Wardy1963 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Haven't posted for ages. (So p***d off with everything NUFC). I still won't go back until I see real evidence of investing in true growth and development in the club. However, I think McLaren deserves to be given a chance. Yes, he has recent failings. However in his career - he also had huge achievements - both as a coach and manager (no need to repeat them). I still don't believe a word about what the FCB says - actions truly do, speak louder than words!!!! But, at least Carver and Stone leaving suggests that thing might be moving for the better. I think supporters should get behind the new head coach at the start of the season, as long as there has ALSO been progressive investment in the woefully under-strength and short of numbers squad. BUT, I'm not holding my breath!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Whatever McClaren is, he's professional. He's not a chancer like Pardew or Carver, and that alone is cause for a modicum of optimism. He speaks well, he conducts himself well, and by all accounts knows his stuff. I just sincerely hope we're one of his 'hits' and not misses, like at Forest.

cubaricho Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Apologies if giggs but this is a decent read - http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-mcclaren-newcastle-united-boss-9437243 WHEN WILL YOU FIRST MEET THE PLAYERS? I’ll try and ring round to speak to them. Steven Taylor is here now so I’ve caught up with him. Of course he is, fucking Steven Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Steve McClaren deserve a chance at managing a club he has no association with in a town he has no association with? He's either been sacked or walked away from his last 5 jobs which he was failing at and he's turned the job down twice when in less than 6 months when it suited him to do so. Really, he shouldn't be anywhere near the club and he definitely does not deserve the job, far from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Pretty impressive. Only failed to score in 15 from 83 games. Pardew failed to score in 15 of his last 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Said all the right things, but he's no bull shitter, he'll know the job having seen us rocking at it's best and being beaten by Sir Bobby's teams. I like the clean slate bit which he'd of course say but would love to see Sylvain and Mehdi get their fair chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So nice to hear a manager not talking shit and not overly using clichés. Never once mention "needing the fans". The players won't know what to do now there's someone working with them on the training ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Good article up with McClaren talking about the current players and last year's injuries. A breath of fresh air man. This one at the very least has something between his ears. Pretty sure there was a time when Pardew came across well and was considered a breath of fresh air as well..... Absolutely not. Never. Except it was, right after that talk in where he spoke of a defender who could score 6 a season, trying to sign Debuchy and whole manner of positive things. The large majority were positive about him around that point, the same will happen with McClaren don't be deluded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someone new comes in, who is well respected as being a good coach, gets rid of the old staff, says some positive intentions in every interview, and your not even willing to give him a chance?

He doesn't deserve anything, all he's done so far is waffle on. He's saying the right things today which is good but nothing that anybody else in his position wouldn't be doing.

I wouldn't have given him the chance of taking the job after he's turned us down twice and failed again at another club. On giving him a change, I've got no option now that he has the job and I hope he does well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Why does Bobby Rosbson get credit for turning us down when he wasn't even in a managerial role elsewhere, but McClaren gets hammered for committing to his current club when connected to us?
