Ronaldo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 At worst, McClaren either manages Newcastle in the Championship or Derby in the Championship. Hardly a dilemma, like. He picks one of them and signs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-want-steve-mcclaren-manager-5625340? Steve McClaren will be asked to become Newcastle's new manager in the next 24 hours as the relegation trap-door inches closer, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People. Just a day after seeing his Derby side fail to qualify for the Championship's promotion play-offs, former England head coach McClaren will be offered the job of stopping the rot on Tyneside. The Magpies slipped to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Leicester on Saturday - an EIGHTH consecutive defeat that has them glancing over their shoulders at the bottom three. McClaren has been on the Toon radar since Christmas - along with a number of foreign coaches, including Remi Garde, who was interviewed by the club's top brass - but the hierarchy have decided to press ahead now the Rams have failed to reach the second tier's end-of-season shoot-out. Relations between ex-Middlesbrough chief McClaren and Derby chief executive Sam Rush have been strained because of the continued speculation linking the 53-year-old Yorkshireman with a move back to the North-East. But now the long-predicted move appears set to go ahead with a meeting planned for this afternoon that will rubber-stamp the move. If McClaren agrees to the switch, he has just three games - West Brom at home next Saturday, QPR away and a season finale at home to West Ham - to reverse the club's fortunes.

Guest Gino14 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's in the mirror, therefore I expect to see some pigs flying tomorrow as well as McLaren signing. The club just isn't bright enough to get anyone in, they'll sit and prey for three games and wheel out some shitey PR nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Spectacular collapse at Derby considering there position a few games ago and an obvious choice for fat boy ,another reason to hate everything about our once proud club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 even if it were true (and I highly doubt it) just what is any new manager supposed to do? The defense is just plain dogshit and is going to concede goals regardless of opposition and the attack is nowhere near good enough to compensate for that, any manager that may show up has 0 time to come up with some kind of plan to hide the defenses problems as best he can and somehow pick up confidence which is rock bottom and actually get the players interested instead of wondering where to go on holiday. Plus we're just the kind of club that would somehow ignore a new manager bounce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth. would make very little sense from McClarens pov, take that big a gamble on trying to pull something out of the hat where if it goes wrong in the space of about a month he's not only missed out on the playoffs despite being in the top 6 since september (?) but also relegated newcastle united, thats a massive hit to his reputation which he's trying to rebuild.

It's either that or continuing managing Derby. People are talking like he's coaching Real Madrid next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 McClaren is shit but he feels like Jesus if he comes in for Carver. What a fucking grim dilemma. But we have to stay up. If you want shot of Ashley then relegation is a necessity. Keep chucking £100m his way annually and he will be here forever. Go down, stay down, get change. Stay up - more of the same.
