There are no guarantees with managers. Sometimes it just works, sometimes it doesn't, from Juande Ramos to Claudio Ranieri.

 

What you mustn't do, and imo exactly what we have done, is appoint a manager with a very obvious glass ceiling far below where the club should be operating at.

 

Very much agree.

 

You can forgive the Juande Ramos appointments because you see the ambition behind it. SMC is mediocre all over.

At the same time, he's better than a lot of the people I was imagining would turn up.

 

He's a big step up from Pardew and that's something I suppose. At least the football doesn't make your eyes bleed and during the Pardew/Carver years anything seemed better in comparison.

Danny Mills:

 

“Steve McClaren is a very good coach, undoubtedly. But he does struggle with man management skills from time to time.

 

“I think Newcastle had a tricky start. They played well in the first four or five games but didn’t get results they needed – that knocked them back.

 

“But when you look at the quality of their squad if they finish 14th, 15th, 16th, that’s about right for them.”

 

 

Not sure what he's basing the man-management stuff on.

I'm not having that like. It's nothing amazing, but better than that.

McClaren managed him at Boro for the 03-04 season. He was promised a contract but ended up at City (after being heavily linked with us before we opted for Stephen Carr).

Another has been fraud on the cheap. Nice one Mike.

 

Why is 'fraud' constantly wheeled out? :lol:

 

Because most managers under Ashley's ownership have peddled his lies for him.

 

Aye, areet.

 

You don't think that's true?
