Unbelievable

I've never swayed on this like, it's better that Carver and Stone are gone but who gives a f***. A thoroughly underwhelming appointment that will achieve the fat w*****'s aims and nowt else. If the football's a touch better then great, because I've wondered for a while why I watch it every week now. Still thoroughly disinterested compared to previously and that interest will only decrease while we voluntarily tread water, and this decision's very much part of that.

What a pillock

This is the thing. If he was solid in interviews, honest and didn't use the memories of club legends to further his cause there'd be some sympathy. That would be the case, even if the results were bad, but just a little bit less terrible than they actually were. What happened though was shameless pandering from him, saying the club would back him, that people were watching over him etc. Then he made every incorrect tactical call in the book, played multiple players out of position at all times and lost almost every game. He was rubbish at the job, made the club even more of a laughing stock and still thought he was owed the job somehow just because he was here a long time. He even seemed to talk about it like the job was his. There's no sympathy from me here, because even though I could forgive him being incompetent to some degree, I can't forgive the way he acted in the job.

His fault was having his tongue so far up this regime's arse that he failed to realise he will be shafted just like we all have been for years. He can spend the rest of his life with the bitter aftertaste...

On the flip side, it shows that they were willing to pay off the idiots after all, so that makes it even more baffling that out off all the candidates they have gone for McClaren.

Haha, yes! Good to see Carver's gamble backfired. He should really have done the honourable thing in January and told the club he wasn't up for the job and they should instead go after a proper manager. A fan of the club my arse. Fuck off and don't let the door hit you on your way out you moron.

That's the impression I get. Would much rather we went for Ings.

Possibly this has something to do with the fan forum insisting he come to a fan forum meeting considering he is (was) a board member? Either way, it doesn't change anything at all.

Looks painful.

neesy on the piss or on the piss take?

How have Barcelona ended up with so many cunts in their team man FFS?

Fuck off you fucking cheating pricks.

Wat? Alves was all over him man Barely touched him man.

Wat? Alves was all over him man

FFS. Huge injustice after that pen decision

Should be a pen

How? Was a good save imo. Just unlucky. Needs to parry it behind or away.

Ter Stegen not looking strong there imo.

Game on

World class

Wishful thinking imo, considering he was meant to have hailed Derby's performances as fantastic no matter how good or bad they were and regardless of the result. I've said it before, but after four years I wouldn't be surprised if McClaren was hated as much as Pardew. Either that or he will have been let go for not being sufficiently abnoxious.

Exactly The rest of that post is fair enough but it only focuses on how we would react if we had attracted a foreign coach who had achieved the good things McClaren has without the obvious bad patches in his record and coming of the back of a period of five years of (mostly) failing, which provides a false picture.
