Lush Vlad Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It will be like with England. He won't resign as he knows he'll get a golden handshake, once he gets the bullet. Can't say I blame him, I'm not sure how I would react in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 When people say he's a good coach what does that mean? Can put the cones out? Tell people about tactics? Doesn't seem specified. A managers role is very multifaceted buts very apparent what one is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A managers role is very multifaceted buts very apparent what one is. I imagine it's things like designing drills, thinking of ways to make the sessions engaging and enjoyable, shit like that .

Mattoon Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He's blatantly not going anywhere and they'll be relying on the 18 day break for any ire to subside rather than use the time effectively in developing a plan to avoid relegation, typical Ashley. We're dicing with the drop and it's nothing less than he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can see at times we might do some decent passing and moving drills.... in our own half though. You see with a Pardew side or a Big Sam side - the players don't do much training with the ball. Possession play looks spontaneous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hog Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 A few more rags coming out today as saying Schteve could be out if we fail at Stoke, I just don't the point at that stage. Sacking him anything later than this current 18 day break would be pointless, no potential incoming manager would be able to turn things around in the remaining time after Stoke.

Disco Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm genuinely surprised he's not received any stick from the stands. Strange given I think that if sufficient pressure were to be placed on him he'd f*** off. I guess this is the reason why. From NUFC.com The lack of rage directed towards McClaren is a sign of fans becoming resigned to their fate, mirroring the indifference of many players. Repeat watching of this dross does eventually break your spirit. Genuine anger at our plight isn't to be found in the stands, with tickets taken by stoics, pisspots and lunatics. Ranting malcontents have stood aside, to be replaced by increasing numbers of young lads, daft enough to turn out at this time for those prices. Which, of course, is exactly what MA and his cronies want. Full enough stands of accepting customers who aren't willing to voice complaint at the sub-standard product on offer. Those who would have gone or simply don't care enough to do so anymore as they know it will fall on deaf ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play well, get a result. Then we just carry on with our shit form and nothing actually changes. We can't persevere with a manager, who can get a team to play decent attacking football at home, when everything falls right. Yet constantly get battered away from home. If we stick with him, we are basically gambling on winning enough games at home, to keep us up. He'll clearly still be in charge next season, if we stop up, which makes staying up seem a bit pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm a bit more confident that Ashley will sack this bag of patatoes compared to Ashley sacking Pardew. All because of the fat bastard's greed for the new tv money. He's going to do it but hoping he does it quickly before anymore defeats and it's too late.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ashley just appointed this guy on a long contract, appointed him to the board and signed players for him. Seems incredibly unlikely he'll be sacked any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Banaloona Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Even though Pardew's tenure was drab, with long losing streaks etc, at no point were we embedded in the bottom 3 at this stage of a season (albeit floating between 13th and 16th). For that alone McClaren needs sacking and I for one can see (hope) Ashley pulling the trigger. What I don't get though is why wait until after Stoke. As if one more game is going to condemn him, we've seen enough. He's dog turd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem unable to accept their mistakes, rather than swallow their pride and change the manager they appointed. They'd rather keep going hoping it'll work out. Ridiculous but it's happening before our eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Stick or twist mike, stick or twist. It's the perpetual emitting of vibes from the club that there's never anything wrong and never any reason to panic I find most infuriating I think. It's like they set a plan in the summer and shut up shop September 1st to December 31st, then shut back down again at the start of February until May. They're all fucking holed up in a basement like Howard Hughes with a Netflix account while the world burns around them. Enraging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems incredibly unlikely he'll be sacked any time soon. Well, you could twist that in another way. He appointed him on a long contract and to the board in hope that it would be a fresh start after the Pardew/Carver era and after just escaping the drop on the last day last season. The first signs that Ashley was getting nervy was letting us be the biggest spenders in the league, if not Europe this past January. He would have hoped that giving McClaren the money to spend on players McClaren wanted, again another sign as Pardew wasn't trusted as much, would atleast steer the club away from danger. Things haven't improved. And won't improve under McClaren. Like others have said, why wait for another defeat at Stoke to sack him when it could be done now? Unless Ashley gets the replacement ready during this 18 days and wait for the inevitable loss at Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly now is the time, maybe Ashley will attend Stoke again, Steve will cry on the touchline and at the end of the match Ashley will mouth something like he's gone and then nothing will happen.
