Dokko Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Honestly think McClaren is getting hyped up a bit too much on here. He's a hit or miss manager. His first spell at FC Twente was good but on the other hand he's been a disaster during his second spell, Wolfsburg and Nottingham Forest. Derby he's doing well. Honestly this is like when tons of users were all touting Bruce as, "good" manager for us. A step up on Pardew but not what we really need IMHO. We need a foreign manager. Dutch or French preferably. English managers are s****, simple as. Got any quotes to back this up? For the Bruce one? I remember another user posting a compilation of posts supporting Bruce's appointment. I'll dig it up if that's what you're referring to. It was me for when HBA went to Hull, loads of people saying they'd have him here. (sorry) Yorkie saying he'd kill for him here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Honestly, I just want a manager who is positive and has a cheerful demeanor. Someone who can get the players to absolutely love playing football again. None of this setting up to nullify the opposition. Just be positive and go out there with the belief that we can beat anyone at any given time. For all his faults, Pardew's biggest mistake was never quite realizing what kind of club we are. He saw us as a club there to make the numbers, who would do really well just to chill in midtable security. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 By all accounts, McClaren is a good coach who understands the game and gets his teams playing tactically-sound, if uninspiring, football. And he doesn't seem like a self-important c***, which would be an improvement. Would it be the sexiest choice? Of course not. It'd probably be the safest choice. I'd prefer we gamble on someone like Galtier or Tuchel, but a calming presence at the helm wouldn't be the worst thing for this club, considering what we've been dealing with the past 4 years. And as far as uninspiring English managers go, I'd opt for the one who's actually had success in his career, regardless of consistency. Better inconsistently good than consistently crap. I reckon with what we have available (Cabella, De Jong, Perez, Aarons, Sissoko) he would have us playing some nice stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 To be honest Mcclaren is the only one who's been mentioned who I wouldn't want. Can you explain this? Why would you rather have McClaren than Tuchel, de Boer, Galtier? Think you read his post wrong. oh mos def... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Fans often turn on a manager after they leave, remember Allardyce being booed when he went back to Bolton with us despite doing an amazing job with them? Also worth remembering that a lot of football fans are complete f***ing dimwits whose opinions should be ignored. Not saying that there may not be good reasons for Boro and Twente fans not liking McClaren, just that it's hard to tell how relevant their opinions will be relating to how he'd do here. Dunno if that's part of the booing culture like. Our fans have booed James Milner for literally no reason whatsoever other than the fact that he no longer played for us, it's daft. Michael Owen etc, aye fair enough, but Milner whether you liked him or not always put in his all and was sometimes decent. Booing someone like that by default does my head in. They hated Sam Allardyce because of his ugly, long ball football, despite him being successful there. Stoke fans hate Pulis because of his ugly, long ball football, despite him being successful there. Fans just hate ugly, long ball football. You're wrong on Allardyce mind, I live in Bolton, they fucking love him, they hated him because he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Sanchez has been mentioned before. If Ashley isn't going to change his approach even slightly, he'll simply have to dig up another Pardew from the stockpile of washed-up, forgotten, shitehouse, nothing managers who'll bend over and take whatever - just for a crack at the big time. You'd think Sanchez falls into that category, just as Pardew did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
