Steve McLaren, hahahahahahahahahaha teeee heeee!!!!!!!

[El Turi]

Shows that too many loan signings (even if they are very good individual players) is not the way to be successful.

 

[mikeyjh]

Went to shit once they let best go....

Bravo! That made me smile... I'm not sure what actually happened, injuries did impact on us but I'm not sure the loss of confidence and shape that the team suffered can be entirely down to that. I guess the question mark that hangs around Schteve's career is how he handles it when things don't go to plan, and given that we were top a couple of months ago he hasn't answered that yet. One telling thing is that I reckon our record and Brighton's for the last 2 months is pretty similar....

I wouldn't mind if Schteve left, as one Gareth Icke put it today, "McClaren was the shag that got Derby fans over the ex. Had a good time but not for the long haul" time to find a new wife!

hands up who prefers the summer with its endless transfer gossip than the actual footie itself?!?

 

[nwgull]

Possibly but it takes something special to lose to a team that can't score.

To be fair, we actually had a very good scoring rate until after that game: 14 goals in 11 games managed by Hughton at that point.

 

[Mackenzie]

Unlucky.

 

[Tarpon]

This muppet cost me coinage today. The least he could do is sort the ridic barnet out.

The again...

I was rather expecting Derby County to part company with him this week.

He would have been a good manager for us. *Awaits Incoming*

 

[BensGrandad]

I hope he leaves Derby soon and then they will fall apart.

They seem to have made a good job of falling apart with him there.

Reckon Hughes will stay?

 

[BensGrandad]

They still have some good players on their books who another manager may not want.

 

[Worthingite]

Will be Newcastle manager by August.

He'd be a bloody mug if he did. He's got the run of Pride Park (Or whatever it's called now), and he calls the shots. Under him Derby WILL go up. Newcastle look doomed and under the current setup he'd last 6 months if he's lucky

Would Newcastle want a serial loser, though. Wait, what am I saying? He'd be perfect!

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

I still personally blame Steve McLaren for ruining my summer in 2008 by managing to not get England qualified for the Euros that year. So although I bear no ill will against Derby, they certainly deserved to go up last year, the Wally with the Brolly can **** off.

I'd like us to sign Ward, Russell and Martin - not that they would come.

 

[mikeyjh]

Reckon Hughes will stay?

This time, probably not - I didn't think he'd stay last summer to be honest. For him as a player, the opportunity to move to a top team would surely be too much to a resist and while the club don't 'need' to sell, there's always a price that a team will sell for.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Sad for Derby and their fans but not for McLaren. He can't take the pressure. It's great winning most of the season and being near the top but when it comes to the business end post Xmas & Easter, he showed clearly that he is a bottler. Not a man to lead although he may well be a brilliant coach/No.2.

 

[Justice]

His tactics are shite, any manager who thought pinging high balls into the box against Qpr last season was the way to go needs to look at themselves. Even our Oscar worked that one out.

Moyes is now favourite for the Newcastle job

Moyes is now favourite for the Newcastle job

David Moyes has his critics but he is way too good for Newcastle. The media battered him during his brief reign at Old Trafford. Taking into account that LVG hasn't had the distraction of Champions League football this season, i fail to see any major improvement under a so called bigger name. Of course the smoke and mirrors of the media will suggest otherwise.
