'Class act Viveash needs to be kept at Boro'

We asked you who you'd like to see next as Boro boss and there were many names being thrown in the hat.

But one thing is for sure, there's a lot of love for interim boss Adi Viveash at the Riverside.

Here is what you had to say about the 56-year-old:

Neil: This is a strong, well-balanced squad with an experienced coach who has the respect of the players - keep Adi Viveash in the role if he wants it.

Colin: Viveash was obviously the reins behind Mark Robins. He should be given a chance, if he wants it. Otherwise the club must prevail upon him to stay at the Riverside as number two to whoever they choose and insist that the new head coach accepts that. The man is a diamond!

Graham: I'd love to see us go for someone like Steven Gerrard or Ralph Hassenhutl, but whoever we get it needs to be someone who wants to be here and is likely to stay.

When we had Michael Carrick, his name was mentioned every time a Premier League club sacked a manager, but at least he stayed.

Also, whoever it is, we need to keep Adi Viveash at the Boro. The man is a class act.

Colin: I don't think we should rush it. Adi Viveash is a really safe pair of hands and might be good at it. There are not many out of work candidates at the moment but the managerial roundabout usually gets going towards Christmas and some suitable candidates might unexpectedly become available.

Peter: Keep Adi Viveash in charge, with someone over him to do the PR, press and has a love for Boro. So Bryan Robson or Tony Mowbray, and let Viveash choose the rest of the coaching team around. And leave like that for the rest of the season. This gives Boro months to see how the season goes and to do some proper succession planning. UTB.

Graham: Aaron Danks and Viveash two brilliant football minds coming together. Steve Gibson may tempt him back with an offer of managers job, a step up from his coaching role at Bayern Munich. Big ask but if you don't try you will never know.
