B4ev6is Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Or perhaps roony asked for some help and advise what to do at the moment and perhaps asked him to take some training sessions or perhaps he roony doing some work with ibe or with under 23s to see who can step up in the future or perhaps who can stake a claim in the first team.

It’d be a waste not to have him involved to some extent......even if it’s a background involvement! He's certainly the best coach at DCFC, no question.

Curtains Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think Mac is a bonus for us for sure. His experience is essential in helping Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Wayne will be forking out for a new head of hair soon..

Igorwasking Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Maybe Rooney, recognising he is a novice coach, asked Steve just to watch a few sessions he was taking, so he could give him feedback afterwards? Thats what I would do if I was in a new role with one of the most respected professionals in that position on my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allanthediver Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I would imagine that as technical director you'd be well served to see what's going on on "the shop floor". It's very easy to suggest that he's involved in coaching, but it's literally a snapshot. Is there evidence of him coaching in this session or just watching? If a few more directors got off their backsides and worked the front line now and again their business would probably benefit. Not everything is black and white...except the East Midlands obviously!

StarterForTen Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This thread is a manifestation of lockdowned minds. One fuzzy picture of Steve McClaren in the background of a training session has led to a myriad of theories - including one poster to call for Mac's resignation as Technical Director!!

Ah, dear old Les. Wearing the tracksuit that goes with our pink kit. If Steve M wants to see what life is like with the players in a relegation battle then it makes perfect sense to get in amongst them. Just good management really.

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. Why? How do you know that he can't be doing both of even that he is? If he is,they I'd be grateful for his input on both roles.

Unless McClaren isn’t actually doing the job he was brought in to do, which would appear strange, then he seems to have two different roles. He might well be capable of doing them both, but I’d rather him do one or the other. And out of the two, I’d rather him be coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
