Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson will do everything in his power to bring club back up, says boss Steve Agnew

Steve Agnew says Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson will be doing 'everything in his power' to ensure their return to the Championship is a temporary one.

The chairman said last week that he intends to 'smash' the second tier next season and he will appoint a new manager in the coming weeks.

Head coach Agnew could yet remain at the club in a coaching capacity, but he says it is the presence of Gibson which gives them the advantage.
