YorkshireRam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 McC maybe best of a poor lot to choose from. It's his signing of the likes of Greening, Boetang and Derbyshire at Florist that concern me !! That's why we're appointing a Director of Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I keep seeing his signings at Forest brought up and then shot down with the director or football argument. For me you can't just dismiss his signings that easily. We're looking at 2 men that will be new to the club, both will want to succeed so you would hope they would be working together closely. Will the new director just go out and sign players without talking to McClaren or will McClaren be asked for his opinions? McClaren saw Greening, Boatang, Miller, Derbyshire as being the players to take Forest up! his opinion should be cause for concern. If the director goes ahead with his own plans and McClaren doesn't agree and can't work with the hand he's dealt with we could be in trouble further down the line. Interesting times ahead that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnram Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My first choice is almost anyone but Pulis. Next choice is most definitely Steve McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting times ahead that's for sure. We're also having his supposed Dutch and German connections touted as good points. So are we assuming that he will use these connections to suggest signings to the guy bought in over his head to sign players for him, and then he not be allowed to sign them because we don't trust his ability to sign players?

peakram Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Dont like the idea of a director of football and a coach too unless they are absolutely on the same wavelength, sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, an accident waiting to happen. Not sure very many people would take the job as "coach" in these circumstances if they are a strong minded individual, think there is a lot of potential for fallouts and big rows if things don't go to plan. Pulis is understood to be unlikely to get the job according to the Telegraph and in the role lined up, it looks like McClaren would have the coaching credentials but who would exactly be deciding what and giving the team talks etc? Pretty obvious the Americans had wanted this set up for some time but Clough poo poo-ed it if I remember right when it was aired a year or two back.

notts_ram Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 63 to 37 for McClaren so far hardly a glowing endorsement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
