RadioactiveWaste Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hello Schteve McClaren Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you bawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They sacked you before you walked And now Geordies loath your name And it seems to me you coached your team Like a tufty in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the injuries set in And I would liked to have known you told you to replace George Thorne Your defenders burned out long before Your tufty ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Jim Smith created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Failed England Qualified Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Wally with the brolly And it seems to me you coached your team Like a tufty in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the injuries set in And I would liked to have known you told you to replace George Thorne Your defenders burned out long before Your tufty ever did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise we had one? I thought Mel just sat at home with fifa running until he found a bloke on there he likes. Rumours are that mels fifa 17 broke and he had to go back to fifa 15 (back when mac was a good manager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're a hypocrite. I bet you're probably old enough to remember when he nearly came back, and I bet you wanted him to. Thought that's where you were going but didn't want to spoil your preamble. 1. I'm not old enough. Born in the late 1970's. So you're wrong. 2. Even if I was, you certainly wouldn't have known what my feelings would have been. So you're wrong to assume anything. 3. Your comparison of Clough's resignation due to fallouts with Longson with McClaren's sacking because he couldn't decide whether to go to a bigger club, is frankly ridiculous. So much so, it barely merits pointing out the obvious differences. 4. Don't call me a hypocrite when you clearly have no understanding what the word means. Other than that, great post.

I don't think I've said anything particularly damning, and I don't think making predictions is classed as scare-mongering. Besides, this is a forum, hardly a source of great professionalism. Mel, even if he ever did consider reading my intended application, could laugh me out of his office. But I'll never know unless I apply. I could do similar work for another club, but I'd prefer to do it at a club I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not happy! When we sacked Mclaren it was the right decision. We had been found out tactically and had no plan b. People say the injuries cost us but I remember Brentford home I'm sure he had Martin on the wing keogh right back and Dawkins cm all because he wanted to stick to his one trick that had 'worked' the year before. I was hoping Newcastle would take him and pay us compo but we ended up sacking him and paying him off! He then went to Newcastle and as I expected miserably failed. He got them relegated. It's no coincidence when rafa came in their form massively improved but by then the damage was done. I'm worried. He will try play the same way but the likes of Hendrick, Dawkins, Ward and Martin have gone. Even if Martin did come back he's not what he once was so he wouldn't get us 20+. I know I'm being negative and I know some of you will shoot me down but I'm concerned. I hope I look back at this post end of season and laugh at my self but my thoughts are not positive. Time to listen to return of the mac and attempt to get positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know you, your lot are all the same. giving it the blah blah blah and yah yah yah. You're struggling. Where in my posting history have I ever advocated 'happily sacking' managers? For your benefit, post (on page 18 of this thread) I made on Sunday before McClaren's return was a probability. Note the line in bold. 'When we hired McClaren, his stock was so low he was an assistant manager at QPR. Whilst I don't always buy into the idea of loyalty in football (we'd have driven him out very early had results not worked out), I did find his less than vehement rejection of Newcastle's interest very annoying in the circumstances. I'd argue that McClaren got much more out of Derby than we did out of him - yes, we saw some great football but this was off the back of Clough's team & McClaren didn't even stick around to see the job out - jumping straight to the Premiership ahead of us. Quite apart from the fact that the circumstances are now much different to October 2013 (much higher expectations, different owner, bloated highly paid squad), I would be very unhappy to see McClaren given another chance here. He had his time & it wasn't enough to satisfy his ambitions. Why would it be different 3 years later?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 @LeedsCityRam but you're stating your conspiracy theories (lies) as fact. "it wasn't enough to satisfy his ambitions"?? What are you basing that on? the facts are he stated the total opposite, on numerous occasions, and didn't leave of his own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
