Millenniumram Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nope, if a managers been sacked he doesn’t come back imo. Same should have been for mcclaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Not unless we lost all of our good players, had to work on a shoestring budget and were in the relegation places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you ever, under any circumstances, take Nigel Clough back as manager? Yes, but I think he’s in a position that he’s more than happy in. Too many under appreciate the job he did here sadly. The stats that @admira did last week show the impact that the players he brought in had. We were very fortunate to get him, a lot of managers can promise they will buy cheap, use youth and get rid of the deadwood but Clough actually did it. He was an ‘experienced head’ in his back room staff away from having a proper promotion push himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah but not when he's still losing half his games and he'd have to shake that tendency to start grinding. I like the bloke. I like what he seems to value. He delivered attractive football (before undoing it to fix results) and he signs the players (mostly) that work hard and suit an attractive style when he can afford them. It's just that "clean sheet" talk and how he tended to go back to selecting a line up that would battle for a result at the first sign of things going a bit dodgy.

JoeDerby Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 No. Going up 1-0 at home and defending the lead for the rest of the game is nearly as bad as Rowett's style of football and we always conceded too, so it was pointless. Painful. Can't be bothered. Much rather score 4 and concede 3 ? and not to say his away record was nothing short of shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If he accepted he must work with the current coaching staff, and brought back Jonny Metog, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sometimes tactically naive? Going 5-4-1 with thirty minutes to go is asking for it, in footballing terms. He knew how to pick a player though. And they all seemed to love him.

Often pinned in our own half at home with no ambition to get a second call, not even trying to counter attack, it was more hit it in to the corners and wait for their next attack. He knew how to pick a player.. Ben Pringle Lee Croft Paul Dickov Lee Hendrie Luke Varney Chris Porter Cywka Ben Davies Conor Doyle I know he was on a tight budget but there's some shockers there.
