Used to hate going to games 4-4 draw over a 0-0 any day of the year, clean sheets are overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 No. while the football was beautiful until this time last year there's just summat about Steve that I don't like. He's smarmy. bit like how you imagine Eddie Howe's dad would be. He reminds me of Tony Blair or David Cameron......stares earnestly at the camera while lying through his teeth.

But how anyone can prefer the football now over the McClaren days is beyond me. Fast attacking edge of your seat football Vs slow paced, non creative possession football. I know what I'd prefer everyday of the week, you don't win games with 65% possession and 0 shots on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I was wondering how Mac would get on with this team, would we be better than with Paul? Don't real know, but I do know it would be so much more exciting to watch.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'd have McClaren back if it stopped Nigel Pearson getting the job but that's about it, Utch pretty much summed McClaren up for me. Unlike Eddie who will back any appointment to the hilt, I'd be mortified if Pearson was appointed in any capacity at our club and would be against him before the ink was dry on his contract.

Yep, at least if you're a free creative team and you do get caught out that you can score. At 3-1 down in the last 10 minutes we actually used to believe that we'd come back. With the keep it tight mentality you aren't as open to getting caught but it only takes a free kick, a deflection, a handball... Like Burnley away or Charlton etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Having maclaren the manager /coach is no guarantee that you get the flowing football which is what we all really miss. He produced some dreadful stuff at forest as well as signing some dross. Think he had a congruence of perfect conditions with us - players like Martin playing out of their skin to resurrect careers and young guns like will eager to impress and untainted by any thought of failure. Life has moved on for all participants. Never go back thinking you can recreate history. I can appreciate it though - some of the memories are fantastic.

G-Ram Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Nope ... He was fantastic at first but pretty much everyone wanted him out in the end. No plan B. i also thought he should have shown us more loyalty and ruled himself out of the neecastle job no loyalty especially when we gave him a chance in the english game & at a time he was considered rubbish by most people in football the one thing that really annoyed me was him sitting in the stands for the first half of a game and being on that daft telephone always thought he should have been in the dig out screaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Without reading all the previous posts, i have been thinking about McClaren and where it all went wrong. When Mel completed his takeover he revealed then how he started investing the day after the playoff final. It was during that season that he decided to complete a takeover. There were rumours flying around that Steve and Mel didn't see eye to eye. With rumours now of Mel meddling in business he ought not to, I do wonder if the catalyst for Steve to seek alternative employment was when Mel joined the club. It was just a thought.

i-Ram Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 8 hours ago, curtains said: Of course I enjoyed the football under McClaren . At Wembley I felt like crying after the game . He did well for Derby but it all imploded towards the end of last season We move on and now it's the Clement era . This is Football. I can't believe you didn't cry after Wembley. I miss the tempo that McClaren gave the side, and also the togetherness he fostered (until being tempted by the Sports Direct Dollar). However, I think he is, and always will be, tactically naive, and as Uttox says he is far too smarmy. If he had been in charge for the Man U cup game LVG's clipboard would have been covered in drool. And whilst I am at it, anyone who holds on to a 'tuft' for so long has to be very very suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Ram Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If the story in the Telegraph at the time is halfway true then the Toon rumours were neither here nor there - Mel was always going to get rid. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/11626305/Why-Candy-Crush-is-to-blame-for-Steve-McClarens-sacking-by-Derby.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
