Guest Roger Kint Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If they're now seriously looking at this calibre of manager it does make you wonder what they were thinking wanting McClaren after Pardew left. Charnley must have put a lot of stock in how McClaren performed with FC Twente, pipping teams such as PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord and AZ to the Dutch title with Tiote watching from the bench. He did well at Middlesbrough by all accounts but has had little if no success anywhere else he's managed. Definitely a gambler's punt if there ever was one tbh, I don't agree with the reasoning but I can understand it. Being cheap and clearly a soft touch would be the main reasons we picked him. Christ just look at how this week has gone, any normal man would come out and stick up for himself either to media or at the very least to the club.

He'll get Krul back to his best As if we're keeping Janmaat. the rafa effect Palermo away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberts Mustache Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Oh dear, oh dear. I've actually got my hopes up now and were just daydreaming about Rafa bringing in a whole new back line and proper DM's in the summer. #snapoutofit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 TBH, the footballing reason is that McClaren should've easily been able to get enough out of our squad to finish out of the bottom 3-6 teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised at how poorly he's done to be honest, I would have thought he'd have been better than Pardew at least. He only got sacked from a club one league below us before joining rather than 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The one thing that would encourage me about his appointment is that he is nobody's fool. The board are not going to be able to manipulate him and he will not necessarily tow the party line in public. Everyone is aware of that so you assume they must be as well - in which case you would hope it signals a recognition that they need to change the way they do things. I also think that he would be good for the Academy etc as he overhauled Liverpool's set-up and that side of things seems to have been badly neglected.
