hell is Doug McKenzie? Here is a little bio about him...
Doug McKenzie was born in a town of Saskatoon, SK in Canada. He is most notably known for playing on the Canadian u21 and u17 squads. He even played if you can call it that for Dundee in Scotland. Previously he was a coach for Toronto FC. If you look at his twitter account; he enjoys Molson Canadian, Hockey, his Bunny Hop (whatever the hell that is), a Texas Mickey (Again what the hell), and soccer (It's football damnit).
Most Boro fans if there is even such thing are a little lost on why McKenzie was hired. One the clubs Facebook page one fan was quoted in saying, "Who the hell is this guy??" Another comment said "see you next year League 1.
McKenzie is now the clubs first foreign born manager and his first match will be 23 November against Leeds.

Neal: Who the hell is Doug Mckenzie, Gibson must have gone mad.
Goonerz4Lyfe: Who the hell hires a ******* Yank to manage a football club. Those fatasses should not even watch this sport, go back and eat McDonalds.
Captain Sensible: @Goonerz, first off what are you 12?? Secondly way to generalize a whole country dipshit!! If you read the article you would clearly see he is Canadian.
Goonerz4Lyfe: @Captain, piss off wanker!
James MFC Tomlinson: Not sure if I like this but what the hell give them a chance.
We Parked The Bus in 2012: Who cares about Middlesbrough, lets talk about real football aka Chelsea.
BaleMeOut: @WeParked dude you have to be kidding me Chelsea really? I doubt you have ever attended a match, anyways McKenzie probably could do a better job than the "Special One"
