Steve McClaren sacked as Newcastle United 'Head Coach' (Manager)

[Dr Gloom 21801]

kinnear? 

[rogerbarton 24]

I'd rate him worse than Kinnear given the circumstances. Was Carver ever more than 'interim manager'? If so, I'd probably put Carver below, yes.

[Dr Gloom 21801]

no, you're right. he was appointed temporary head coach until the end of the season, though it felt like a lot longer than that.

Sacked by Derby again

[ewerk 30221]

Oh, Steve.

[PaddockLad 17067]

To be sacked by one club is unfortunate, to be sacked almost exactly 12 months later by another just looks careless.....

[Renton 21231]

Sack me once, shame on you. Sack me twice, shame on me.

[NJS 4365]

They must have assumed he'd get them to the playoffs - more fool them.

[rogerbarton 24]

Quite remarkable to sack him five months in given what they knew when they appointed him. He'd already led them on a horrendous losing streak in his first spell there, and followed that up with a disastrous tenure here.

 

He gets them from the relegation places to tenth, and they get shot of him? Surely when he took over they weren't really entertaining the notion of the play-offs? Either way he's an absolute fraud, just seems like a really weird turn of events. Remember these guys sacked Paul Clement after 9 months with them safely in the play-offs last season. Look at the job he's doing at Swansea.

[ewerk 30221]

Seven out of his last eight jobs have ended in failure. You would think by now he'd have got the hint.

[Rayvin 5164]

Wow. I mean the guy sucks at managing football teams but that seems a bit trigger happy from Derby.

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

I didn't see it but I read he had his trademark grin on sharing a joke with Hughton whilst his team was losing. Enough to infuriate anybody.

[Haydnator 45]

One of the best moments of the season was McClaren being a pundit before our first game of the season for Sky, talking about us like he played absolutely no part in the reason why we're in the league we're in, was unbelievable and Holloway absolutely merked him

[ewerk 30221]

Wow. I mean the guy sucks at managing football teams but that seems a bit trigger happy from Derby.

He had one win in nine and sounds like he'd lost the dressing room too.

It looks like it cost £1,000,000 to get rid of him

[Alex 34786]

Bargain

[adios 717]

Bargain

 Was thinking the same thing.

[adios 717]

How does that £1m per season compare to the average in the Premiership these days?

[adios 717]

Looks reasonable for a bottom half side, surprisingly:

Canny pay off for 9 months work ( iuse the term loosely )

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Wonder what we're paying Rafa

[The Fish 10685]

He's doing it for nothing, just the opportunity to prove the knobheads on twitter that he's better at this than they are.

 

Myself included.

[Howmanheyman 32713]

Enjoying the Juventus v Barcelona game but being a bit spoiled by ian darke stating the obvious and by Steve McManaman being Steve McManaman.

[rogerbarton 24]

Apparently the pay off was lower because he took the Derby job within a few months. Thanks, Derby.
