Boro are 2/1 Promotion
Wolves are 4/1 To Stay Up
i.e. right now Boro are more likely than Wolves to be playing in the top tier next season
Interesting choice for him. Wolves is a bit of a free hit - nobody will blame him if they go down and he’d have a big Championship budget to play with the season after
But Boro is a great place to manage, they have a good owner who will back you and give you time (Carrick was there a while).
Similar-ish stuff happened with Kieran McKenna when Ipswich were flying. He stayed and took them up, now they’re back fighting to get in top 6 again in the Championship.
