Lush Vlad Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That would take us to a new low. A manager/head coach, that has proven to be utter shit for us. Who so far, is proving to be one of our worst manager's, in the modern era. A guy who's team looked to have downed tools and stopped playing for him. Would be kept on as a coach? Nah. I'm not having that. That's too illogical, even for Charnley & Co. Isn't it? ISN'T IT?.............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they will go the most illogical route possible I am suspecting Paul Jewell in as Manager on an 8 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Has anyone mentioned Gary Monk? Fits perfectly...cheap, never get another Prem Club. Sacked from previous job. Hmmmm. If we are to be relegated a manager like Monk would be ideal for the rebuilding process in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As daft as that sounds wasn't he quoted saying "I believe in that dressing room there are enough performances in the last 10 games," he said. "I don't care who the manager is but the club will get out of this." If you were gonna get sacked, you wouldn't be arsed if we stay up or not? I don't care who's going to be above me? Is that what he's saying.... Kind of what I'm thinking, although I actually think McClaren is a proud man and part of his statement was "...regardless of whether I'm sacked I know I can get out of it". That's deluded of course as he and the team haven't shown it. I'm not actually sure he would have been aware of their immediate intentions when he said that. I just think that the club won't mind writing off a couple of million if we stay up, but wouldn't want to if we're heading down, particularly that if we do drop whoever comes in is unlikely to stay on and they will probably think that McClaren will be more suited to the Championship. It would have been 2 million ripped up in tough financial times ten weeks before he may have become useful. I see them covering their arses by saying they didn't get it totally wrong in that he is a decent coach, and provided he accepts that role then they will be saving a pay-off now whilst keeping him in their back pocket for a championship campaign. I appreciate how things going tits up at Derby would negate that argument for most of us, but Charnley & Co don't think that logically. They've also seen a similar appointment work pretty much immediately at Swansea. If you think it through financially (which is what they will be doing), then McClaren will be on the most of him, Simpson and Cathro. The new man will more than likely have to work with the existing coaching set up due to time constraints. The normal route would be letting McClaren go while retaining the assistant coaches. I just see them hedging their bets and keeping him on too to save the outlay and cover the very possible Championship challenge next season. Provided his contract and ego allow for that. If his contract does but his ego doesn't then they might win again by saving the pay-off. I don't know anything on this - I just explored the angles on it last night and this scenario jumps out as logical (if you try to think like Ashley/Charnley based upon previous decisions).

Ankles Bennett Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I heard that fat t*** Porky Parry on Talksport, this morning. They were doing the paper review. It sounds as if everywhere is reporting that Benitez is our top target and that he's supposedly interested. Another article made it seem like we haven't even spoken to him and we're trying to gauge his interest, through a third party This club has stooped to new levels of incompetence. Should have got rid of the manager about a month ago. Instead, he's a dead man walking, still trying to coach a team that have given up on him. It's taken us four days to decide whether or not we're going to 'sound someone out.' Basically, if we haven't spoken to him. There is no chance he's coming. We won't offer enough money for a start and I think it will be the same as when Vieira supposedly spoke to us. It will take Rafa about 5 minutes, to realise we're an absolute shambles. If he doesn't already, of course. I think we'll either stick with McClaren, or we get some absolute shithouse journeyman in. Or just a complete c***, like Sherwood. The problem the club have in getting in a new manager is the first thing they do is notify potential managers that they would have to accept a confidentiality clause should we decide to consider them for the job. The potential managers then bring in their agent to negotiate a fee for signing the confidentiality clause. This all takes time. Then once the clauses are signed the club then invites candidates to interview. The best of them, Benitez, will turn up and make all sorts of very reasonable demands which the club will baulk at, and will then tell Benitez that he hasn't got the job because of his demands. He says great, all I wanted was the money from the confidentiality clause agreement. We then offer the job to Nigel Pearson (who now thinks he is the greatest manager in the EPL because he brought in most, if not all of Leicester's players). We lose all our remaining games and get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 These w*****s won't appoint him! Rip up the shitty blueprint and get him in! Rafa Benitez interested in taking Newcastle United job but could walk away if club are relegated http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitez-interested-taking-newcastle-11012216#ICID=ios_ChronicleNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Little Waster Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It really doesnt matter who they get in at this stage ...ffs they could get Jesus in and it still makes no difference in the long term ... Thats why im not worried whether McClaren stays or goes ...if they get Benitez or Pearson .... The fcb bought this club to make money out of it ...no other reason and hes not about to cede control re the finances so a proper manager can wheel and deal ... We are getting relegated ...come what may ..and hopefully we are staying down until the fcb leaves ...The Ashley era i think , will end within the next couple of years ..not with a bang , but with a whimper .

NG32 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 These last few years have proven how vital it is to invest into your team, youth system and a decent manager, even if it shows as a loss on the finances. All of the "let's do it cheap" decisions are coming to fruition. False economy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Honestly mind, from a neutral perspective what a way for them to treat McClaren like. Seen publicly getting on a train for a supposed meeting, papers all over the place saying they're sounding out other managers. Total shitbags. From a non neutral perspective I think anyone with an ounce of self respect would have walked at the weekend but given the way he's been treated since certainly by now. So he obviously just wants the money therefore fuck him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
