Steve McClaren

[Darth Crooks]

The squad is always a gnats tadger from being tripe - see the lb and ch situation. Shelves gets injured you're back to one of Colback, Anita and whoever saivet is. The quality in the squad is confined to mbemba and about 10 people trying to occupy 2 positions. So badly put together with a bad manager to boot. It's a sure fire ticket to downsville, wankershire.

[Wallace]

Squad wasn't too bad to begin with. It's atrocious that he's been given all these players and all this time. It's criminally stupid of Ashley not to sack him and a big risk. Shows how much he hates changing managers. Having a spokes person pretending to manage a football club is tough on his asset if it's only broadcasted in the Championship. He'll have to choose soon.

I will predict now that this warmwarm weather training camp will have opposite to the desired effect.  The players will come back thinking they have worked really hard and that all they have to do is just turn up and try to replicate what they practised in la manga.  The problem being Stoke City couldn't give a toss how hard we have worked in Spain and will we will be stuffed yet again.

 

Don't we usually get beat after we've been away on these trips?

I remember Pardew taking us on at least one warm weather camp that led to us looking completely shite aye.

Ollie Bernard is scathing of McClaren in today's Chron

It’s extremely disconcerting that, by the middle of February, McClaren still doesn’t know his best system or his best starting XI.

 

In fact, it’s comical.

 

I don’t think there’s any real coaching going on, that’s the most concerning thing really.

[themanupstairs]

There's probably over-coaching going on tbh. To the point where it's detrimental to morale, or just too much information to absorb.

[astraguy]

Asked where the responsibility for their slump down the table lies, he said: "At my door." And its going to be again Mike

Can see Ashleyout.com coming back into the fray after some quiet time.

That's very true what Bernard says regarding being reliant on the odd individual, nothing suggest these lafs work for each other.

 

There isn't enough heat on McClaren a the minute, so he will just sail into the next fixture.

 

The press should be all over him, but this is a regular thing with us in the bottom and calling for every managers head, so perhaps they are finally bored with us.

Guardian reckon he's 'running out of time'.

We can hope.

Two more games mentioned. Farcical when there are so few left.

If we get chinned off Stoke he's away I think.

[r0cafella]

They mentioned Rafa, Brenda and Moyes too

[Odear]

I would take Brenda over Moyes any day of the week, Rafa would have to be paid an obscene amount to even consider it.

Why would you want Rodgers over Moyes.

Moyes is in a rut, he was laughed out of Spain, laughed out of Manchester.. he found a comfort zone at Everton, who despite being mediocre have always been a far more stable club than us. I don't dislike the guy but that's no reason to want him in as a manager. Rodgers went a bit flat at Liverpool but was he really doing any worse than Klopp is now?

 

I don't particularly like Rodgers but I reckon his ideas may get more enthusiasm from our bunch, the rotten wasters..

 

Our club responds to having a larger than life personality at the helm, now neither Rodgers or Moyes fall into that category.. Rafa would be far superior but ultimately not realistic as Ashley wouldn't throw that kind of cash at something sensible..

[Mattoon]

I'm with Odin on this one, never been a huge fan of Moyes, like I said when Pardew was here I'd take him over what we've got but he seems like another manager on his way down rather than up. Wouldn't mind giving Rogers another shot but if we could get Rafa that would be a no brainer.

 

All stuff of dream though really as the pie man won't be getting rid of McClaren, not a chance.

[toontownman]

Moyes is someone that needs time. He doesn't have the charisma to woo the fans back and get players performing from the start IMO. While he is superior It would be a sideways appointment. It will probably happen.

 

Rafa would be ideal but would never happen. Rodgers would be someone in the middle.

 

We will probably get turned down by Moyes and hire Redknapp.

[Sho Time]

I would maybe like us to think outside of the box and stop going for boring British managers who have no real passion or ability to motivate players. We have some fantastic players in there who just need a foot up the arse to do it regularly and we can start looking forward, get someone in who'll demand a bit of f***ing respect from these c***s. I'd personally like to see us take a punt on Jemez.

 

Do agree Rodgers would definitely keep us up and do OK, but nowt inspiring. He'd also blag our money on shite and Joe Allen.

if ever there was an ideal time to sack a manager during a season its surely now, plenty of time to find someone and leave him with time to train with the team

[thenige]

Didn't want McClaren and don't want Moyes. Pretty much sums up how I feel about our current managerial position.

 

Will be shocked if we have a new manager by the first game of next season.
