DJ_NUFC Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The issue is one of ambition, and the lack of it has percolated drip by drip from top down, making its way into the soil at SJP and (lasagna-warning) the DNA of everyone at the club. We keep appointing managers who have no sense of ambition for their own fucking careers, let alone instilling an ethos in whichever club they take over. Basically, as Americans would say, it's a loser-mentality and once it settles in, you need a larger-than-life, KK-like figure to lift the gloom. Which we clearly are not going to get. Sigh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 McClaren also came in to a squad with no morale and had an extremely difficult fixture list to contend with. It was hard for him to generate any kind of momentum. Guess he should have turned it around by now, but he's fighting against the culture of the entire club.

I think his 6 months before he even came to NUFC, after turning us down twice, showed his own failure to, ahem, launch Derby into the Prem. He brought his own failed culture with him and added to the complex cocktail of failure we've established at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fixture list is the same for every fucker though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 A larger-than-life, ambitious, seasoned and modern manager (like Rafa, just as an example), can work absolute wonders for not just our squad but the entire club. And may end up making Ashley even more money by actually finishing higher in the league. But the fat cunt simply hasn't worked this simple nugget of wisdom out after owning a football club all these years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think players either thought Pardew was a tit or enjoyed the easy ride they got under his stewardship. An allowance for woeful performances and ready-made excuses for every scenario. Every player who had a comment to make on the Europa League, for example, followed the same rhetoric Pardew did.

Unbelievable Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The club being in huge relegation trouble with 12 games to go with the manager seemingly unable to get the best out of his squad, and not a single post in this thread for three days now. Guess we're all resigned to McClaren sticking around then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 What are we supposed to say that hasn't already been said? Could post 'He's a fucking clown, wish they'd fire him' again but what's the point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Fair point I guess. I've not followed the forum closely for a few days and I was just amazed at how little speculation there has been about McClaren's position even if I wasn't personally expecting him to get the sack or walk on his own account. Guess Mike's making his own luck again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hog Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I see Danny Mills is another name saying that they've experienced Schteve as an excellent coach but hopeless with man-management. Maybe, if they're planning on keeping Schteve, the club should consider bringing in an enforcer to work alongside him, or at least a motivator. It worked pretty well for Clough and Taylor, not sure who'd be the right man though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
