It’s the shocking runs at Forest, Derby, Newcastle and Derby again that have people concerned. You mean the basket case owners at Forest and Newcastle? And also until they decided to give up, Derby were top of the league in March 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Megson back before McClaren, the only person I'd put him before is Bryan Robson. I definitely wouldn't like him here BUT...if he does come to us I'll give him the chance & support I'd give anyone else, maybe he'd be a good fit, who knows, we can only hope.

Well before the summer buy in/clear out. What the hell is having Bullen for the rest of the year going to do for us long-term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when CC was appointed, most people were a tad underwhelmed if the truth be known. Went quite well and then the wheels fell off as it does to most football clubs at some point. massive call for a chairman who imo still doesn't get the game and is reliant on advisers ( I know he's not the only one ).... Tough one to call the next appointment !!! ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudders Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 He’s spent years at Man Utd-Sir Alex rated him. He managed England. He knows his football. He’d make an excellent D.O.F im sure. If he’s been spoken to about management, what harm is there in him taking the job til the end of the season with a huge bonus for promotion? We are cast adrift at the minute, nothing at all to lose.

Do you really think he'd come until the end of the season , gain promotion and then we get rid !! personally I think we need to put this idea of getting a manager in until the end of the season to bed.

Id offer him the job until the end of the season with a big bonus if he got promotion and obviously he would be given a year in the PL. Let both parties review how things have gone at the end of the season. We could pay him a good wage to agree to the above to make it worth his while. If he’s a disaster then we’ve not got tied into a long expensive contract and the compensation he’d be due. If it works well and we narrowly miss the play offs then I can’t see why both parties wouldn’t want to renew the contract for a season in the championship.

I guess it's all about opinions and points of view Tudders... Unfortunately I think we'll have to agree to disagree mate. For me he's one of those managers that's just gone stale and just hasn't got enough spark or enough character for what we need right now. ( imo) personally think we are going to struggle to get to the play offs and for that reason alone I would prefer to appoint a manager on a permanent deal as opposed to an end of the season deal .... Let the new manager start building straight away rather than having to start again in the summer ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a game play here. :Fans react negatively to rumours of McLaren :club leak fake news that he's turned us down :club announce the deal & fans are now pleased Common trick in sales. Pretend the product isn't available; & the desire for it increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
