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.

You'll do the usual Ronaldo cycle, i.e. I'm not impressed but it's not as bad as you plebs are making out - it's actually great having a proper manager, unlike the last one - he's a god amongst men and far more handsome than I ever realised actually, can't believe you lot thought Carver would be better - OK it's gone a bit s*** but he's not half as s*** as your hero Coloccini - Right, I'm turning up outside his house to have a word.

:lol: nailed it

I look forward who working with John and Stoney who did a good job in difficult circumstances to keep the club up last season

 

:lol: Fucking wow.

 

That's not real.

 

:lol: Oh thank Christ.

I like McClaren, tbh. I think he will do fairly well here if given good players and/or the finances to pursue talent. Also, a much better face for the club than the Pardew character.There are obviously still persistent  and deep issues with the way NUFC is operated, but the manager's seat will have it's best occupant since September 2008, imo.

Agreed.

I know it doesn't matter, but what kinds of players does McClaren generally sign?

 

Dunno.

 

I know he said this in 2013 though.

 

In England, the manager is in charge of roughly everything in terms of what he wants to do and who he wants to sign. In Holland, I was the trainer and the technical director so I had that responsibility as well. But in Germany I had that general manager in the middle and I'm afraid I didn't adapt to that very well. In the end, that was my downfall.

 

:thup:

He signed some good players for Boro - Viduka, Hasslebaink, Mendieta, Yakubu, Zenden. I think Juninho, too.

 

A little encouraging going through his stats. His losing ratio isn't that bad especially compared to Pardew who lost more games than he won. If you're not going to win, at least draw.

 

Also responsible for Downing, Cattermole and James Morrison's debuts, so he can develop youth. I'm trying to be optimistic. Hopefully it doesn't all go wrong.

Delaying his appointment until after season ticket renewal deadline, class :lol: wonder how many signed up when they announced the extension because they thought it was Vieira

Urgh, I really do think this is the worst case scenario. I doubt I can even get much enjoyment from hating McClaren tbh, he's nowhere near the arsehole Pardew is, or anywhere near as comically incompetent as Carver. I'm just likely going to be bored fucking silly.

 

Aye but what if you end up being entertained by the Football?  I know its now a completely alien concept to us, but I think that's supposed to be the source of enjoyment for Football fans :dontknow:

They are but under McClaren they looked promising. Cattermole at least. Can't remember much of Morrison.

Yeah true, Cattermole looked a promising actor when he started balling his eyes out when the prolific Luke Moore slotted his hat-trick.

Yes, I agree.

 

Also key is that we now have a manager in tune with Carr.

 

There can therefore be no excuses for not getting players in, and on time, and then having them used properly.

 

The first thing to see is whether recruitment improves drastically, now there should be no more discord behind the scenes.

So much delusion.

 

It's unreal. The re-writing of history in particular. Was just browsing BBCs football page on Facebook. Everyone getting a cheap laugh at our expense again. No other club would be this stupid.
