Who was responsible for appointing McClaren?

[vanderlaans_header]

Bstand is entitled to his opinion and does have a poing regarding the waste of valuable club funds. However it seems McClaren has been disrespectful to the club and the supporters, possibly costing the club tens of millions in Sky money, the prize for promotion to the PL.

Maybe we should just sack everyone at the club then. The ownership group should go, Rush, Vicars, Evans the whole bleedin lot. We also supported McClaren so perhaps we should look at ourselves and never go again because we got it wrong and wasted our money..
Jeeez...

It wasn't as if the current situation could have been forseen

No you mean when people pointed it out you were too blinkered to even acknowledge it and tried to ridicule!

IMO you are a good example of how situations are perceived to be such a surprise in football when they really are not. You happy clap along refusing to consider anything other than what you want to attacking anyone who dares says anything different. The when it's proven true you try and claim its "just one of those things" every single time.

As the statement seems to also acknowledge things off the field need to improve and clearly it hasn't been happening there either. That confirms that the situation has now not improved but gone backwards off and on the field.

Not foreseen ... I told you back in October!

The problem is those who refused to look and see have allowed the additional time that had probably set the club back an number of years and eroded the g

When clough was sacked and mcclaren appointed , I was happiy. Clough had gone because he had sapped every bit of positive energy I had and had bored me to death. However , given his remit..he did a decent off the field job.
Iwasnthappy with mcclaren at the time, however all of a sudden the life had come back into my love for the club and good football prevailed.

This is not a footballing decision...this is because he flirted with Newcastle.
I am glad the club have made this decision on principle...

On football reasons ... the future worries me with the uncertainty...he was a good coach after all

Ridiculous. I was refering to the alleged actions of McClaren possibly costing the club, as far as I am aware the same allegations have not been made about other emloyees at the club.

So what's the next stage in the master plan? Seems like a shambles to me.


Why do people always spout up in hindsight.

Er - bit hard to complain about the sacking before it happened.

[Rapid]

for crying out loud bstand. how many new threads do you need to start saying exactly the same thing?

yes everybody is entitled to an opinion but surely it comes to a point when it becomes spam.

who was responsible? rush clearly in my eyes. we've already established in your other threads that it was a good appointment.

shame the way it's ended. if media reports are to be believed it's more mel morris' decision to let him go.

[triz]

Rush?
GSE?
Appleby?
The Board?
Two lots of managerial compensation in less than 20 months, you couldn't make it up.
Those responsible for SM's appointment should worry, rough calculation suggests 50% of the season ticket monies may have gone on compensation for this shambles.
If I was a lead investor I would want an explanation of why my investment money was being spent like this.

Watford and Norwich did and seem to have done OK!

Why criticise the board for making decisive moves when things aren't going well? or are you trying to imply sacking Clough (who has hardly torn up trees up the road ) was an error?

It wasn't as if the current situation could have been forseen, these things happen and I for one are glad we have a board whoa re decisive, plan successions and act in the interests of getting success at this club.[/quote]



Wait a week or so and get compo or act 'decisively' and
