toontownman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I know he is highly thought of by many people but.. seriously why Mclaren. He has failed at all but two managerial posts he has been at. Even all this talk of him reclaiming dignity at Derby was due to his predecessor setting him up and bringing through great youth players.. and he still failed. I just can't see anyone else be appointed though. Other than the fact he apparently works well with youth and likes attacking football on the deck, he is the most uninspiring choice and personality which won't help heal the rift between fans and the club or draw anyone back. At least he will be motivated to prove doubters wrong and might bring Steve Round back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd take Viera over McClaren for no reason but I loved Viera the player and the unknown that he is in terms of abilities as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd take Viera over McClaren for no reason but I loved Viera the player and the unknown that he is in terms of abilities as a manager. No experience > bad experience I'd rather take a chance than recycle some has-been . Our transfer policy is (allegedly) all about finding younger talents and developing them. Shouldn't the same be done with the managers? Instead we've had 60 year old Joe Kinnear, MLS failure John Carver and Pardew. While I'd rather take on a young manager with some experience this is at least different from the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think Viera is pretty relevant to up and coming players too now. They all idolize a player of his abilities and stature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have an unhealthy, almost weird hatred of McLaren so it's pretty much a no brainer and I'd take the risk. The fact we'd be taking a risk though is absolutely pointless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Vieira was a great leader on the pitch and in the dressing room; that's something that translates as a managerial skill at least (then again Keane was a leader too). I can't certainly see him taking shit from the higher-ups either. Dunno why they suddenly go for a hail mary given the field of exciting and more proven managers though.

Village Idiot Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I will also admit that I was against appointing Guardiola because he was "unproven"; so I know fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Guardiola had been very successful with the B team hadn't he? Plus he was a Barca guy, he knew the club and the style of football expected of him. It was in his DNA. Vieira from what I've read (on here about 10 minutes ago ) hasn't done a particularly good job with a talented bunch of kids at City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would rather have McClaren than Vieira... Why? Zero experience is a major concern. Compared with someone who has domestic,European and International experience. Would love Vieira to be a top manager for us but it just doesn't feel right. Another huge gamble when we have so many proven managers out there willing to take the job. KK had zero experience, hell he hadn't even coached reserves before. Take a chance on Vierra over the known crap factor of McLaren or Charver any day of the week. Huge difference being that KK had the license to sign who he wanted without restriction. Getting a manager who has no experience and not allowing him to sign his preferred players is a huge gamble. Why take that risk when you have better,proven managers available? Absolutely no need for us to be taking a gamble on an unproven manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement is a similar boat and I'd be excited with someone like that. Young, who has worked under big names at big clubs, will no doubt have good contacts in the game and new methods.

Dave Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-set-sign-six-9360836 United’s owner gave his first televised interview last week and has now told key club staff that the Magpies are in good enough financial shape to be big players in the summer transfer market. His mood was said to be upbeat after securing survival and Newcastle have lined up deals that are ready to go after they make a head coach appointment – probably in the latter part of this week.

Absolutely no need for us to be taking a gamble on an unproven manager. Not in the early days he didn't - the only signings he brought in the summer before we pissed the old 1st Division were Bracewell, Beresford and Venison for around a combined 1 million - the big signings didn't start coming until after he had proved he could do the job.

Bizza Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Why is everyone going mental over Viera but turning their nose up at Mclaren? One has managerial experience in bucketfuls and has won trophies across Europe, the other manages the kids at Man City. I know who I'd rather have tbh.

Because McLaren has failed at all but two of the clubs he's managed, is yet another one from the British dinosaur roundabout and will all but guarantee boring mid-table shite for the foreseeable future. Vieira on the other hand is one of the most respected players in the world, has won pretty much everything there is to win and has worked under great managers like Wenger and Mourinho. From what we've seen he is a progressive, modern, attack minded manager which would be a very welcome breath of fresh air around SJP. With McLaren we know it'll be shite, with Vieira it only might be shite and even if it is it'll at least be a bit exciting for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
