Would be incredibly underwhelmed with McLaren.

 

Aye.

 

I hated him at Boro with his magnificent bland football and I wouldn't want him now.  he does however seem a perfect fit for Ashley.

 

Grim.

I can see why they would want him but I cannot see why he would switch Derby for us.  Presumably he is the "manager" there rather than just a coach and can buy and sell who he likes.  He probably earns more at Derby than he would here.  He left Forest very quickly because he was unhappy with the set-up there and it is probably worse here.  I would also expect that he would not appreciate being told what he can and cannot say in the media.

 

Maybe he thinks he will get more of an influence because of a personal relationship with Carr.  And I think he still lives in Yarm so he would be nearer to his home.  Other than that, I can't see why we would be an attractive option to him.

 

I recall many complaints from Boro fans about negative and overly cautious football and their mocking when he regularly said they were "magnificent".  I have no idea whether his style of football over the years has improved.

 

His appointment would just scream continue to be average to me and that is a very depressing thought.  And it will be a joke if we end up with McLaren after months of supposedly searching for the right man to re-invigorate the club and bring a new energy and ideas is laughable.

I see it's taken most people absolutely no time at all to take for granted the fact that Alan Pardew is no longer our manager. Honestly man, cheer up ffs, everything from here on is change. Whether it's good or bad, ultimately there will be change.

This. Years of "Anyone but Pardew!!! Bruce! JFK! A dog!" and now it's "McClaren???  :anguish:"

I'd prefer other options, but I'd still be happy with McClaren.  Basically he isn't Pardew or Carver and I wouldn't know (and dread) what he's going to do every week.  Could be a year or so later I'd hate him and dread seeing his face and watching his team, but until then I'd at least have hope that won't happen and that we might actually be good.

It's the 6 months of Carver - another 3 month break then a real chance at seeing Steve in action that makes it so painful.

 

If Steve was starting on the weekend I wouldn't feel so negative, almost optimistic. But waiting for him... possibly.. the worst case scenarios start to pop-up.

 

I mean, Derby should go up so is he even going to come? What happens if he doesn't? Carver. And if Derby don't come-up it would be a negative strike against his abilities.

 

Looks a lose-lose.
