McClaren, Laudrup, Carvs, The tea lady?

[Monkeys Fist 42427]

I reckon he's on his rags this week.

 

Proper blob strop.

[Rayvin 5220]

Why can't people come on a forum, instantly realise it's pretty cliquey, that we've already established friendships, and fuck off?

 

There is definitely an element of this on here... I think it took about 9 months before anyone said anything to me directly outside of the intro thread

I count HMHM replying to my posts these days as my most significant social achievement on here.

I would take anyone with PL experience apart from McLaren. Laudrup, Di Matteo etc. My dream one is Benitez, but that's not going to happen.

[Andrew 4748]

It sure isn't since hes going to Real Madrid.

why apart from McClaren btw? I'd rather him than Laudrup who couldn't be arsed or Di Matteo whose big claim to fame is that he was there when Chelseas team won the Champions League for themselves after drumming out AVB

[Howay 12496]

Aye I prefer McClaren over Di Matteo for sure, ignore the England stuff as International football is a very different type of management and McClaren has a canny record. I also think Laudrup has very little chance of happening and if it does a walk out putting Carver back in charge would be very likely, meaning fuck that.

McClaren's recent work (Wolfsburg, Twente part II, Derby) has been rather poor too tbh

But hes at least done something decent that was actually his work in his managerial career.

His time at Boro wasn't great league-wise. One top ten finish in five seasons despite spending quite a bit of money.

[ohhh_yeah 2964]

And then to assure him of a postiion come pre-season? Why?

 

The inevitable reinstatement as interim when Ashley sends whatever foreign manager is brought in packing.

Aye I suppose, did win a trophy, albeit against poor opposition but he got there I suppose. I don't think he's amazing by any stretch just better than Pardew.

Carver is staying in whatever capacity because he has a long contract, as has been said by others on here many times before.

On PL record alone, McClaren makes Pardew look like a rank amateur, never mind the tin pot cup. But he still probably wouldn't be able to deal with the Ashley regime any better, or replicate what he did for Boro with us. His success at Boro cannot be divorced from the fact that it was in huge part down to factors entirely outwith his competence, and that it was for Boro. And even there, he got plenty of criticism for those things that were in his control. Although I fear if you put McClaren's Boro record in front of Charnley he's going to think he looks shit hot considering how bad we've been for many years, and how desperate McClaren will be for another chance in the PL. That's the consequence of having a football board that knows nothing about football.

Signed a 5 1/2 yr. contract in Jan 2011.

Given the shit wages, I doubt it'd be too much to pay him off now.

[RobinRobin 11263]

Time to slap him on the ignore list and move on.

 

Already done, thanks

Yeah, none of those get me particularly moist around the crotch. All a huge improvement on Carver and probably an improvement on Pardew, but no where near my (not unreasonable) hopes.

Where's this idea that keeps popping up that the shortlist is the same one as in January (Carver, Gard and McLaren) coming from? Is this just lazy journos, or does it have a (plausibly reliable) source?

[Noelie 103]

I understand that Fenwick's have placed an order to increase their Umbrella stock. Do they have inside information on what's in store.

[tinofbeans 91]

true, doesn't cut the mustard. he's steady and can get teams performing for a season (perhaps), but is not savvy enough.

You've got a real thing going with the umbrella there Noelie.

 

Whats so bad about them?

If the new coach told Charnley that getting shot of the coaching staff was a deal breaker then they would all leave and he would bring in his own people, contracts or not. After 5 minutes of fame how receptive do you believe Carver would be to being a No. 2 again and the new coach would know that he was a poisoned chalice.
