midds Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 If he's given the job I'll reserve judgement on him. He's a mediocre manager who happens to be of better pedigree than the last 5 we've appointed. This. I've got a feeling we all know how it's going to turn out but I want it to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wonder what his name will be on this thread in about 6 months time I'd rather place money on whether his accent changes to French or Geordie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 If we purchase players like we have for the past few windows then McClaren has till about September until the knives are out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm very underwhelmed - we've had a string of worse managers, so that's a relief, but we could've done so much better. I'll support him though, certainly initially. Give him good players and I think he'll do alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 We all moaned when Pardew was here, so lets just enjoy the fact that cunt isn't here anymore. The fact is as long as Ashley is here we will have to put up with this shit, so there's no point getting angry about it anymore. I'm at least satisfied I can start supporting the team again.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Absolutely chronic. was just talking to my dad who sort of skirts the paper talk and he's telling me that we were supposed to be getting some young italian lad who'd coached under some quality coaches, was almost done etc. turns out he meant paul clement "nah dad, he's gone to derby on a 3 year deal, we're getting mclaren who derby sacked" :anguish::anguish: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I don't know why anyone expected this club to appoint anyone good, we've got now ambition :lol: He may be more attacking than Pardew, so we have something to look forward too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Think I'm more annoyed at the thought of Carver and Co still being here. As I said earlier in the week, I'd be much more upbeat at the thought of us at least getting a whole new set of coaching staff. But that would cost money, and apparently we don't have any.

Guest Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 One thing McClaren won't have is any excuses. If we're doing s**** in October and he's moaning about the squad depth or whatever, he knew exactly what he was coming in to. Personally think he'll do okay. I reckon position wise we'll flit between 8th and 13th like we have done on the whole for the last 10 years or so, but we'll actually have our own style of football (good or bad), rather than playing to the other team's tactics. It's as good as we're ever going to get under Ashley. He had a last chance in my eyes to go out get an ambitious manager with some support, but nah. Before people start I'm not saying us being mid-table like that is "ok". I'm saying McClaren is doing an "ok" job, if that's where we are and with a decent style of football given what he's likely to be working with.
