Ronaldo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Might be worth considering that as underwhelming as it would be, it's a significantly better appointment that Carver, Pardew, Hughton or Kinnear. It's a step in the right direction, hilariously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sadly, McClaren would be the best we've had since Keegan's 2nd stint, going back 7 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 For what it's worth, if anyone isn't suicidal because we didn't get Klopp, Benitez, De Boer or Bielsa, some comments from Derby fans upon hearing he'd left. Worth a read, especially considering how some of us (myself well and truly included) get pissed when fans of other clubs say "Bet you wish you had Pardew back" or "Pardew's a good manager" etc, who better to judge then the fans of the team the guy has managed: For two of the most memorable and exciting seasons we've had this century He rekindled my stale love for DCFC after the constant serving of mediocrity and underachieving from the previous regime and for that I thank him. Yes it turned a bit sour towards the end, but don't all break ups? Am a bit choked up over this news. Thanks for the memories Steve, wish you all the best McClaren has arguably given me the greatest pleasure watching my team in just over 20 years. So for that I can only be grateful. McClaren's time here was by far the most enjoyable football I've experienced. Gutted that it's had to end like this and without promotion but I'm pleased that the situation has been sorted out quickly. Good luck Steve and thanks for the memories. Very upset about this decision. Thanks Mac for beating the gumps 5-0, thanks for taking us to Wembley and thanks for rekindling my love for this great team. Good luck Minus the two or three months at the end of last season, he did a brilliant job for us. Played some great football under Mac. Disappointed to see we've let him go, a tad harsh for me. Thanks Steve and best of luck in the future! changed this club into an interesting one and would have been happy to give him another season thanks for the memories, last season was the best and most enjoyable I can remember Wish him all the best Had the team playing great last season We're all quick to shoot the guy down because we think we should aim higher, while Ashley's here (and let's be honest it will be for a fucking while) we're not likely to. By the sounds of their fans, they've been playing good football. With the players we've signed over the last few years all we've wanted is someone who can get them to play, and McClaren has managed abroad, he's not your typical British manager, like Pardew for instance. I'm confident that McClaren will play our better players and get them playing well. Who knows how good we could be until he's had half a season or so with them? Time will tell, but to be moaning like fuck already is a bit melodramatic. Of course it's not inspiring but what should we, realistically, expect? Where is this from mate??

Yorkie Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I doubt I could get behind a manager who would accept Ashley & Co's parameters for the job. If McClaren gets the job in the wake of these 'revelations' from the Vieira talks, we know he's nothing more than a desperate never-was who's here to put up and toe the party line.

If McClaren gets the job there's no reason whatsoever to believe we haven't just got an extension to the Pardew era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've said it before, but a lot of unjust McClaren hate here. Derby played some great stuff under him and he's clearly evolved as a manager since his smog days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 He did so fantastically well with Derby that they sacked him. It usually transpires that a lot of the managers who come up from the Championship aren't good enough for the Premier League. Our fans are busy trying to convince themselves that one who couldn't even manage the play-offs is good enough for Newcastle United. Christ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 McClaren speaking about going to Twente. You've spoken of how the first six months can be tough. Why is that? Adapting to a new culture? Yeah, you can be set in your ways of working. You have ideas of what works and what doesn't. I went in there and I was very lucky because I had good staff. My assistant was great on the very first day I was there. I said to him that I was ready for training and asked him what we were going to do. He produced a folder with files outlining training for the next six weeks. Every minute was detailed, every session was detailed. He pointed out where I could do my work, where we could do team play and where we could do set plays. I thought it was unbelievable. It was manna from heaven for me. I knew exactly what I was doing so just had to get on with it. That gave me an opportunity to sit back, let them get on with the work and observe for about six weeks. That six weeks of observing, watching and learning their culture was very important. I got to learn what Dutch football was all about, what Twente were all about and what the Eredivisie was all about, because all leagues are different. About 80 per cent or 90 per cent of what they did was fantastic so I though, right, we'll keep that. The only thing I could add was my 10 per cent of knowledge and experience of international top-level football and how to win football matches. That's what I did. It was a marriage that worked very well the first time I was there. http://i.imgur.com/ErPyqwK.jpg "What's this about folders, Steve? Files?!" http://i.imgur.com/2KYmZJQ.jpg "Daft cunt!"

Unbelievable Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I personally think he'll turn it down. We'll end up with carver. Wouldn't surprise me at all if this happens. He has turned us down twice before in the past six months, so clearly he doesn't think we're all that. This club man, whoring ourselves to a sacked Championship manager who has failed at his last four jobs with the most likely alternative being the worst (?) Premier League caretaker manager the competition has ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
