Rams1884 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 No not a potential new signing but from my memory of Greek Theban plays this is the word that best describes Maclaren's current situation. Basically he is a busted flush and did not play a good hand at all. In fact he made a major error in keeeping his options open so publically. From hero to zero. Only my thoughts of course but personally would be happy for him to leave and think he will be gone soon anyway. I also dont think he is good enough to get us promoted and lets not forget he has never won a promotion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes you're right, and we've got a history of getting rid of our best managers.we're much better off in mid table with a mediocre manager, or fighting relegation with a **** manager.There's no pressure then, no stupid queues for tickets, no traffic queues, we'd only only have to buy one, maybe two cup tickets every season, we can just tootle along to the ground with our flasks and our blankets, not have to worry about trying to win games, or getting all excited about where we are in the table, we wouldn't have to keep our diaries open for May in case we reach the stupid play offs, we'd be able to start thinking about the summer hols when the season finishes in February. much better than this farce.

Rams1884 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Its no wonder I hardly ever post. People tend to get so prickly all the time. I was just posting my thoughts. I am surprised that Maclaren is still being blindly supported by majority after the debacle of the end of season, irrsepcetive of what came before. I personally feel he has taken us as far as he is capable, but Its not just about his capability as a coach(which I am starting to believe is not all he is cut out to be) but more about integrity and loyalty and the way I feel he has handled the situation. If I was in Rush's shoes I would want rid of him too but would not want to show my hand until he showed his or other clubs come calling. Lets see what happens shall we...?

Day Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 McClaren has had one full season in charge and taken us as far as he can? Really?Come on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 See all the speculation and fuss around McClaren's future only bothers you if you're speculating or fussing. It doesn't bother me because if he's leaving then he'll leave. I don't need to know his plans or how close or not close to leaving he is. I'm not arsed. People come and go. He won't be the best manager we ever have and he won't be the worst. Everyone moaning about speculation... stop speculating and it will go away. Honest.It's like Thorne last season. The "Saga" that dragged on. "move on" they said. It took 2 weeks to sign him. That's it. 2 weeks to part WBA with a player they didn't want to sell. It only felt like a saga because we checked for updates every 10 minutes. Just like Mac said its all paper talk, Rush said they're confident of signing Thorne. You can ignore that and dramatise it or you can say "yeah" and just carry on until something actually changes. It's same with all transfer gossip nowadays. Where's Benteke going? What's the latest? Who's closest to signing him? Has he been shopping in Manchester? Why does it matter? He signs where he signs. Derby County managers with a 54%+ win ratio aren't common.

He's also only been in charge of two second tier clubs. Forest for that unfortunate spell, and us for the past nearly two seasons, where he put in serious challenges for promotion both times with a side that had previously considered a top half finish good.

I wonder how many promotions Fergie, Mourinho and Wenger got! Also Mancini, Guardiola, Ancelotti and Van Gaal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Mancini, Guardiola, Ancelotti and Van Gaal.Sir Alex Ferguson: 1, St Mirren 76-77 Scottish First DivisionJose Mourinho: 0Arsene Wenger: 0Roberto Mancini: 0Pep Guardiola: 1, Barcelona B 07-08 Tercera DivisionCarlo Ancelotti: 0Louis van Gaal: 0From this we can conclude that Pep Guardiola is literally as good as Sir Alex and possibly even Billy Davies!
