Interpolic Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ronaldo loves the Dutch league so he'll doubtless backtrack very shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'd take Fred West at this stage. Would build strong foundations, helping us dig deep and give us a killer edge. Probs be in with a shout if he wasn't deed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magorific Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 He isn't. Souness' league cup win with Blackburn eclipses anything McClaren's achieved, also. So beating Oldham, Boro, City (then in second tier), Arsenal, Sheff Wed and a Spurs side containing Ben Thatcher and Chris Perry better than taking Boro (via victories over Stuttgart, Roma and Basel) to the UEFA Cup final?

Ronaldo Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 And nobody said he was shit. As I've already said, he's a 5/10 manager with a CV and style which inspire absolutely nothing other than indifference. It'll be shit football and average (at best) results. What will any of us get out of that? Fucking nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Didn't McClaren win the League Cup there as well? Have no recollection of their route there, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, winning is better than finishing 2nd. That's before you even take into account which teams listed there were taking the respective tournaments more seriously.

Boro won the same cup with a not too dissimilar run, just checked. Beat Arsenal over 2 legs in the semi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Boro had a better side than Blackburn, too. No idea why you're bothering constructing a defence for him, IP.

I doubt I want him much more than you do, just saying he's had a few decent achievements in his career. No idea of the respective abilities of the 2 sides either, you must have the memory of an elephant. I would be extremely pissed off with McClaren as manager, but not as pissed off as I would be Carver or O'Leary or whoever. We could easily get a far better manager in who would work under Astley. It appears we might choose not to though, so McClaren would be small mercies compared to the alternatives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Would be a bang average appointment. One thing going in his favour is his reputation as a coach who knows what he's doing on the training ground day-to-day. As a manager who sets a team up and the decisions made as the game develops I'll reserve judgement but I've always liked what I've heard about him as a coach. #coach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, are you saying losing 4-0 to Sevilla in the Uefa Cup is a better achievement than wining the (admittedly shit) League Cup with Blackburn? I'm fucking bored with this shit, anyway. Anyone legitimately wanting Steve 'Derby are doing well in the Championship and he did well at Boro' McClaren over the suggested/approached realistic European options is a mong. End.
