toontownman Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Moyes this week for me, or its too late. 9 days to sort it before Leicester. We can't possibly allow McClaren to go into the Derby when it's so vital we win it. Moyes record vs Mackems is superb. Never lost a game to them. Ashley needs to step in and order Charnley to fire McClaren and just move asap. Honestly don't think he would do much better. We need someone with charisma and someone that will inspire and motivate our players. Don't see much to think he will be any better than the current shambles. Awful at Manure under pressure, awful in Spain. Brendan Rodgers, Benitez ... getting closer. Neither would touch us with a barge pole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 For all the talk of sacking McClaren, people forget that Ashley and Charnley are from completely different industries to football and this effects their decision making. (Remember stories about Ashley being astonished by some of the practices considered commonplace in football but unheard of in retail?) The manager is just another employee to them, and of little real significance. They're not going to sack him, as every other footballing chairman would, because they would consider it money p*ssed down the drain to little effect. They're not football people, and that's why they won't make the smart footballing decision. Ashley is a gambler who will gamble on McClaren turning it around, and a retailer who is expecting the staff he has hired to do the job he wants them to do regardless of whether they have the skills or motivation to do so. This man expects his footballers to be happy working under a numpty boss in the same way he expects his retail staff to be happy with zero-hour contracts. Is 90m on players not pissing money down the drain if he takes us down? Plus the 100m Ashley stands to lose next season in TV money? Come on, Ashley will be sweating, and something will give sooner or later. He hasn't spent any of his own money in that £90m. Besides the fact that this is all chump change and I doubt he gives 2 shits about the finances of the club other than when he's forced to pay in. The club's doing it's job advertising his main company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would touch us with a barge pole. 10 games to go in a relegation fight, charisma is not going to be what we will be doing. Was awful at everton to start with but had them finish around the Euro positions on a number of occasions. I'm not arguing Moyes corner here, but I'm not dreaming and I don't think others should that there is going to be a sir Bob and Keegan third coming. Them days are gone, stabalize rebuid this shambles. Otherwise it's down to the championship, and rid the mercs and start over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There's not a hope in hell that these useless idiots are thinking of sacking their long term 'investment'. Fuck the club, let it suffer. Burn it down and start again for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Difficult to see how the club can get out of this mess. Even if he is sacked , these idiots would just simpson in charge for the rest of the season. For me Carr has to be sacked along with McClaren.

nufcjb Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 One thing that has been distinctly different to how the club is handling this mess is the lack of any statements backing McClaren. Previously, when there were news regarding the manager being pushed out coming out in the press, especially during Pardew's time, it was swiftly countered by a strong denial from the club and backing of the manager until the end of the season. Forget that crap from the supposed 'players' statement yesterday. You would have thought after the Chealsea mauling and the tame Stoke defeat, something would have been said by the club to dismiss the reports of him getting the sack if we lost to Bournemouth before the game to ease the pressure on him from the fans and media. Until the club says anything, there's a chance he will be pushed out as he's clearly not walking out by himself. Cue a Sunday morning statement by the club backing the c***.

Unbelievable Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just accept we're stuck with him unless he walks on his own accord, goes against their commands or somebody offers money for him, for your own sanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There's literally not a hope in hell that this twat is likely to get any results to pull us out of this. That's blindingly obvious. If he's still here by this evening then, frankly, we need to go down. We need a good few years of lower league football to clear out the shit, drive out the cunts at the top, and reinvigorate support for the club. I would be gobsmacked if the board thought there was a chance this could be turned around. It's obvious to all in the same way it's obvious that Villa are fucked.

wyn davies Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 It isn't all McClaren's fault, he's just the fall guy,( he was appointed by the board as a cheapish option). It's those idiots that run the club who think they know what they are doing and believe they are invincible, the players can see what they can get away as it appears that the "board" have allowed this situation to arise.

nufc4eva Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Talking about bringing in Moyes, another total failure Moyes is a higher class of manager than McLaren like. Whether he can keep us up is another matter and would need to be given time but I would be all for it. Moyes can build a club if given time. Pardew and McLaren destroy clubs because they are born losers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charnley should have text him at half time and sacked him. This club has to become ruthless as we are so wet across the club. There is no resolve. Look at them nonces down the road, one of them caught fiddling and they still crack on winning points, we would have crumbled under the pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If he doesn't go today, he won't go. That's it. Club should come out and make a statement to confirm he's staying or going to put us out of our misery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Some of his selection choices have been very, very poor, recently. He also didn't need to change the home formula from the last game, and it was imperative we had a good start yesterday - we did try to start quick but the likes of Riviere stunted it. Far too panicky with some of those choices. He should go. I do think he's made some progress on the footballing front in his time here but that's ultimately nowhere near enough. This squad's doomed, though, so much shite running through it and still a huge lack of mental strength. Craig Hope can fuck off too. His article about that press conference is an absolute disgrace, reads like a fucking awful Sun exclusive. Calls himself a fan, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 The fans bleeding the club dry when it's relegated is the only way to get him out. As long as he has wilful sheep handing over their cash, he isn't budging. Already paid nearly £100 so far for next seasons time away from the wife. No point in throwing that away.
