MaltRam Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Pleased, but not surprised. He's a thoroughbred as a coach. It's be madness not to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 By the sounds of the Abu Derby thread there is not much demand for his liaising skills so he's perhaps a bit bored.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Good to see smiling faces. Now, I know there will be those who’ll come on and mention given our precarious position they shouldn’t be having a laugh but I disagree, a bit of light relief can be a good thing, particularly when integrating new members to the squad.

ramit Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well, that made my day. Great to see the maestro coach in his environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Still doesn’t quite sit right with me that you appoint someone as technical director, effectively an advisor to the board, and then have him out there coaching. Feels like a conflict of interest to me. McClaren should be working separately from Rooney in his current role - in fact, he should almost be above him, helping to judge his performance. Doesn’t feel like he’d give a particularly unbias appraisal if he’s that close to him. Don’t get me wrong, I think McClaren is an excellent coach, and I’d be delighted to have him on Rooney’s staff. But if you want to do that, make him a coach, and remove his role with the board. Simple as that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Who knows the details or context of Schteve being down there. Could be anything from not much needing his attention upstairs so just "joining in" to show the squad that "we're all a happy club family and on the same side" to "Mel has ordered me to assess the coaching" to "Rooney wanted me to do a couple of drills to mix things up" to "he he he he he I'm going to get back to being Derby manager...i just have to subtaly undermine Wazza by sneeking onto the coaching".

Yeah, and what's he like talking to that Ferguson bloke on the phone an' all?! He made clear that he was in charge - so if Mac is coaching it's because Rooney wanted it.

Ramarena Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Mac is a very good coach. It’d be a waste not to have him involved to some extent......even if it’s a background involvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have I said anything to suggest that isn’t the case? I’m more than happy for him to be part of Rooney’s coaching staff - that’s what he’s proven himself to be good at. Frankly I’d prefer to see him there rather than in an untried technical director role. But the point is he shouldn’t be doing both. As things stand his role is at board level, so he shouldn’t be coaching on top of that. Asking him for a bit of advice every now and then is fine, but if he’s actively coaching out on the training pitch then that’s a different thing entirely, and not something I’m entirely comfortable with. Seems to undermine the structure that I feel should be in place at the club. If Rooney wants him coaching, then make him a coach, and give someone else the technical director role. That’s what I’d like to see, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 He's obviously in nets. Probably one of those exercises where you try and hit someone's backside from 15 yds, and an hour in he's called it off untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
