oldtimeram Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The football was better under McClaren and if he returned I think we would fair far better. What are your thoughts on him coming back to try and rescue this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I’d be worried about how much we were paying him to lure him from Man U. Kathcairns, cstand and RamontheMoor 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 He’s got unfinished business at Derby, but you will find he is a bit like marmite on this forum, with some unable to forgive his Toon love in and lack of plan B. Personally I feel there are players in this squad who would excel with his coaching ability. Would rather see him back as coach alongside a manager. Would be great but won’t happen.

Who is manager alongside Paul Warne coach? But I can't see why Mac would want to leave Man Utd unfinished business or not. Time for Colin, everyone would know he's here on a mission and needn't be thought of long term. He knows what he's doing and has been successful at more than League 1 and more than Rotherham. sheeponacid, S8TY, TomTom92 and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Sign me up. The best football we've played in years, took the game to whoever we were playing, no matter who it was. As @hintonsboots mentioned, it could be argued he lacked a plan B quite often, but I'll take a manager who at least has a plan A over the current manager's approach. I reckon we've got the players to have a decent 4-3-3 setup as well, provided we avoid a lot of injuries to wingers. And I'd love to see how someone like Sibley would do in a much more attacking team with a bit more freedom. angieram, RoyMac5, DavesaRam and 5 others 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd love to see how someone like Sibley would do in a much more attacking team with a bit more freedom. I think Warne has a Plan A. Even Eddie the Eagle probably had a Plan A. But his involved spending less time in the air than the ball does in Warne's Plan A. The real issue is that Plan A isn't proving particularly effective and is dreadful to watch. But I keep being suckered into the notion that when all of our crocked players return we might be better at playing Plan A and then we can win some games and tell ourselves it's worth it. Sorry - this response doesn't really belong here. McClaren isn't coming back though. So to answer the thread question: surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoooMarkWright Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Move on. It was great in 2014, but let’s leave it there. Warnes here for the season, Mac’s managerial days are done. cstand, Derby4Me and jimtastic56 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripperg-ram Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I often think about Mac 1. How it tainted us as fans. A perfect storm. Clough had assembled a squad but couldn’t get a tune out of it. SM plus Simmo and Eric Steele were a perfect mix of high end experience and old player club affinity. 3-0 down at home (against Ipswich?) and we came back to draw 4-4 after he had a word at half time despite not actually having started the job yet. That started a run of games and a moment in time that was certainly my best experience being a rams fan since the late 90’s. If they scored 3 you’ll be damn sure we’ll score 4. I haven’t seen players play with that sense of freedom and fun before or since. They could intuit each others positioning and know their roles instinctively. What I’d do to have a bit of that right now but I don’t think he’d have the same effect now we’re in League one - it’s a different kettle of crabs. And it’s not like he’s done much elsewhere. I’m still up for giving Warne time, despite how messy we were on Saturday. I think he deserves until Christmas - but that’s to turn things around and give us a style/formation/identity. If he can’t do that then I’d love someone to come in and do a Mac 1. But I’m not sure that’s Mac himself. 🙏🏽 hintonsboots and Archied 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 This thread, together with others where names are being suggested as a potential replacement for Warne, is becoming more and more bizarre. Steve McLaren, Warnock - who next, Billy Davies? No way do I see David Clowes considering a change, at least not this side of Christmas and even if he did, it won't be with managers well past their sell-by date.

Mac 2 was more defensive, not as much fun. Julian De Sart and a 3-0 defeat at Brighton was how it ended. No where near as good as Mac 1, more cautious. One decent run and then the usual wheels came off when he had to react to a bad spell. He couldn’t turn it round. Move on folks!
