Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Will sit on the fence if it is McClaren, but I would be interested to see how it works out. McClaren played quite attacking football with Derby/Twente, didn't he? I'd rather take a punt on getting Moyes over from Spain. Can't say I'm a fan of trying to bring in an unknown foreign manager based on the fact that they played attacking football in leagues of lower standards. Unproven in the Premier League as a manager means basically nothing. Pochettino, Koeman, Laudrup all came in seamlessly, as well as bigger names like Pellegrini. Koeman and Laurdrup were not unknown managers though and had successful stints are reasonable clubs. A lot of the managers linked to us have either only managed one team/had little success other than a midtable finish on a tight budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anybody was? I just said that my preferred choice would not be somebody who otherwise is unknown (ie, the links that have been to us/bookies betting; Garde, Galtier, Tuchel, Gourvennec). And also with regards to other teams doing the same (Leeds this season, Watford (although successfully eventually). Is Garde unknown? and Tuchel just went to Dortmund. I'd say so, how many times do you think Wikipedia was used when Garde was first linked to us? And time will tell on how well Tuchel gets on at Dortmund.

Ashley17 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Ashley likes to hold a grudge so I fully expect McClaren to have crawl through the "supplicants" door to his office Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm a fan of trying to bring in an unknown foreign manager based on the fact that they played attacking football in leagues of lower standards. Yet you'd take Moyes? I would never class Moyes as an "unknown foreign manager" due to 6 months managing a team in Spain. It was more you'd be happy to take Moyes, a manager known for his bland football over someone who plays attacking football. The ones you've mentioned are hardly unknown either.

Pilko Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Then again, why would Derby sack him if they know we're sniffing around? Missing out on compo AND they've had to pay him off. Because other clubs such as Derby might be more concerned about getting their house in order early and actually making a proper fist of something, rather than waiting around for a few million quid compo at the expense of the next entire season's preparation time.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 To be fair, with Derby's end of the season at least McClaren can come straight in and continue our tradition of losing nearly every game after 1st January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
