triggs Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 McClaren is going to turn us down. I can feel it coming. It's like Game of Thrones. Whatever you think the worst-case scenario is, it can always be worse. Man, I'm all for realism but you've become the forum's irrepressible black cloud recently. Name one time in the past three years where the worst possible thing hasn't happened to this club. We didn't get relegated Debatable. Pardew said yes to Palace. Given what happened after, also debatable. I'll admit that it felt wonderful at the time. The Pardew one definitely isn't debatable IMO Like I said, it was amazing and cathartic at the time but how does it help in the long run? We have the same owners and we're stuck with a dude that's 10x worse at managing and just as odious. I really don't think Carver is going to get the job. I also don't hate Carver nearly as much as Pardew. Pardew is a compulsive liar and a horrible human being while John Carver is just a fucking idiot with a few screws loose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If it is McClaren I'll take solace to the fact he's won the League cup, a Dutch League and got to a European cup final. He at least he has it in him, right? But anytime we've hired coaches who have won trophies, they end up failing spectacularly like Gullit, Dalglish and Souness. Still would much prefer Viera. Have a feeling we'll reject him and he'll do well at whatever team he ends up with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Graham Carr becoming a major problem at the club? Wanting McClaren and those potential signings are hardly inspiring, mixed with his awful record over the last transfer window. Think overall the quality of signings was good last window, the problem was we didn't sign enough players in the most important positions, but is that Carr's fault? I'm not sure, would have thought he identifies several players in positions he's asked about and perhaps is part of the process of signing them. But certainly doesn't get to sign whoever he wants or decide on the overall budget. I mean Perez and Janmaat were class signings, and I still think De Jong and Cabella will turn out as very good signings as well. Ok Riviere is shit, but overall the quality and value of the players brought in was very good. We just needed more money made available for more players so we wouldn't be left so short in certain positions. It is definitely worrying in one way to hear that Carr is championing McClaren (if true). Though in another way it could be the only positive we end up with if McClaren does come in. The knowledge that the manager/head coach will see eye to eye with one of the main people bringing players in, unlike Pardew who quite obviously didn't have the same mind set as Carr or anyone else above him when it came to signings "Mapou who?, I wanted James Facking Tompkins!"

Teasy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Is he not one of Carr's scouts/contacts though? Who know's, with so many people involved its hard to know who to congratulate/blame for each signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkzter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's gonna be Carver or McClaren, that's it. Doubt anyone else is or ever has been in the frame really. would love to be totally wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It won't be Carver because we know McClaren will say yes this time. The question is whether someone better takes the club's eye, which they won't because he's FREEEEEEE BITCHAZ!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thought Perez was credited to that old Rod Stewart thing? Why isn't that miracle worker heading up our search for a manager?
