BlueStar Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think they hope the "warm weather training", "bonding trip" or whatever this friendly shite is supposed to be will sort it all out. When we failed to get McClaren the back up plan was McClaren, when McClaren failed the back-up plan is McClaren in bermuda shorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 That's a good point on the away form Vlad. Aside from a few good performances where we were unlucky like at Arsenal and the win at Spurs it's been absolute toilet and that has to come from the manager. I disagree on taking the other names mentioned though. I overheard someone talking earlier about bringing in a motivator to work a long side Cathro and the coaching staff like Sherwood or Redknapp and although I think those names are laughable to replace him with I wonder if it is simply a matter of motivation and confidence. Get Roy Keane to just stand there with his dog scowling at them. You wouldn't have another bad game if you came off to find a mental bearded Irishman staring at you in the showers.

mighty__mag Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This thread was desperate for McClaren to be dismissed this week. The slight mention of Bagpuss and everyone is shitting themselves & to hold on to McClaren. He is out of his depth in the premier league. If people want to see us down and then he gets the boot in the hope we have more time to appoint the right guy to bring us back up don't waste your time. This club appears to act better under pressure. When they have time to make decisions they usually get it wrong. Can't believe some still defending McClaren and blaming the players, rightly the players have been shit, but take his Derby County form into this season, so basically his yearly form, he's terrible. Never wanted the guy from the off, utter stupid naive bellend. A mate not a manager. Moyes. Pearson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Almost certainly BS but Alan Brazil on TalkSport said he's been told if they get rid of McClaren they've got Redknapp lined up till the end of the season. Bigger fraud then Pardew & that's saying something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I detest that wobbly faced cunt, and it says a great deal that that option seems far more preferable at this time than watching us capitulate under McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In my view this board will stick with McLaren through thick and thin. Its their judgement that is on the line by appointing him, and they just can't bring themselves to admit their judgement was horribly flawed. Ultimately though, the main reason they will stick with Mc Laren is the old adage that if you give the manager time he will eventually build a succesful side. Quite where they get this belief is beyond me, because the only managers who have ever been given time have been sucessful pretty much immediately, which has in turn bought them more time, even Sir Alex was on the verge of being fired when he got a stay by actually winning something. The Arsenal fans have been clamouring for Wenger to be replaced for at least the last four or five seasons because they haven't won anything of note by their standards. Even Liverpool are on their 4th or 5th manager in the last ten years or so. Chelsea have had quite a few successful managers in the last ten years who have been sacked as soon as it's become apparent they won't win the title, and even Man city are turning over managers on a fairly consistent rate despite winning titles and trophys. How on earth our board thinks McLaren should be given time is staggering, wgiven the attrition rate of managers in the top clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Redknapp would take us down and say he had no chance. The media would lap it up and his reputation would remain intact, same as QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think his reputation's taken a bit of a hit in the last 18 months, mind. No one really listens to his golf buddies in the rags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's a pipe dream but I still think Keegan with a 3 year contract a sensible yearly transfer budget and free reign over football matters, saves us from relegation this season and takes us forward much quicker and with a lot more enjoyment than any other football manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley did something like that and Keegan accepted....all forgiven or Keegan sold out to the devil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'd keep him like. He's not great, and there's a decent chance he'll get us relegated, but also might keep us up. Reckon anyone Ashley could, or rather would, appoint now would be near guaranteed to cause us to descend it to complete chaos and relegation. Unless Redknapp would come. Not a fan but reckon he'd maybe have a decent chance of keeping us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's the only thing Ashley could ever do imo that could ever relieve some pressure on him. Imagine Keegan back again man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
