Yep. The potential benefits of the appointment far outway the risks imo.
He was as a fantastic leader on the pitch, hard as nails and commanded respect. No reason that he couldn't bring the same qualities as head coach. Having such a well known figurehead would surely make NUFC a more attractive proposistion for players this summer.
McLaren's record at Boro in the PL:
12th, 11th, 11th, 7th (League cup winners), 14th (UEFA finalists). Also got to 2 FA cup semi finals.
Easy to see why this is Ashleys dream appointment
Fully expecting this: 'Charnley and the NUFC board were massively impressed at how Carved handled a turbulent 5 months at SJP eventually guiding the magpies to safety and finishing above north east neighbours Sunderland. Carver will now be given the chance to stay on as head coach'
Feeling quite relaxed about what will happen today.
If we go then I can't feel like we've been hard done by, we will totally deserve it. If not it will be 'meh' that Hull managed to be even worse than us. Whatever
