r0cafella Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 McClaren’s work at the iPro Stadium in the last year has restored his reputation but when asked about Newcastle in the wake of reports that Alan Pardew is set to take over at Crystal Palace, he replied: “I think there have been about 10 linked. It’s the speculation season and all we can do is focus on what we are doing. We’ve got big games coming up and a job to do here. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/30/derby-county-leeds-united-championship-match-report Hmm, not exactly saying he's not interested there is he.... He's interested, he's just trying not to offend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 One thing I noticed this morning when I was watching his post-match interview from last night, he was basically advertising himself talking about how the fans are entertained, they play good football, etc. And if he can bring Will Hughes with him then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 My neighbour is a Derby fan, he's been raving for ages about what a great job McClaren is doing there, says they've been playing really nice football as well. Was winding him up this morning that we were going to nick their manager, didn't actually think it would be a real possibility though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm expecting either Carver, Adkins or Rosler so I'd be delighted with McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah went to watch Derby on the 20th against Norwich. Have family there. He is highly thought of here and is the team he had built. Game was absolutely rancid though. Derby looked full of cloggers, scared to attack and out of ideas other than giving it to Ibe. Who was pretty slow and clueless himself. Played it back to the keeper at every opportunity and refused to close down. Told it was an off day. Even Will Hughes was nothing to write home about when he came on. Looked alot like us under Pardew tbh but at a lower level. Just one game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is it even a decent source or are people going out of their minds because they saw the word "BREAKING"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is it even a decent source or are people going out of their minds because they saw the word "BREAKING"? Don't think you're far wrong here, 'Polic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is it even a decent source or are people going out of their minds because they saw the word "BREAKING"? Just another football journalist. Nothing more, nothing less. Reckons he knows people close to Ashley, but then so does every cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Well that rules it our for starters. Like Ashley cares enough to a) know who is being approached or b) care enough to tell anyone c) have friends to tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 That journalist has been ahead of others on NUFC stuff before. He was the first to say we were going to put a bid in for Neil Taylor. I think McLaren has always been keen to manage us. Didn't we speak to him when Shepherd was here and he was manager at Boro. I think Gibson then found out about it or something and nothing came of it. I cannot imagine any Championship club who are currently looking like serious promotion candidates letting their manager leave unless they kick up a fuss. I don't think Howe would be that keen to relocate from Bournemouth either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 @mhardysport 1m1 minute ago No contact between Newcastle and Steve McClaren yet…but think it's coming. Might be a hard decision for a very good coach... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Man ... so tough for McClaren. Derby have been good to him, and he's been good for them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Isn't this exciting! With Pulis out the picture I'm failry relaxed tbh. It won't be Carver or Beardsley Colo, ok until we make an appointment yes but not longer term, so as far as the rest are concerned I would be happy with Mclaren, Rosler, Sherwood et al. Adkins had a good rep for a while and I think is a decent coach (can't see it being him myself), as for The De Boers. Klopps and Galtier's I guess we just never know with MA but unlikely imo. It isn't gonna be fuckwit, smug twat face though and that is the best start to 2015 I could imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Given the history of Ashley appointments and who we all thought we would get, I'd find it hard to understand anyone being angry that we got McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
