KaKa Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Okay, we'll see what happens I guess. Think it's a joke comparing McClaren to Pardew, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So much delusion from so many. No wonder others laugh. Delusion in terms of what? Differing opinions on the club's yet to be appointed manager? I don't think anyone has taken Ashely's talk of trophies and the Champion's League seriously. Unless you are referring to views not expressed on this forum, I don't understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here and elsewhere the sudden change in tone, in the last day or so, of the many trying desperately to convince themselves and others that this is a good appointment. It's indicative of where we are as a club and a fan base and where we shall remain as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 bit odd they're being so persistent in chasing him but if they know who they want they know who they want. All in all I'm not unhappy with him coming in but it doesn't exactly cause much joy either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's indicative of where we are as a club and a fan base and where we shall remain as a club. Reality isn't based solely in your opinion. I simply believe that McClaren is good at his job (not a revolutionary world class talent, but overly competent and very experienced), which is not a statement that has anything to do with the state of the club. It a statement which exists in a vacuum. Whether or not he will be able to have an impact on the malaise the club currently finds itself in is something that depends on a litany of other factors.

newsted Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So we begged him and begged him, even when we knew he was with someone else, and only when he got dumped did he say "OK, I'll give it a go". Then added "After I've been away for a bit". This will end well. We need a stern father. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 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. 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. Yeah but It’s not a case of someone getting the job because he’s a friend of a friend or he knows someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people here who have argued from the start that he wouldn't be a terrible appointment. I think everyone agrees we should do better though, that hasn't changed either afaics.

Yeah but It’s not a case of someone getting the job because he’s a friend of a friend or he knows someone. It's not even that their friends for me, but that they respect each others work. McClaren will value Carr's ability, and will better appreciate the players being brought in, and will be more involved in tha process, and have discussions with him about how to maximise their performances when they join, rather than keep harping on about Bent and Tomkins like that previous idiot did. Okay the setup hasn't worked so far, but from my viewpoint that was largely down to Pardew's lack of real ability or ingenuity. Carr has been trying to get in the kind of players we want to see, but the manager had no interest in ever trying to play the football we want to see. it was a major disconnect.

B-more Mag Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's just the same shit all over again. It this point it's lunacy to expect Ashley to change. We're not going to get a hungry young manager with a penchant for attractive football. Even if we did, for the sake of argument, every transfer window would be the same low ball offers, stringing things out to the last minute, and the window closing with needs left unmet. There is no use listening to any words that come out of Ashley's mouth or his puppets' mouths. It's all proven to be so much watery stool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wanted Garde but I'm not pissed off at signing McClaren. Out of all the managers we've been linked with he's arguably the man best suited to reap rewards from the way the clubs transfer policy works. I think if Carr could hand McClaren another group of players equal in quality to Cabaye, Debuchy, Yanga Mbiwa, Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Santon, etc then I'd do a 180 degree turn and buy a season ticket for next year. So assuming McClaren signs, we now have a manager who can work within our transfer policy. He should be able to get the most out of our current squad, or at least more than Pardew did. And he isn't a grade a cunt who makes you want to punch the telly every time he comes on. I'd be reasonably happy with the appointment if Mike Ashley would spend the rest of the summer NOT selling the likes of Sissoko, but bringing in proven quality players to play along side him. But let's face it that ain't happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
