Dave Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Went on a Derby forum to see what the talk was about McClaren. Usual stereotypes about it being an impossible job; expectations too high, delusion about our status and it seems the alleged threats to Pardew's family are taken as gospel. Which forum? DCFC Fans. To be fair they're not all saying that, but it's still annoying how the media clearly influences everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If we do go English I think I'd prefer Schteve to any of the others. Familar with: 1. The area (sort of). 2. A ridiculous media spotlight. 3. European style management, and particularly one of our transfer hunting grounds. 4. Winning stuff at all levels, as a manager and coach. 5. Working with some of the biggest managerial and playing egos around. 6. Operating without massive budgets. His current team are doing well and scoring goals, and one of his right hand men (recently voted goalkeeping coach of the year) played for us. Could be worse I guess.

Guest Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 He could bring in Hughes to replace Cabaye/Gosling/Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'd be relatively happy with McLaren like, he's unlikely to ever make the club great imo but he'd be a solid choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 He could bring in Hughes to replace Cabaye/Gosling/Colback. Does the Cabaye excuse transfer with Pardew to Palace or do we still get to use it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Would definitely be worth waiting 6 months for Tuchel if we could get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sounds like he would be a decent choice for us. I'd be happy as long as he plays a much more positive football and doesn't worry about the opposition so much, no matter who we play. Likes to win games with more than 1 goal instead of keeping it tight and hoping for some individual magic. And isn't a man that i desperately want to stab to death with a plastic chair. Just so fucking glad we're rid of ******, finally. It came totally out of the blue, God, i thought we'd never get rid of him. What a beautiful start to 2015 lads and lasses :smitten: Happy New Year!

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Work with a lot of Derby fans, and through them know a few more. They're all dreading the thought McClaren will walk if we approach him. Asked whether he'd insist Paul Simpson and Eric Steele come too, but they think it's likely Simpson would get the gig there.

toontownman Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Simpson and Steele are both derby old boys. Would think you're right in Simpson certainly staying put. Steele has worked with mclaren at several places so could definitely see him coming. Would allow woodman to join Pardew and we would absolutely benefit, cracking reputation. Would be slightly worried about him keeping Carver on tbh. I'm hesitant with McLaren. He is hit and miss in his roles and hardly and inspiring choice from the average fan point of view. We have a real chance to heal some wounds, unite fans and inspire a brighter future. I don't think he is the man to inspire fans or has the personality. We could certainly do worse though, he is the best coach England has to offer. Apparently a few new quotes here about him not being interested with the newcastle job.. nowt new though or any real denial. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-County-Steve-McClaren-longer-flattered-big/story-25793559-detail/story.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
