ujpest doza Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just noticed he used to play Mandzukic left wing for Wolfsburg. I'm told he's been telling the players to be prepared to play in any position he asks them to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Couldn't give a shit if he players play 'out of position' for the good of the team (i.e. Ba on the left, Dummett at CB), it's when you play Gouffran, a second striker at Bordeaux, as a defensive winger, or Ryan Taylor in central midfield. Playing players out of their preferred position is only a bad thing if it's completely ineffective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Mind Gouffran's nee second striker, either. He's a poor man's poacher who used to run around a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Has McClaren even spoken to the press since his initial comments? Sure I haven't seen or read anything since the long radio interview with Pryde (was it?) Granted it's preferable to Pards' bullshit and Carver's nonsense.

hakka Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Another week gone. No new players, no confirmed coaching staff. Squad is back in training on Wednesday. On a slightly more positive front, it does feel like the coaching stuff is close to sorted and if the media are anything to believe, we are very close to our first signing. Of course, being close and having it over the line can feel like miles apart with this club. I expected things to be done faster than this, and each day it drags on I get more anxious.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It'll be next week imo. Players back for training and new financial year, someone will either be in by the end of next week or sometime the week after imo. Not sure about the other 10 players we need mind.

prefabtoon Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Despite Ashley’s promise we are now stuck with McLaren who flopped at derby, and mike has yet to loosen the purse strings. I have not renewed my season ticket this year as nothing is going to change until Ashley sells up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Is it? I reckon that's what Derby wanted when they hired him. What other objective would they have the fairest way to say it is he left them in better shape than he found them in, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 He may have flopped in his last 4 months at Derby but prior to that he did a great job. Using that basis, Pardew did a great job when we won and flopped when we didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Spoke to my brother in law yesterday (FC Twente season ticket holder). When I told him that McClaren was now manager of Newcastle he laughed and simply said "good luck". I reminded him that he won them their first and only trophy and he replied that McClaren was working with very solid foundations which were put in place before he arrived, which suited his motivational skills, which he recognises made a big difference. He said the problem is it wears off quickly so Steve McClaren is an ideal short term appointment and not someone who should build up a club over a longer period of time. When I told him NUFC were is disarray and we have given McClaren a 3+5 year contract he laughed again, and repeated "good luck". Bodes well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Let's hope Cathro make the difference here. McClarens motivational skills don't seem to be in doubt, from what i've read, so i'm hoping the other guy gives us the extra tactical nounce he's perhaps lacking?

HawK Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Reckon it would be viable to have a whip round to get the new gaffer that Korean eyelid surgery? He's been living his life through a pinhole camera and become a reasonable football manager, just imagine what he could achieve if he could actually see a football match properly.
