exactly right.

'no interest' in gourvernec according to mark Douglas

Biesla looks likely to go to West ham.

I feel the same. Disaster written all over it that one.

Probably time we reset the poll I reckon.

Laudrup would be a disaster here, said it before, he doesnt last 5 mins wherever he goes, imagine how long he'd last with these fuckers?

interesting, sure ive read he plays positive, attacking football and has done a good job on a tiny budget with them

cant say ive seen him at all this season.

i like huddlestone, realise im in a huge minority.

'Probably'

Rodgers would be unbelievable, won't happen obviously.

Alan Oliver (yep, he's still going) claims it won't be garde or mcclaren. He also claims we'll def go foreign.

exactly. they're fucking clueless man.

he speaks english, 100%, no idea if hes been interviewed speaking english or not.

McClaren's style isn't pretty either (by anyone's definition) and he won the League Cup and the Eredivise. So what? disagree with this part mind, it was some feat, I think theres only him and van gaal who have won it in recent times and havent been in charge of one of hollands big clubs.

or,as Tron says, he may be such a fanny he wont insist on his own men, which renders the whole thing largely pointless.

the positives of mcclaren are he isnt carver, he's won a trophy here and abroad (and whatever anyone says give boro their best period in history), and he will also bring proper bona fide coaches with him (steele, round). erm, after that......... bottom line is, nobody will be vitriolic towards him, just apathetic because we could have done so much better.

It'll be mcclaren now. I've said before I'd have taken him, that was before Derby alarming collapse. We need a statement of intent to stop this horrific slide that surrounds the club. Mcclaren want inspire many. To sum up. Meh. Again.

Yep.

depends which way you look at it i guess. would you take rafa? hardly expansive, in fact, pretty much the opposite, but cracking record, and most would spaff their pants if he came here.

you're right, im fucking barmy me, proper loon.

fair point. in terms of record though, laudrup is as much a mixed bag as mcclaren, in fact, mcclaren has probably achieved more with his twente league win, but I take the point entirely on style. derby are meant to play this free flowing on the floor attacking football, which ive never seen whenever ive watched them.

maybe, yeah, i can see that point. im not saying laudrup is a bad manager by the way, im just saying his record is pretty similar to mcclarens, domestic cup win etc. i just cant see why people are saying yes to laudrup and treating mcclaren like hes the worst thing in the world. theyve both had ups and downs, pretty similar records, except laudrup doesnt last 5 mins anywhere he goes. if you're basing it on managerial ability and record, theres not a lot of difference.

Seriously, you "don't understand" that? nope. care to explain what this huge difference is? between wanting one and detesting the other?

Don't understand why people would want Laudrup and couldn't stand the thought of mcclaren. Their records are pretty similar.
