Parky Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Quique Sanchez Flores? Never heard of him? I'm sure lots of people only think a manager is any good if he's got a foreign sounding name. Quique Sanchez Flores. I call him Camilla Parker Bowles.. Not to his face. Not cos I'm scared of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yeah, as bad as Gullit and Dalglish were in the 90s there was excitement and a feeling we'd appointed the right man. Souness, Roeder, Pardew etc were just never going to cut it I'd take someone uninspiring who might actually be pretty good than someone who is exciting but ends up being s****. Sanchez Flores isn't any better than McClaren at all, anyone suggesting otherwise clearly just going by name and nationality. If McClaren was a French coach with an identical record there'd be far more support for him on here. If a French coach just finished 8th in the championship and got sacked, he would be booted back to France Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yeah, same with Jémez. You can't take results on isolation without looking at the team's squad and expectations. By the same account, I can't judge McClaren's Derby stint properly. I honestly care way too little about the C'ship to know whether Derby's squad merited better than 8th place or not.

If McClaren was a French coach with an identical record there'd be far more support for him on here. Because people would know less about him and the unknown offers a little excitement. But we do know about McClaren and his very mixed management record and the poor quality of football he has historically employed. Absolutely, I was excited for both Dalglish and Gullit. Look how those turned out. Regards to McClaren's football, did you watch much of Derby last season, or the season before? His time at Derby is two years in a career spanning 15 years. His other jobs have not been attacking at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have gone for McClaren but he's the best manager we have hired since Bobby (Keegan aside). Steve McClaren would not have got Gunigamp 2 promotions and then an 8th place finish which resulted in Europa league qualification though. Gourvennec did that. With a pretty average team. Why? Because he's got different approaches, he has new ideas and tactics, because he's better than Steve McClaren. Actually it's your shit excuse that "doesn't cut it".
