Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

In both cases, the clubs moved to expressed an interest in Burton's manager and only with the chairmans blessing did they speak.
Very different to the shambles and weasel words we heard from our ex-manager.
Looks like he may be an ex manager again soon. Just an observation.

And the proof that Newcastle spoke to McClaren?? No doubt the compensation proved handy for Burton, but still gutting for Burtons fans to lose two good managers in as many years.

There is no proof I know that Newcastle did speak to SMac while he was our manager - I didn't say there was.
However when Derby fans were after some reassurance from him over media reports of his interest in the Toon job, he spectacularly failed to give it.
Both Rowett and Jimmy H expressed an interest in other positions and left in the right way. They furthered their careers with bigger clubs and acted honourably in doing

Except that what you say ain't true! We sacked MacClaren first!

I accept you have a different view but to say it ain't true? I cannot understand how you know for sure.
The way things have panned out suggests there COULD HAVE BEEN mutual interest from SMac and Toon.
Or maybe just the continued denied speculation just highlighted to SMac that the Toon job was vacant AFTER he was sacked.

I'd say he certainly could, but I'm much more concerned about the JFH impact on QPR. Seems like a very good manager...better than they deserve.

Steve McClaren may have been total useless at Forest and Derby but he did provide a first step for Jimmy Floyd
Hasselbaink on the managerial ladder when he was taken on as a coach at Forest.

[AnagRam]

Not sure why your're quoting me on this one Akwes, but for what it's worth, McClaren wasn't 'useless' at Derby. He was excellent for fifteen months or so, then had his head 'turned' and it all went horribly pear shaped. I recognise of course that finishing 3rd and 7th is something Forest can only dream of. ;-)

Agree with that Anagram, JFH was obviously destined for bigger things and London is a big draw for many people in the game. I am not a betting man, but if I were it would be safe to have a punt on Nigel being at Burton Albion longer than Jimmy FH is at QPR
