i-Ram Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Just had a quick flick through the last two hours of excitement. I am amazed at how many think his job might involve training and dug out responsibilities? If we select a younger, less experienced manager of course he will be available to offer counsel, but please read what the club says in its statement: McClaren has agreed a contract to act as an advisor to the board with immediate effect. In this capacity he will assume the role and duties of both advisor and Technical Director, a position which has been identified by agreement between Mel Morris and Derventio Holdings as important to the future of the club. Nobody has seen the job description, and I suspect given our club one hasn’t been typed yet, but it strikes me that his position is more related to offering guidance and helping shape strategy for the club’s future owners on the start of their journey (hopefully with Morris taking a complete back seat). I think he will almost certainly be in a suit rather than a tracksuit. The statement does not seem either to suggest he will have a ‘Director of Football’ brief. As likely that he will have as much input into player acquisition strategy as our new manager, Darren Wassall and Joe McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelBlimp Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 3 hours ago, Ambitious said: I am at the crossroads of all my emotions. It definitely means that we're about to appoint a manager with little to no experience, Terry or Rooney, with McClaren making sure they don't completely poo the bed. I really am struggling to have an opinion. I really don't know how this will play out, but I'm a big fan of McClaren in any capacity. He's always done a good job here, including his last stint where he shouldn't have been sacked. Mac 1 and Mac 2 are the best performing managerial periods for this club (and Billy Davies) since Brian Clough in terms of win percentage. I'd give a kidney to see some of that football again, I really would. I wouldn't. I only have one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Interesting to note that McClaren is essentially taking over quite a few areas that were under Cocu’s remit as head coach. I do wonder whether a bit of feedback was given that Cocu was overloaded and that they need someone to take care of the development/club identity stuff so the head coach can focus on purely on the first team.

Tombo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Derby are destined to keep hiring and firing McClaren over and over again forever. This is Mac 3, but I can see this having as many sequels as Rocky. Mac: The Innocent Climb Mac II: Return of the Mack Mac III: This Time It's Technical Mac IV: Mac in Space Mac V: The Mac Strikes Back Mac VI: Mac in Manhattan Mac VII: Mac in the 'Hood And so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who might they appoint who does not have the qualifications I wonder? I think he is alluding to Schteve's recent quals in Football Directorship. . .

In all honesty, deep down we know we aren't in trouble. I don't believe we will be near the relegation zone come end of the season. We need tweaking to become more of an attacking threat rather than over cautious. In denial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably seen as a basket case by many top new manager names and so we are likely to have to make our way with a novice under guidance from a DoF. In this scenario, maybe SM is as good as we can hope for. Who knows, it might actually work and if not, he could be a stop-gap 1st team coach whilst the search starts all over again.....I've given up second guessing what is going on! Hi mate hope you’re well bud.....yep I get what you’re saying but just feels like a mess at the moment I don’t think it’s healthy having so many opinions and not one person at the helm ....I wouldn’t have minded Mac just to help out until the end of the season even but as a coach which is what he’s good at ....

Rammeister Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 It’s an omen! It’s the fifth time he’s been here; and as the old nursery rhyme goes: The MACPIE ‘One be for sorrow (he wasn’t great as a player for us first time he was here) Two for joy (Superb coach with Bald Eagle) Three for a girl (Acted like one when Newcastle were interested, when here for the 3rd time) Four for a boy (His son at Derby- Head of Scouting) Five for silverware!!! ? Back for a fifth time! Six for gold ? Seven for a secret never to be told (Paul Jewell territory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
