September 22, 20168 yr I think QPR are probably in a mess as club. They have spent big money (transfer fees & wages) on poor players and have a bloated overpaid and under performing squad. To be a success there he probably needs Nigel Clough to take over for 5 years, half the wage bill, bring some cheaper, hungrier players in, establish an extensive scouting network of the Kilmarnock area and bring a couple of promising midfielders through. Then he'd be a success until he had his head turned by a bigger club.
September 22, 20168 yr I'd welcome McClaren back in a heartbeat, despite everything that went on. I remember being excited going to matches under McClaren, not that we were always great but we knew 9 times out of 10 we would be entertained. So far under Pearson I am bored and don't actually look forward to matches at the moment. I know it's probably wrong to feel this way but I have never felt so disillusioned as I do now.

September 22, 20168 yr If your missus cheated on you would you take her back? Don't think I could, wouldn't feel the same despite how good she may be in bed. Same thing with McClaren. QPR would be getting a decent manager, good luck if his head is turned by a better looking woman tho.

Same thing with McClaren. You Mrs never cheated on you though. She only moved in with another bloke after you kicked her out and filed for divorce. It's a terrible analogy anyway. Football managers aren't, and shouldn't be required to, take vows saying "till death do us part".

I'm fine with managers wanting bigger better things, shows ambition, all this wanting him to declare his love for Derby was just silly. We've been there tho, he had his chance, wanted to leave, waited for the push and pay off. End of an era. Time to move forward, would never be the same.
September 22, 20168 yr Imagine if he came back and decided to do a big speech about unfinished business. How cringeworthy would that be? Daft idea, shouldn't have mentioned it, who would do something as dumb as that?
September 23, 20168 yr I suspect he'll fail and it'll be curtains on his serious career as a manager. He tends to succeed when he can get on a good thing and ride it, where there's an OK situation that some good coaching could improve. He's pants when he has to "manage" things. However, I've had my fill of laughing at him at "toon" and if he goes there don't particularly wish him ill.

However, I've had my fill of laughing at him at "toon" and if he goes there don't particularly wish him ill. In his own words: 'The next step in the future will be as a chief executive or sporting director, or even running my own club,' McClaren was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. 'To do that I had to acquire different skills and go back to school. It's probably old age. I always wanted to coach and manage. I know that won't last forever. 'I still have a few years left in me yet on the field.' Sounds like he is going to have one last crack at managing and then take the ball and start his own club instead.
September 23, 20168 yr I don't think he could be hard/ruthless enough to be a CEO of a big club. Maybe he could do well with a smaller operation. (Would be nice to see York City sorted).

I'd get her in bed all worked up then gob on her and walk out ,that'll teach her.

McClaren was sacked by Derby wasnt he . he didnt resign. anyway I cant say how i would react if my missus cheated on me. Hillary Clinton is still married after all.
