Mattoon Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I can't see Shteeve joining us in this predicament, why would he come here and risk being in the Championship next season with a worse team than the one he has at the moment? It would be in his best interest to wait and see how things pan out. At least at Derby he gets to call most of the shots, here he gets dictated to, given players to work with and left on the front line to fight all their battles with a toothpick.

cubaricho Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Because the upside here is much better than that at Derby, to be totally fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm not sure McClaren wants to do this. It's hell for any manager now. Ashley's been shamed in the media over these past weeks, there's an awareness of his principles, his purpose and his use of NUFC that wasn't there prior to Pardew going. It unmasked the whole thing. Anyone who signs up for doing his job now will have to answer a f***ing load of questions on Ashley and how they consider working for him. This will apply to McClaren and basically anyone else. He will also know how easy it'll be for the fans to turn on him, the cards are on the table from the off this time. With Pardew, very few knew the details. It's a posionous job, at least in the way Ashley sees it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Only reason to come here is if you're told that there'll be a fairly major change of approach from on high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If he's planning on taking the job regardless then I'd admire his bollocks if he took it now. He could leave it, wait for us to go down and plan a promotion push or he could take it now, back his ability to turn things around quickly and pick up 4 points which would mean he is managing a PL team from the off. It'll say a lot about McClaren's courage and self-belief as to what happens in the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TCD23 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 McClaren would do fuck all if he came in. I doubt any manager could do anything. We don't have a defence now, don't matter who comes in we're screwed. The time for change has gone and our only hope was to get this done January.

Unbelievable Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If they were serious about wanting Steve McClaren all along and they are desperate enough to ask him to come in for the last 3 games to avoid relegation, surely it would simply be a case of saying "it's now or never Steve. We'll look elsewhere if you can't commit to this"? Not saying that would be the right decision, but the club holds all the cards here if McClaren is indeed interested in coming here. If he's not, then what have the club even been doing all this time? What happens if he turns us down, have they just spent 6 months not planning ahead once again? Scratch that, I know the answer.
