BondJovi Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Rubbish. Nixon never mentioned him. I keep forgetting that Nixon is the official spokesperson for Derby County. A role in which his information is 100% factual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This is where the article seems to fall down for me. McClaren is not out of contract in the summer, so why would compensation amounts differ (other than there will be 4 months less of his contract to buy out) if he goes now or if he goes in the summer? As to whether McClaren would leave if we fail to get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This is spot on. Ashley doesn't give a fig about Newcastle, is notoriously tight and will never pay compensation. Derby would want very significant compensation. Therefore this story has not the slightest legs. However, I despair of the inevitable panic that will ensue...

Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Seriously? That would mean that they would have had to approach Derby beforehand - otherwise it would be construed as deliberate 'tapping-up'. Tapping up is easy and rife nowadays via agents. We were one of the last to make a formal objection with Sturridge ...complaints go nowhere. Times have changed........ Anyway, nothing happening in next few months .....we just need to get on and concentrate as a club on what we do know. Mac is 99% certain to stay this season. As an owner I would be concerned come the summer, and that can impact confidence to spend "big" now Realise this is all speculation, but we all have different angles. Working in Finance, spotting Mergers relies on intuition and no little speculation to see events in a different light. Newcastle have definitely spun this story to The Sun ...... most likely to appease their fans . I personally think Ashley is approaching Mgt Structure in the right way. Days of managers solely picking players etc is long gone. Need Head coach to be able to recommend/suggest players and also to agree to play them. Thing is, Newcastle brought in some very useful players, so Pardew was never going to not play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I keep forgetting that Nixon is the official spokesperson for Derby County. A role in which his information is 100% factual.

Gerry Daly Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think it is highly likely that Newcastle want McLaren and just like us with George Thorne, aren't about to be put off by an initial rebuttal or even after several of them. I also think its quite possible, or even likely that his agent has been talking to them to see what sort of thing might be on offer. Why wouldn't he? Just like us with George Thorne they are probably also allowing their 'interest' to be known to the media in the hope that doing that helps wiggle it a bit That's just how business is done I think.

Ewe Ram Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This is a revelation to me. The daily rags print stuff that is true? Frankly their page 3 antics are more interesting than their sporting opinions. And that's brain numbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not surprised at this we were discussing on the other SM thread only yesterday why he was still a short priced second favourite for NUFC - now we know why! Yes now we know why. Because idiots put bets on based on what they read in the papers, and somehow don't see that they're falling for the sort of **** that makes the bookies rich.

Bris Vegas Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Can't see Mac going there, would take years for him to sort them out to fit his style of play. They'd likely go backwards before going forwards, and he knows that at any moment if they are within a few points of the relegation zone they'll be baying for blood. Unrealistic supporters. The Newcastle job is a poisoned challice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Daly Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 That's very true Bris Vegas. It would be high risk and if it turned into another Forest scenario it could finish him in English football for good. If he has any sense he will realise there is a special 'fit' for him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
