Steve McClaren

No matter what the eventual outcome, it's pretty clear that we have a realistic chance as a club of landing a genuinely top class manager.  So why the actual fuck we ended up with McClaren as choice A, B and C on our wishlist, stumbled on with no manager at all for months when he turned us down and nearly got relegated in the process, appointed him even after his promising start with Derby had become an utter shit show and they'd sacked him, bought him 80 million quid's worth of players, let him guide us back into the relegation zone again and then paid him £4 million to fuck off after 20-odd games is anyone's guess.

All I can think is that, in their own retarded way, they actually thought that appointing McClaren would be a dramatic improvement.

 

Trying to make sense of Ashley's brain is futile TBH.

Over 5 seasons of Dream Team never managed to get so ridiculous. Getting laughed at by Harchester fans.

Paul Merson hasn't half spouted some s**** about the club being disrespectful to McClaren; he's been given more time than other sides have given struggling managers, he can have no complaints.

 

It's always the same.

 

If Rafa comes in and keeps us up, Merson will be lauding the move

Good.

Top class managers demand the chance to be able to actually compete and have a decent stab at winning something. That's not what Ashley wants. He wants us to keep just ticking along, being extremely average and surviving in the premier league. It's what Keegan found out, and we know how that ended. All of our management appointments since have fitted the mould of 'just about good enough' to fulfil that.

Appointing Benitez will be a massive signal that things have changed.

Don't think Ayoze will be that interested.

Not even close to nearly made us work. Still gave us more flashes of an actually football team than we have seen in years. Ultimately clearly can't motivate the players and bring consistency. The majority of his decision making on match days has been laughable.  I don't dislike the guy but he was never right from the start.

 

Here's to us fucking up any talk with Rafa and not appointing anyone for another week.

I was surprised how bad his decisions were TBH. I know we don't see what goes on in training etc, but some of his selections have been suicidal.

 

It was baffling. Almost seemed like he wanted the sack in the end (gouffran, riviere etc)
