You don't half make me larf Polish, rather than face up to your own clubs manifest woes, you clutch at straws to try and cheer yourself up.

While your signing Sheff Wednesday no marks we are signing Real Madrid players, that happens when you have a world renowned coach, and a grown up board.

Oh dear, own goal there.
World renowned coach?
The same coach who was a laughing stock at international level with his brolly(DCM words, not mine), spent Boro into oblivion and signed 3 of the worst Donkeys I have ever seen down here, that took us years to get rid of. :/

Oh Yeah, we are absolutely gutted that you have him.

Also, your Real Madrid "superstar". You know the one we haven't heard of. He must be famous to have attracted the attention of DCFC, how ecstatic he must be t

Do you actually read my posts?
My points are, you was bigging up a man that was a full on object of ridicule for you lot from 2011. Both for his record at Boro and England. Then went out of his to **** up NFFC with his awful acquisitions.
Yet now he's a world renowned respected coach?

As for the comment freebies, you really don't have a clue do you?
He signed the the four biggest waste of spaces I have ever seen in the Garibaldi. He spent not only over 3 Million on them, but put them on astronomical salaries that crippled us.
You call it the only blight over his "sparkling" career? Really?

So McLaren failed at Forest. So what, every manager fails at some point. I never once laughed at his appointment at you guys.

What is fact is that he is the last English manager to win a domestic league title, as the third horse in a notoriously two horse race league. He was alongside Fergie during the treble and guided a Middlesbro side to a European Final and League Cup win. He is the most successful English manager over the last 10 years.

Whereas Pearce, has presided over an under 21 side that performed abysmally at the last tournament, losing to Israel on their way to finising bottom of the group. In his first game as manager he didn't even pick a GK until his wife pointed it out.

Beardy, without getting into a bun fight with you. Using Pearce in that vein is not the same. Also you picked his low point there.
He had been a semi finalist and finalist. The example you picked was when the Prem managers refused to release/he

I agree his stock was low but only in the eyes of fans (myself included). We all fall for media silliness.
What other British coach has won a league title abroad with an unfancied team for example, Manu players are forever singing his praises, The prem loans we get, their coaches have said Mac is the reason they are trusting us with the development of their players.

Your having a tough time Tricky, don't let this blind you to the truth.

Where I have I denied that?
I have said we have to take stock and account.
FFP has bit us hard and there is no denying that?
Am I bothered about the lads going? No
Am I happy with the price for them? No, would have wished for more.
Am I happy we have had to chop out all the dead wood? Yes, in fact I am ****ing delerious and have been asking for them to go for ages. More I want gone yet.
Am I worried about the players we have? IN THE MAIN NO. We still need that striker and another midfielder. We

I'll say this over and over again. SmC is a top coach, 1 of the best in the land, possibly in Europe too.

But his record as a manager isn't as good, he had successes at Boro and Twente, a great start at Derby but there were failures too. At Forest, at Wolfsburg and I think he had a 2nd bite in Holland.

To be fair, he wasn't supported at Forest. His signings weren't great and the team he had needn't a lot of work to begin with.

But give him younger players like at Derby and a few old heads, he can do a job.

The England job was just a bridge too far for him, and I disagree with just failure in the final match. The rot had set in before that, we had a few draws with Austria and Lithuania (if my memory serves me). He needed to be bold and stubborn, that's a requisite for England, he's just too much of a nice guy for a job like that.

I hope he succeeds at Derby, so long as it's not at our expense. He's deffo a better manager than 'arry and a number of other supposedly top English mana

Yeah, i read it. You need to do your homework. He was only ever ridiculed at Forest from the majority by anything anyone could lay their hands on - and what do you expect? You were supposed to be signing the best players to add the third star while we were struggling to g

But that happens in every qualification campaign England have. 8 out of the last 9 managers have been within 90 minutes of McClaren's unfortunate circumstance.

Talking about homework Dave, Smc was never manager during Fawaz's time at the club, so there's nothing he could have told him.
