Being just above average is the worst we could hope for. Best case scenario is a serious manager. Second best case was Carver.

 

Being just above average wouldn't do for me though. I'd be looking for us to be challenging for Europe and playing decent football while we're at it. If McClaren can't do that then he's a waste of time. Newcastle is financially one of the biggest clubs in England. We should always be around the top 6.

You cant not give him a chance, pointless not getting behind him before he even arrives.

 

We need to back him to push this squad forward and up the league...

I personally think he's a world class coach, was unlucky with England due to an incompetent squad.

He was unlucky England?  The only manager to fail to qualify for a major championship in 20 years?  Was he also unlucky at Wolfsburg or Forest?  Even his second spell at Twente and the final part of Derby?  He's had two successes in his career.  Middlesbrough, where they were pretty big spenders, and Twente.

 

By saying he's World Class you're putting him the category of Mourinho & Ancelotti.  Which means your fishing or utterly mental.

He' just a fucking tit and Ashley probably giggled at his attempt at Dutch and German accents and thought it would be funny as fuck to rile us with a geordie accent. In fact probably in his contract that he has to do every interview with a geordie twang

More than underwhelmed by this but as other have said, better than Carver and potentially Pardew too. If he manages to get the team he wants and focuses on sorting both our defence and attacking style, then fair play.  I don't see him as a long term solution but perhaps someone who MIGHT be able to get more out of the players we have through better coaching etc.

 

If he is forced to keep the current coaching team then I think this is only going to end one way and that means we are in the same boat next year! He has to be allowed to bring in his own people otherwise the negative, slack and completely unprofessional standards/tactics and ethos established by Pardew and Carver will not be going anywhere.

Now you want him out?  You're a fickle person.

Flicked on Premier League Years 05/06 and within 30 seconds McClaren had a season ticket thrown at him, 5 minutes later his Boro side are beating Mourinho's Chelsea 3-0. That's still the most goals that one of his Chelsea sides have lost by, guess we'll have some decent performances but all of his sides seem to have had an ability to get absolutely dicked on.

He's not as detestable or arrogant as Pardew, or as incompetent as Carver, so it will be better than we've had it for years. Not that it's saying much,

 

I'll give it 6 months and two early exit from the cups that this opinion is no longer the case.

 

TBH I don't mind him as a person or a manager, never have. I imagine he's a really knowledgeable guy - I just don't want him as manager.

 

He does like a bloke who smells of stale baccy though.

If McClaren's World Class, imagine what Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourihno are. Fucking Interplanetary MegaZord Class, I imagine.

I won't class Derby as a failure . He has left them in a better position he found them although he should have at least made the playoffs. Even the highly regarded managers in England have had blips in their career Pochettino in his last season at Espanyol, Koeman at Valencia who was sacked despite winning a trophy in the same season, Martinez relegating Wigan etc.. .As a manager who has never relegated a team I'd say it's more of a risk for him managing us then us appointing him, given our league performances in the past 3 seasons and the resources he will work with .
