Sexydadbod Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Every time McClaren has been sacked, it has been justified apart from the second spell at Derby. Can't see another championship club hiring McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, yet since he was sacked they've won what, twice? Not all sackings are because the manager is poor, sometimes the owner cocks up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was suggesting was that many on here believe McClaren is this and that but he has been sacked pretty much every where and his recent managerial spells, apart from Derby,have been disasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're basing it on sackings it seems. Ranieri has been sacked about 6 times I think they said after Leicester. Rafa Benitez is about the same. Tony Pulis has been sacked twice maybe.

angieram Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Of course the less years that you have been managing the less times you're likely to have been sacked. (Or should that be fewer?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Mac will get another job easily. He has a proven winning record of games better than most available managers. Anyway, I will start to judge Rowett at the end of the summer. My first interest will be if he realises just how much cannon fodder we have and if he can persuade other teams to take them off outer hands. Until then, this season is only good for showing him how bad (inconsistent a better word, but that relates to bad) our players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Mac AND Rowett have both been sacked more times than me, therefore I am a better manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archied Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's impossible to say who is the better manager Mac/ rowett , all you can do is say which one is the right fit for Derby county at this time in your opinion , it's a gut feeling thing and mel feels it's rowett ,,, either one has a very tough job in front of them as they are tasked with getting promotion for a club that is geared for it , fully expects it and has an owner prepared to back financially to achieve it , so in short there is no hiding place for any manager of Derby now , clough in my view did a very good job with us but the goal posts have moved now and it's a much tougher job ,,, delivering when it's fully expected is a different task from overachieving when it's not expected for a manager and it takes a special something within a manager to succeed in those circumstances , my feeling is that Mac had perhaps become stale at Derby and maybe the blueprint he conveyed to Mel for the future did nt inspire him , with rowett I feel he has earnt the chance for a crack at the Derby job and would be my pick over Mac at this point but in fairness I cannot say he is a better manager than Mac ,, it's a bit like our will , we are going on perceives potential to become a top player/manager ,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro left for England job England sacked Twente left for Wolfsburg Wolfsburg sacked Forest quit Twente quit Derby sacked Newcastle sacked Derby sacked Sacked 5 times left by his choice 4 times. And your point of his 2nd spell at Twente about everyone wanting him gone, the board of directors were begging him to stay, he was 1 or 2 points off 2nd place when he left (can't remember exactly but it was very tight at the top) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably "fewer" for Rowett and "less" for McClaren using the usual differentiator of less being for uncountable quantities :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddy Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Surely achievements as a manager should be the only basis for judging how good he is. Mac's record is so much better than GR, but GR has not been coaching at 1st team level as long as mac. GR might turn out to be the best coach ever at Derby, time will tell. I do like like what I hear when listening to GR and I think every Derby fan wants him to succeed, why wouldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
