Finch Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 With Mac at least you know he can get the team playing positively unlike the recent dross. Think he would really get on board to regain his reputation as one of the best coach’s around. Fergie knew how good he was when after the double on Man U he took him away and they did their first treble.

His season went to hell because we simply didn't have the players. We could have changed it up, but it likely wouldn't have changed the result. I'm sure they would have tried stuff in training and Mac decided it wasn't going to help. At the start of this season, people rightly said Cocu should get time to get his squad fit, yet Mac isn't afforded the same luxury, despite the fact he lost the spine of his team to injury.

Chris_Martin Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I know that not everyone is wanting return of the Mac, but you can't deny he would give the players confidence and belief and get the team playing again. It could be this that gives the players a short term boost to get out the relegation zone. With Rooney as assistant maybe this could work, who knows? r_wilcockson and DCFC Kicks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's McClaren or not, I'd want a manager like McClaren who gives the attacking players freedom. I also think we have players suited to counter-attacking. You can see how dangerous Jozwiak is on the counter with his goal tonight. I don't think Benitez is either of these things which is why I don't want him. r_wilcockson, Chris_Martin and sunnyhill60 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's a short term deal till the end of the season i would love to see what Mac could do with this squad. At the very least he will not get us relegated which i think is now the objective this year unfortunately.

BriggRam Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) He could walk into the changing room and give the lads the same speech as he did at 4-1 down against Ipswich a few years back, god knows that worked, I'd love to know what it was he said or gave for that energy upturn, so would my missus she needs a good jump start but my I'm a bit flat with it all at the moment Edited November 22, 2020 by BriggRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play good football, score goals, probably concede some too but we seem to do that no matter who's in charge anyway. It's not what we think he would do, it is what he thinks he would do. According to a recent interview, he has been watching Derby a lot so must have a good idea of the set-up and its current failings. Which is a lot more than Rafa or Eddie Howe when a quick turnaround is essential. Jimbo Ram, Uptherams, Chris_Martin and 6 others 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I would love it if McClaren came back but can't see it happening. If he did come back I don't think we'd go down as McClaren IMO 'fits' our club. Rammy03, Jimbo Ram, Chris_Martin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'd trust McClaren to keep us up easy. He'd be getting us prepared for play off contention next season. I don't think he'd make took many changes either. With a decent budget he'd get us a forward or two and hopefully convince Will Hughes to come back. Some people are looking at our current situation and it's blurring what is necessary. Holmes is too injury prone and not effective enough. A replacement is needed. Rooney needs replacing. We will also be looking to replace/ find replacements for Martin (still), Waghorn and Marriott. I'd trust McClaren to replace these players and reckon two of them would be Hughes and Ivan Toney.
