Killuminati Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 So, Steve McClaren essentially got told how the opposition and Twente were going to play by the 21 year old captain and the coaching staff. Just happened to coincide with the biggest success of his career....... Now to the curious question Who was this 21 year old captain? Likely it could have been Douglas who was 21 or so at the time. He was not captain of the 2008/9 side though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Not really sure what the story is there like. A coaching team informs a manager of how the other team is likely to set up. I mean, that's just normal practice isn't it? Shock horror that McClaren assigned some of his staff to work on how the opposition play. The captain part is a nothing story too, of course someone who has played regularly in that league will share information to the manager who is from a different country. I mean, I'm sure John Terry may occasionally tell Conte how English teams are likely to set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Carver went to Cyprus and fucked up there. McClaren went to Derby fucked up and now he's about to fuck up with Maccabi. The state of the managers, sorry I mean head coaches, appointed by those gastropods running the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Gotta remember that Benitez approached the club and not the other way round. Not in a million years would egg and fatter egg have gone after a coach in Rafa's league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm not sure that's correct. Apparently there had been some contact between the parties for a few weeks before McClaren was binned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a million years would egg and fatter egg have gone after a coach in Rafa's league. I think that is true. The reports that I read were that Rafa approached us. As if Charnley would have the foresight to approach Rafa. Ashley probably didn't even know who Rafa is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Why on earth didn't we bin this c*** after the 5-1 Chelsea mauling. Almost 3 weeks to prepare for 2 winnable games in Stoke away and Bournemouth at home at a training camp would've been perfect for Rafa...mongs.

morla84 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If it had oversold then surely the airline would have taken away his free seats before actually stopping people getting on the plane, and having to put them on other flights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
