Sends a shiver down my spine, that. The clip of this lot man

Class appointment tinged with the frustration that this should have been done after Chelsea. 18 days and Stoke, Bournemouth followed. Massively frustrating Edit: Could have joined the squad in La Manga, so frustrating

These sound Mackems metal is about to be tested

Where's dat battling relegation experience tho

Hate this uncertainty wish it was just done either way. D day tomorrow

Anyone know what his preferred formation is? Is his style mainly pragmatic? Would like to hear someone with a bit knowledge to get an idea of how he would set us up

Hopefully the players say this when he walks in day 1 and raise their game 10 levels

Has Ryder not confirmed this is wide of the mark yet?

Might be a scenario of Cathro in charge for Leicester with Benitez in the stands

:lol:

Hopefully just ironing out compensation etc

Quite easily actually, they can vote him off. Without it going to an embarrassing and expensive tribunal? He's probably not even on the board. This is my thinking, would he need be a director firstly? McClaren is a Director of the football club. Just had a chuckle to myself reading this, I mean what a f****** shambles. We hired the bloke as a director man Steve Clueless McClaren on the board with Bob Moncur, the mysterious Graham Carr and Penfold

They haven't even had the balls to release a statement, just a pathetic club insider leaking a message of "business as usual" to a few journalists

I thought us actively wanting to lose games would be gone with Pardew and Carver but no, it's back again

Aye a Sam Allardyce team could have sent us down on the last day of last season but he failed miserably to get his West Ham team motivated to do anything in that game. Different situation now of course but I can see Sunderland being ultra defensive against us and it will lead to a very cagey game.

I think we're the only club on the face of the planet who in this scenario would seriously have the current head coach in charge for the next game. This club

We love a "next 24 hours" or the "next 48 hours". Stating the obvious but Sky aren't all over this because absolutely f*** all is happening or probably will happen

Not getting sacked today then

Think they care more about Sharapova

Still there

I think Pardew despite being the absolute fraud he is would have probably had 6-7 more points on the board than McClaren

#wait

Bring it on tbh. We all can see what's coming anyway and watching this club crash and burn around the likes of Charnley and Carr will be hugely gratifying.

Look at the clubs Twitter, the last update was on full time on Saturday. Since then they've put nothing out, no interviews with McClaren, the players or anything else. Good sign? Admittedly I'm clutching at straws like I think he's gone and the delay is because a replacement is being sorted
