So What Do You Think Of Mac Now?

[swaledale]

Same as I did 3 months ago - he's a ginger weasel (sorry to offend your boyfriend Swaledale).

I've also read he's taking Round with him. It was only a couple of weeks ago he said Round isn't staying at Derby because he 'needs to go out and get a job'.

There's something not right with that, either Round didn't get on with the players or it was all part of the Weasels grand plan.

The mere fact you use childishs destroys any credibility your post may have had!

My view on McClaren is simple, he came in and he and the coaching staff did a great job in turning the club around and the record over the two seasons shows a a clear improvment, both in league position and points over Clough.

In entertainment terms, the football was simply a class above, although some of the comedy performances in the latter half of the season were disappointing.

Injuries clearly didin't help, but the fact that the players were so lacking in confdi

Having credibility on 'Derby Mad Football Forum' isn't the be-all and end-all for me, which it seemingly is for you - my life outside of the football forum is fulfilling enough meaning I don't need the gratification. It gives me an insight into your psyche though - I pity you

Would anyone consider pRat to be a childish? Has all Swales
cherished and hard fought Credibility been hoisted by his own petard?

...I would expect people to recognise what I had done and think I was a ****er.

But we do Triz.

This cartoon appeared in the Guardian a few weeks ago. It's brilliant.

I give McClaren 7 months, at best.

I merely responded to rat's caling and general insults, but then you'd know all about that tone of post wudln't you as you have previous in that department.

In this day and age, given the uncertainty of tenure that managers are generally faced with, I can't find it in me to condemn any manager who looks after his own interests. On the whole clubs show no loyalty to their managers and I can't see how they expect much more in return. That's the modern way, regrettable as it may seem.

I agree and hope Mac does well at Newcastle. I must say i was sick of the rumours of will he won't he and i don't think Mac did enough to kill the speculation. I am happy with a fresh approach and await the new season full of optimism. C'mon you Rams[/quote]

Cant understand why anyone would want wish him well, although everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I don't mind at all if he falls flat on his face at Newcastle. That's not sour grapes, I supported him throughout and I was wrong. It is my view that I don't really want McClaren to succeed after h

Sadly, VDLH, neither I nor you (I suspect) are privy to the notice provisions in SM's employment contact. If he was fired for breaches of any employment clause or condition then maybe gardening leave could have been imposed, but more likely it was an arranged termination where we wanted to minimise the compensation paid to SM. In this case enforcing gardening leave would have cost us more and opened us up to restraint of trade consequences. As it was a contractual issue SM would have had an obligation to mitigate his loss under contract (ie get a new job) and so us restraining him in the garden would also conflict with his duty to mitigate.

Employment and contract law is a complex area fraught with pitfalls. Sending him gardening would, IMHO, simply have been counter productive.
