Well: 1) Steve clearly remains a polarising figure in the eyes of Rams fans; 2) This thread, along with countless others, probably highlights our lack of January activity. It's a slow news month thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Willow Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 First time, I would have taken a gamble on him, so it's definitely YES. Second time, I wouldn't have brought him back, it wasn't such a good idea, so it's definitely NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in response, the topic came up in a thread about Rowett, and I felt it was harsh on McClaren, undeservedly so, and am within my right to defend my opinion, but instead of ruining that thread, I created this thread, as is my right as a legend and prolific genius on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 1st time I thought it was a clever appointment, don’t forget the additions of Simpson and Steele really sweetened the deal. Didn’t care what he’d done elsewhere, it just felt a good fit 2nd time felt like we were trying to rebuild something that was long destroyed. Worked short term, but old problems soon reared themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I totally believe that had he got us promoted, this thread would not exist. I voted yes and he proved to be a good coach and more down to injuries and no back up that he failed to get us over the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I voted "yes". I had a recollection that I'd had an email exchange with Sam Rush when I pushed the idea of McClaren coming back, but when I go through old messages I see it was actually Tom Glick! Interestingly, I do see I pressed Sam that we should push the boat out to try to sign a certain Curtis Davies, a player I'd long admired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was intrigued by what he was going to do, and genuinely excited the first time in about 3 years about going to matches. Let me get this right? You heard we’d signed Mac1, didn’t think at all about how he’d failed at Forest, and his fake Dutch accent, his failed England job, but went straight out and bought a season ticket without him taking control of a single game? Righto. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck- Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I wanted him at the time based on him being a great forward thinking coach, who had won things with underachieving teams - Middlesbrough, and Twente. But I'm no judge of manager - I was against the appointment of Arthur Cox, and thought Gregory was a good choice. I was ambivalent over the appointment of Rowett, but he has won me over. In some ways he reminds me of Arthur Cox - early sacrifice of star players to achieve a better team (Kevin Wilson), building a strong team ethic, a strength under adversity, and an ever improving level of football.

PodgeyRam Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I wasn't overly enamoured when he was announced as manager. My main memories of him were as England and Forest manager. So for that reason I've voted no. I'm delighted he proved me wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I was happy enough for us to give him the job because I thought he would improve the team with his coaching. I wasn't sure about his ability to manage, but thought he might have improved by learning from past mistakes or that we could have got in a wiser head to help him.
