Ashley welcomes McClaren

There are tons of Newcastle fans who really aren't convinced by McLaren, I genuinely fail to see the viable alternatives. We aren't on the radar for bigger managers and our options are untried potential managers (Viera, etc.) who are interesting but a gamble. I think NUFC fans like the idea of rolling the dice too much, I just want steady progression. 10-13th next year would be grand. Anything better and/or a cup run would be fantastic.

 

Nads wanted McClaren. IIRC he put him right at the top of his list should Poyet get sacked.

I think you've both ended up with managers who should have no trouble taking you forward next season, rivalry aside I'm sure you'd both love to be competing for honours together rather than squabbling over who's more likely to be relegated.

I think you can both look forward to much better next season.

 

Will be interesting to see how both managers rebuild.

 

and how many £`s they have to play with.

 

I am just waiting for McClaren's first interview where he talks with a Geordie accent

 

I'm chuffed to bits about Dick signing for us.

I'm more than a little concerned about McLaren being in charge up the road!

 

When McClaren was getting linked to us, the vast majority of comments from our fans were extremely negative towards him to say the least. I wasn't one of them and said that his club record is not all that bad. I now hope that his club record takes a bit of a nose dive mind..

 

I would have taken Brolly Boy like. Happier with dick though

 

I bet!

 

Good appointment, until the derby!

 

Be good if it's pouring down, we can all take brollys

 

No need brother, nothing would warm me up more then being at the SOL/SJP witnessing another 3 points for the red and white stripes!!!

 

Frightfully dull man
Didn't want him anywhere near our place

 

I've no idea how good a coach/manager he is but you're right about this.
His 'smiling man of the people' act just doesn't come off does it .......... you just know it's all false.

 

Penis Avocado is a better manager than McLaren. No complaints about that. I am somewhat happy we have him though. A step up from Pardew.

 

McLaren has the right attitude for Newcastle, he will go down a treat..




And leave laughing all the way to the bank..

I reckon this **** could screw over Ashley, the unscrew able ****..

 

I can't wait until he says "why I man" in his interviews..

 

Time will tell ......... he took Palace way above Newcastle this season.

 

Beginner's luck that, in Mag land..

 

He was prone to good runs with us too. If Palace aren't in the relegation mix next season, I will be surprised. Their team are too good to go down but this is the clown is capable if wonderous negativity.
