McClaren spent time at QPR under Redknapp, so hopefully they'll make the first move.

 

I heard a journalist on the radio say QPR would have him like a shot but he has no interest in leaving Derby at this point in the season.  Apparently he really impressed everyone with his coaching when he was there and they want him back.

It has to go to Carver now after last night.  I thought he was really really brave for playing a striker and a fox in the box up top. With that and our pleasing form, it really is a no brainer.

If  McClaren was the choice the announcement for giving the job to JC would have come much earlier than announcement date. He said I am not leaving Derby long time ego and we still didn't announce JC for the remaining of the season well after that  for 10 more days. It seems there were a hope to get the guy with different sort of contractual obligations. Dummet mother cant know anything there is no way LC will discuss this kind of stuff with the players. Just like many clueless people she can speculate and get notice here and there. Garde and more likely Tuchel is what LC wants.

If it is McLaren they are waiting on and he does get them promoted, like others have said, not a given he'll want to leave them. If he doesn't then why are we interested in a man who can't do what the likes of Chris Hughton, Nigel Pearson, Steve Bruce, Shaun Dyache and Mick McMackem have done.

Depends, aren't we the ultimate club for Job Security?

and the polar opposite for ambition, McLaren strikes me as somebody who will at least want to try to compete, he did get Boro to the UEFA cup final (god knows how but there you go) which is taking it a lot more seriously than basically any club in England has except Fulham have in the last 10 years.

I think the biggest problem would be the remit of 'here, finish somewhere between 8th and 10th'. Every team he's been at for the last 15 years has wanted to be in the CL spots or at least challenge for them.

The biggest problem would be the remit of "do it without spending any money". Rafa does not do parsimony, as Brummie will attest.

not to mention his wage demands which won't be in the mike ashley pittance (by premier league standards) range and he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to act as a human shield for whatever stupid thing the club is doing next
