Middlesbrough have already been refused permission to appoint Gareth Southgate as their new boss, according to the League Managers' Association.
Boro chairman Steve Gibson wants club captain Southgate, 35, to replace Steve McClaren who will take over from Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager after the World Cup. However, the former England international is thought to be at least two years away from obtaining the Pro Licence stipulated by the Premier League. And LMA chief executive John Barnwell dismissed Gibson's chances of getting what he wants.
Barnwell said: "They can't do it - it's as simple as that. My understanding is that Middlesbrough have had lengthy discussions with the Premier League over the weekend and they have been flatly refused."
