Danh1 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just accidentally clicked on the first page when opening the thread on my phone and there was an article posted slating McClaren for going to check on David Beckham in LA. Problem was he was playing in a charity match against a load of celebrities which ended 12-4. The man is a fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, clearly I've been mistaken somewhere which makes me look a right tit. I'm not attempting to down play his failures but equally I think it is unfair to down play his successes. I thought the forest gig went wrong early doors because he was essentially lied to on the first day and didn't get on from there with the board? No excuses for Twente or Wolfsburg but at least he acknowledged his own failings which make him a bigger man than either of the last two clowns. Good job there's no chance if that here then.

Hhtoon Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 At least give him the rope to hang himself 1st. He is meh and I'm not excited by the appointment particularly but coming off the back of some shocking management over the last several years then we just need to consolidate and rebuild the squad....yeah, I know it's not sexy but the club is a mess and it's not going to take 1 managerial appointment to turn it round. All this constant hysteria is gonna get us a rep.....oh wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosstef Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 At least he seems to take responsibility when his team fails. It'll be refreshing not hearing the manager/coach making excuses after a loss and a poor performance. Still and underwhelming appointment though.

lovejoy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If he comes with his own team, we've got a chance I think, if he works with the dross in our dugout, the whole thing is a total waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If he comes with his own team, we've got a chance I think, if he works with the dross in our dugout, the whole thing is a total waste of time. What do you think we've got a chance of doing? My expectations are that we are a nothing club and this is a nothing appointment which will bring us nothing but mediocrity. At this stage it looks like being a shit appointment and not a sign that we're going to try and compete for anything other than not getting relegated. Appointing McClaren means that nothing has changed and nothing is going to change and it's shit because of that. We're not a club that will push to be the best that it possibly can be, we're a club that wants to be safe and nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Clutching at straws but when Souness came in with Murray & Saunders, he kept Carver on in a lower capacity and he eventually left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Winning that league is almost comparable to Pardew finishing 5th. http://media.giphy.com/media/Ri7OGqOQ9u4uc/giphy.gif I think Yorkie's sig might be getting replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Winning that league is a far bigger achievement. Simply because of the club he was at. Had it been Ajax or PSV it would have been far less impressive. There's a lot of debate in this thread since its pretty clear cut. He's a decent manager, no more, no less. What it says about the bigger picture at Newcastle is a different matter. Was anyone really surprised we didn't show more ambition? Suppose that's for the Mike Ashley thread.

Unbelievable Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 At least he seems to take responsibility when his team fails. It'll be refreshing not hearing the manager/coach making excuses after a loss and a poor performance. Still and underwhelming appointment though. Wishful thinking imo, considering he was meant to have hailed Derby's performances as fantastic no matter how good or bad they were and regardless of the result. I've said it before, but after four years I wouldn't be surprised if McClaren was hated as much as Pardew. Either that or he will have been let go for not being sufficiently abnoxious.

Klaus Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Even if Fergie was s*** before he went to Man U, what does that have to do with Mcclaren? I am sick of giving shit managers a chance. Hes not here because he is any good, he's here because he will tow the line and be quite happy as another Ashley yes man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Anyway, under four weeks til Pre Season. Absolutely no rush from the club to get fans onside by buying players. The ink on SMC's contract will still be drying by the dealine for ST renewals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said his last 5 years were shite and last two jobs were ultimately failures. His response was 'would you have took Fergie pre Man Utd' and then that golden nugget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
