EthiGeordie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 His Forest time was horrible. Based on other credentials I don't mind him. Based on he left Tiote on the bench for Twente he proves he is better than what we were dealing with for quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Robson had in fact been a major influence in McClaren's decision to go to the Netherlands. According to McClaren, "The relationship I had with Bobby was very special. He was a good friend and was of big influence on my decision to join FC Twente. I'd like to think that he'll be watching from a cloud up above and wishes us the best as we play the last game in the league against NAC" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Really hope Derby get promoted otherwise I can see McLaren leaving. Might be a battle between us and the mackems to bring him in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 what kind of resources has he had at deby considering it looks like he's not going to get them promoted now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Derby have spent £3m + loans this season Nrowich have pretty much broke even Boro have spent about £7m + loans AFCB have spent about £750k + loans Watford have made about £500k +loans (all net) Not sure how much you can read in to it though as wages/income/existing squad etc all come in to play.

Dokko Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Think he's a twat. But better than anyone we've had since Bobby. Still though I'd want better, however with this lot an actual manager and not a chancer like carver would be greatly accepted right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 It would be a bit underwhelming like but it would be an upgrade on the previous 2 fuckers. He's a good coach by all accounts so there's a chance that our talented players would develop a bit too. Would be a solid 6/10 appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think I could be able to want the team to win under McClaren, so it would be a massive upgrade on the previous two fuckwits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd be satisfied with McClaren. Not pleased or delighted, but I'd take him. He's an actual, current, recently relatively successful manager. That's immediately better than every previous manager we've appointed under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Derby's wage bill has steadily risen in the last two years as their finances are in better shape, however it would still be quite some way off the top group as the likes of Burnley and Palace will have been replaced by well-funded former premiership teams. To have Derby in the playoffs two seasons runnings is impressive, without doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I quite like the way derby play, so I would take him as a genuine upgrade on what we have been subjected to in the recent past... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Incandenza Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Lets get some perspective. He is a better manager than Pardew, Hughton, Kinnear, Allardyce, Roeder and Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Incandenza Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's better than we've been used to in the last few years but we could do so, so much better with a little ambition. How many managers could we realistically get who are better than Mclaren? Out of the 'big' names we've been linked with, Benitez is off to Man City and Tuchel is off to Red Bull FC. De Boer has won a few Dutch league titles, but Mclaren pulled the same feat in more difficult circmstances. You say you want a more ambitious choice, but do you really? Or are you actually hoping we take a gamble on an exotic foriegn manager like Galtier and they turn out to be the new Mourinho. I'd argue they're not the same thing.

He is much improvement on what we use to have for a while. Hope they give him a chance to bring two or three championship players as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
