WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's a member of the board, too. Along with Carr and Moncur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 To be honest, I think that's quite a promising press release. He must've been promised some quite significant investment. Here's hoping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Seems like we didn't quite learn our lesson with all those 8 year deals then How the hell is that supposed to work, anyway? If he does well in the first three (top 8, win a cup?), does that mean there's an automatic 5 year add on? Or will he be on a one year rolling contract after that? Anyway, I'm glad that the initial deal is only for three years, makes him very sackable (to even have to write this fifteen minutes after he has been appointed ), which was always a big problem with Pardew.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 any mention of transfer kitty? Really? Well, you won't find any more distrustful than me, but the cup ambition is easy to fake/lie about. In the short term, money is the easiest way to prove them as liars/reformed. Not a chance in hell they'd mention money available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If he wins a cup he can have 10 years for me. Love how he mentioned having resources and support. Dream on :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Sky reporters said that supporters were positive towards McClaren then they showed several interviews with fans which ranged from lukewarm to indifference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So if we are performing poorly under McClaren what happens at board level? "So we need to sack the manager, close your ears Steve you might not like this...." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 at least its 3 years only If he wins his first couple of games that'll be extended And thats just the friendlies against Gateshead and the under 21's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They love putting their eggs in one basket, don't they? He might not have an 8-year deal but him being on the board gives him some serious job security, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I like the bloke and rate him higher than say Moyes for example, but his appointment does nothing to solve the fundamental problems at the club. Sure performances will improve and so will results, but only marginally. McClaren is a likeable face of NUFC and that is it which is what I think Ashley wants more than most. He will ensure survival, probably mid-table finishes and the odd cup run, but that's about it. Basically a black and white version of Boro under McClaren minus Euro success and a trophy because we don't do them. I'm not supporting this NUFC because its still not my NUFC. Its Ashley out all the way for me, regardless of who he appoints, signs and how well we do. The last 8 years have been awful, like being constantly ill or in a fucked up relationship. There is nothing he can do to wipe that particular slate clean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
