Heres Rixxy Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Agree with this. Commercially, if we can get him on reasonable wages it would be a real win for the 'business' side of the club. Regardless of his somewhat hot/cold record of late, he would be someone that can motivate a group of players at this level, no doubt. Still my number one for the job but i'd take freedman if this fell through. Wouldn't touch Pressley or Hartley with the hibs job! Money spinner!

jambo-in-furness Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 High profile and has to be taken seriously if he really is interested but does he really fit what we require? I'm not so sure. What I'd suggest we're looking for is a guy who can work with a limited budget, promote youth players, install a style of play throughout the club which will yield results in the Scottish league, have a network of contacts to bring in bargains who can be standouts in this league, a motivator and have a basic knowledge of the Scottish game...beyond the old firm, be able to work with and improve or current squad and work with the coaches we have and ready them for management. I don't think McClaren could do all of that. He's managed at a high level with some of the best players in England. I think like many of his jobs he'd have a short term impact which would soon fade and he'd get frustrated at the skill level he was working with and unable to increase that by much. I won't be gutted if he doesn't come tbh. You've got the wrong forum buddy, your post makes far too much sense and logic to be on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quint Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If we did go for McClaren even for a year or 18 months do you think we would get a better deal for our player assets? If an English club is sniffing around Walker or Djoum and offered 500k. If he said no they are worth 5 mill it's more likely to be taken notice of than some of the other candidates quoted.

OTT Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've been leaning towards DF for a couple of weeks and Schtevie boy throwing his hat back in the ring doesn't change that. From the pretty limited information we have Freedman seems to be the best fit (assuming he stays consistent with his methods). Same. Initially i was bowled over by Shteve being interested but its started to seem like he's using us to get another gig. Moreover the story about Petrie and that Steve guy that was at west brown (totally forgot his name) kinda sticks in my throat a bit. McClaren would be very expensive potentially redirecting wages from the team to him. DF will be cheaper and he has a pretty impressive record so far and Burkes comments about him seem to be very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 As much as I think SMc would be a fantastic appointment, I've yet to see a single quote from him in any of the news reports linking him to the job. That has me worried. You would think that with all the speculation, someone would have asked him directly, and received some form of specific answer... In fairness the report I read said they asked him specifically about Hearts job and he refused to answer regarding this. Only seemed to have quotes about wanting back into management in general. I think this one is unlikely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Funny, people saying they don't want Steve Mcclaren are like fat basement dwellers saying which supermodels they wouldn't shag. I'm really torn. McClaren could be an expensive disaster OR he could be a roaring success. Such is his managerial career its hard to make a confident guess. Freedman IMO has a crystal clear track record of developing youngsters and seems to be saying the right things. If there is any possible way of making it happen, I'd like McClaren to come in and fix the squad with Freedman as the assistant with a view of taking over at the end of the season. Doubt either of them would go for it but hey, don't ask don't get Glad I don't have to make the decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
