People have been trying to polish this turd all season. Reality is starting to bite now. I think those who are preaching patience with McClaren, that it will take time to right the ship etc, are doing so based on what you should do really with any new manager. I always think 3 seasons. However if after 6-8 months, after probably the largest spend in 2 windows in the clubs history, you are languishing at the foot of the table and you can count the good performances on one hand, then you maybe have to revisit the whole "patience" item. Its needs must.
I wouldn't hone in the Everton game too much as they are a decent side and not one we do well against. Its the overall package that worries me. We keep hearing that the football this season is so much better than it was under the guy we don't mention any longer, and the best in a long while. Which football team are people going to watch?? It certainly ain't Newcastle United FC because we have been gash.
I reckon we are down and I have been saying as much since early on in the season. I think I predicted lower half of the table but that was based on even McClaren couldn't spend 50m and take us down. I have said since day 1 of him arriving, sort out the ****ing defence which has been garbage for 5 years. Our captain is a joke. Everyone in the country can see it. Yet some of our fans kept deluding themselves saying we have enough - mid table looks good with this squad.
