Ashley&co gamble like they did with Carver? they wont sack Mr. Toothfairy until last game is played?  :suicide:

 

Carver was a calculated gamble due to the points on the board already. The only thing worse than sticking with him is sacking him and being turned down by the handful of people who could actually turn it around.

If they were going to sack him, they'd have done it by now imo.

 

They'll do exactly what they did with Carver, offer some managers some ridiculous terms and get turned down then come back and offer their full backing to SMC.

 

I'll be absolutely amazed if we fire SMC and hire anyone competent. The problem is though, the job is less and less attractive the more trouble we get into. We currently have a fighting chance of staying up so somebody could take it, but two defeats on the trot would put us firmly in the shit and nobody will want to risk coming to us.

If we were a proper football club with a proper board you'd assume they were trying to sort out a replacement before getting rid tonight but given that it seems he's going to take charge of training tomorrow that doesn't seem to be the case. Saying that, a proper football club wouldn't have appointed him in the first instance.

Surely even they can't be clueless enough to believe keeping him ensures anything but relegation?

 

Who in their right mind would look at the current situation and think do you know what, this man can get us through this, theres absolutely no evidence to suggest he can.

 

Pay the fucker off now get someone else in and new manager bounce might be enough to keep us up. It's the only way forward.

Ashley has never sacked a manager for poor results. That's not about to change now

 

Then the fucker deserves losing millions, being stranded in the Championship for a few seasons and crowds reducing by more than 50% because it will happen if he doesn't. Is he really going to take that chance this time and gamble losing an absolute fortune?

I do football clubs :lol: we have a training complex and football stadium in Newcastle, yet they decide to catch a train to York to go and hold a meeting.

 

Why not have a meeting in one of the many rooms that we have in the training complex/stadium? Both of which are private and have security, yet we decide to catch a very public train to York.

 

Bet they absolutely love their expense claims like, such a ridiculously easy job.

Sure we've always more points at this stage before though haven't we? not many but definitely more, the way we're going more than 1-2 wins would be a massive surprise.

 

Yeah but I figure he just refuses on principle to work with anyone he either doesn't know personally or hasn't vetted extensively. That would explain the extreme reluctance to sack managers, the hostility towards managers he didn't appoint (Allardyce, Hughton), and the ridiculous amount of time it takes us to actually appoint anyone.

 

McClaren is someone who's clearly been vetted by the club for a very long time so they will be highly reluctant to sack him, probably even if it means relegation.

Problem is the money Ashley loses for us going down is probably the equivalent to us losing £100.

 

Its not like, he might be worth billions theoretically but its not like he makes hundreds of millions of pounds every week, not to mention the fact he's a man completely driven by money.  He'd fucking hate to lose that kind of cash.

 

Think it'll come down to delusion/stupidity if he keeps him rather than not being bothered.  Does seem to be something happening anyway, don't think this ever happened with Pardew (meetings without him, journo's sure he was going ect).

Was that not a change of direction. Given that he was FS appointment.

I still get the feeling Ashley will sack him he has never shown this kind of desperation before except when we brought all the frencies in, I think he's more angry with the fact charnley has no plan b

Is it enough to motivate him to do something about it, especially with the contempt he likes ensure we receive from him.

 

Personally I'd stab a baby for £100, but that's me.

 

No it's not like you're talking at least a 100 million per season which is the equivalent to 3% of his wealth a massive amount of money and then multipy that by a few seasons if they stay down (which we would), the money he has into the club and the fact that Sports Direct shares are dropping massively. If he doesn't sack him then the only thing I can think of is he is either a very stupid man and doesn't give a shit about losing a fortune (which I find unlikely) or he is possibly looking to sell up in the summer. But stating that it's like us losing 100 quid is wrong.He was shitting himself big time last game last season and he will be again now. If not then he deserves everything that's coming to him.

If I was McClaren I would be gagging for the sack now like - either he has to go in tomorrow and try and work with the set of absolute cunts who clearly ignore everything he says or gets to stay at home in his pants and wait for his million quid pay-off to arrive.

 

Know which I would prefer.

Don't forget Charner's is renowned for his love of the Flying Scotsman.
