Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't hold any ill will whatsoever towards McClaren for 'turning us down'. 100% of the embarrassment and shame of that lies with the club. Aye. Thing is when he first turned us down, the club was levels above McClaren. Should never have been in the running back then so to turn us down then, fair play to him imo. This time, we're about his level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The comment about "everyone being about even" re the finances of teams in the Premier League - very refreshing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So he was in a managerial role elsewhere. No. He'd been shifted upstairs. He'd been shifted upstairs by January 1997 when Keegan quit? Stand corrected, was the end of that season. Still have no issue with McClaren honouring a contract though. Not that I believe NUFC had any intention of paying compensation if he'd show a willingness to walk out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 My issue was with you erroneously bringing Bobby into it. I agree re. McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 My issue was with you erroneously bringing Bobby into it. I agree re. McClaren. Not sure why? 2 managers that stayed with their current clubs when approached by NUFC, no-one gave a shit about the previous snub when Robson did eventually come. I've no problem if someone is happy Robson came despite a snub cos he's great and Peaved McClaren came despite a snub because he's shit. But the snubs aren't the issue, it's the quality of managerr and they're stirring shit going on about "turning us down" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McClaren snubbed us while at Championship club Derby, maybe it's unfair as he did have an association with the club before managing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Moody Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He came across really well on the radio tonight. Agreed. I'm conflicted. Hate the management of the club, hate the owner, don't believe a word of Ashley's interview the other week. But he came across well, and I feel like he'll actually try and win some games. Our previous manager/coach didn't bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but McClaren was probably on a better basic wage at Derby than he is at NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 One thing I want to see is exciting players – a bit of pace, a bit of speed and individualism. This crowd has always had a No 9-style player and it’d be great to get one of them in. My team should always have attitude, always have fight, always play football and always play with a certain style and flair because I think that’s what Newcastle demands. They should always play attacking football. But ultimately, you know, it’s about the result. Sounds good. 'I have always managed teams that have played attacking, positive football.' 'All my teams are organised and are on the front foot, looking to win the game.' 'I don’t want to be finishing seventh or eight every year, and he knows that. He knows what I am like.' 'Mike knows me, he knows I have fallen out with chairmen before – that’s because I want to win things.' We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 For those who don't realise, those Pardew quotes are from when he had just been appointed NUFC manager, not Crystal Palace. Dave's point (I think) is absolutely spot on, talk is cheap, the proof is in the pudding and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 No problem with McClaren honouring his Derby contract. I do however have a problem with us targetting him in the first place. Don't get me wrong, he's not a terrible manager but he's pretty mediocre. Maybe something will click for him and he'll do well, but there's a terrible lack of ambition surrounding this appointment.
