Noodles Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 McClaren would be such an anti climax of an appointment. Another English plodder to add to the list of whoppers we've had since Bobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Off the top of my head. I can't think of a decent English manager I'd want here? Apart from maybe someone like Eddie Howe from the lower leagues. But he's not going to venture this far north. Especially to manage the shower of shite, that is NUFC. He's got a good thing going at Bournemouth. Thinking about it. I can't think of the last truly decent English manager to do well consistently at the highest level? Fuck, that is nearly as depressing as our current set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think he's streets ahead of Pards like, but yeah it would be pretty gash comparatively, not sure why he would leave Derby if they go up anyway Why wouldn't he..? All he has to do at NUFC is finish in top 10, no pressure for Cups, surety of Ashley forking out if the club looks like getting into trouble...all this, and a quiescent crowd, happy to ask him for a wave for achieving the above.... He won't have all that at Derby....after all, they have won titles in the past 40-odd years, which is more than NUFC have done.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Depends what the set up is like there and what kind of investment there is in the team. Id jump ship to another Premiership club if I felt the club I was at wasnt taking the correct steps to ensure I was equipped with the best chance of achieving survival at least.

ben-nufc Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think Mclaren still gets a rough ride from his time with England. His club record isn't bad and I think he's an excellent coach, which is basically our remit for a manager anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 McClaren would be uninspiring after the talk about Garde but I reckon he's a pretty good coach. As for the patter about the Boro fans not liking him, well that was 10-15 years ago, his first real manager job, and he did win the league cup there.

Varadi Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You would imagine McClaren would be more open to keeping the current coaching staff around too, which would be another big plus in Ashley's eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I would be elated with McClaren if the alternative is Carver. My goodness. This is the genius of Mike Ashley, managing ambition and gradually lowering our expectations. We were all thrilled at the prospect of Tuchel and Garde, by giving Charver the job until the end of the season, we are now positively gagging at the prospect of Championship Shteve. I did think that now Charnley was in charge of recruitment we might venture out with a manager from the continent, but it looks like he's the same as Ashley, only comfortable with a pie and chips manager.

ilikenewcastle Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'd have McClaren, I'd certainly be surprised if we have a better head coach this time next year. I wouldn't say the favourites (Garde, de Boer) are exactly streets ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
