Shak Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 When the ex-Derby boss took over in June, he originally made it known that Coloccini was not in his plans and that he wanted a vocal centre-back brought in who could be his new captain. Unfortunately, it was soon made clear to McClaren that such a player would be costly and would not be signed over the summer, so instead Coloccini was offered a new deal and retained the captaincy. http://i.imgur.com/uv5yjx9.gif Didn't want to spend money so their solution was to extend the deal of their highest paid player for another year or two. A player who just so happens to be absolutely fucking finished. Assuming Colo is on roughly 60k a week, we basically flushed 3m down the toilet when we gave Colo a new deal. Still though, better than spending 6 or 7 million on somebody who'd actually improve the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 should that be true it tells us everything we need to know about mcclaren going forward tbh, he's just going to bend over and take it like pardew did, that's if he's not fully complicit in the first place obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, better than spending 6 or 7 million on somebody who'd actually improve the team. Huge mistake. By replacing him you also replace the captain. It will only cause trouble. Colo might have to leave or be 120% professional and accept his delegation. Its difficult to sign a captain i guess? Should we sign a new captain in January. One who can play CB or DCM? Can´t see any candidates within our current squad... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 "Simpson is also understood to be exasperated by the limitations placed upon the coaching team due to the restrictions of the current structure of the club under Mike Ashley - especially due to the fact that McClaren is the only head coach in the Premier League to be on his club’s board." What in the chuffing hell does that mean? What restrictions are imposed that stops the coaches from coaching properly? 'Player X must play'? very strange comment to make, only thing that makes sense due to use of the word structure is mcclaren being on the board is somehow f***ing with things they want on the training ground, but it's very hard to imagine what that might be unless they're after a second set of bibs but charnley won't fork out for it or something I think he's saying it's the second bit that Simpson is frustrated about. This bit: 'Despite this, player recruitment is largely controlled by chief scout Graham Carr and McClaren’s influence over some key aspects of the club remains limited.' So in my view Simpson is frustrated that, despite being on the board, McClaren has limited influence over the club. he's saying it badly then Yeah, it's all over the place. Not up the the Chronicle's usual high standards of grammar and prose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 embarrassing and predictable he was undermined from the very start.

TRon Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If he really did make it clear he wanted a big vocal cb then accepted that we couldn't afford one, then he must be the most spineless twat in the world, especially considering how desperate the club were to make him manager.
