I think we all have mate. Yep, this is what I always said about him. Thing I didn't realise was that none of it was to do with actually knowing what he's doing with tactics etc, it was just keeping the lads happy when someone in the team happens to win a game for him. How much of management is down to 'tactics'? I think someone like SMC is a good coach but perhaps a poor tactician and has poor motivation skills. Pardew seems pretty poor at everything but can whip up tremendous team spirit and is generally liked by players. I don't know TBH. How important a manager is in general is something that's hard to quantify. If you gave Steve Arsenal's squad he would get into the Champions League quite easily I imagine. This season has raised a lot of those type of questions. The manager is just one piece in the puzzle of the club. We have an embedded culture of failure, and bad transfer policy, so any manager has a hard job on. Then again, to relegate a squad containing as many good players as this would seem to be something uniquely awful on the face of it. TBH I don't know how important a manager is, 'it depends' is probably the best answer. This post made a lot of us sad. at McClaren getting Arsenal in the Champions League. They'd be where Chelsea are now if they had that arse cake in charge.

It is and I have been saying it for months but he still hasn't. We will know in the next 48 hours but I'm not holding my breath. My one hope is that with the money spent it must be near the time his trigger finger will be getting itchy. He won't do it but of course he should. He should boot Charnley out at the same time otherwise we'll end up with McClaren MKII if they do pull the trigger... http://i.imgur.com/mlljbXn.png http://u.goal.com/118600/118675_hp.jpg

McClanger: We have to dusk ourselves down.

Really? Leicester did and it's worked wonders for them. We might operate a little differently but we'll never know if we could get a good foreign manager unless we try.

Applauding them off is the fans equivalent of us saying that, agreed.

It is... but who would come in? Nobody worth their salt is feasibly available and the ones that are available aren't any better than Schteve... I fear we're furked... Sounds daft and unrealistic, sure, but we should just throw everything we have at getting Benitez in. If Leicester can get Ranieri we should be looking to get a similar type of change.

Can't argue with that. Hated Pardew more than Souness which is quite an achievement on his part.

Thanks for subjecting us to that toilet of a 90 minutes lads, you gutless fucks.

Could be worse. I put Doumbia up front.

FUCKIN' WHEEEEYYYY!!

I can't wait until this team is dismantled of the regulars. Starting to hate the lot of them.

It's amazing. Clueless tossers.

His defensive contribution is pathetic, really pathetic. You say that like everyone else has put in a good display

He's not really gonna say much else if he wants his nice cushy job here.

For fucks sake man. It's not even funny how shit we are anymore.

Big fat bucket of wank tits.

Agreed. One of many defeatist managers we've had here over the last 11 years.

Exquisite Bulldog from Taylor there.

Beaten before we left the tunnel. 6-0 FT.

Beat me to it. Literally McClaren's reaction

That poll is shocking
