3fingersreid Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm guessing a shortlist of 5 (because it's a nice number) of MacLaren, Freedman, Pressley, Boothroyd and Hartley. And that's probably wrong as the press has said there are names in the frame that haven't got out, although why they wouldn't release them I don't know. So not sure if that's to be believed. I only didn't include Houston and O'Neill because I assume we'd need permission to speak to their employers and all that. Not fancy Sergio then ?

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The Levein picture is a blatant invasion of his privacy, and bang out of order. And a call for Budge to 'have a word in his ear' is patronising and therefore also bang out of order. Levein has no case to answer whatsoever. This! He likes a bet, who gives a feck!"Ann should have a word in his lug". Give me strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Let Them Forget Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ryan giggs anyone ??? That would be a very interesting one. Although things aren't great on the pitch at the moment i think we're quick to underestimate the calibre of managers that would be interested. We are a club massively on the up off field from the stand, training facilities, youth set up, FOH, Budge etc. We just need to get it right on the pitch (I am pretty confident we will) and when the new manager comes in he will be backed like Cathro was with signings. It is always better for a manager to come in and take over when things on the football side are down as the only way is up. Far too much doom and gloom on this place now a days.

Finlay James Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If mclaren is appointed, it would lift the entire club in a way that we have not seen since Burley arrived over 10 years ago. I'm very proud of what the club has achieved off the pitch since admin but recently, I feel little connection with the players or coaches. I'm hoping that mclaren would change that and give us a team to want to get behind fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well be a 'big name' but I think he's been a manager in decline for a number of years. We need somebody a bit more tuned into our club and our level who can re-galvanise the team and staff with the supporters. McClaren isn't that guy imo.

So McClaren and Ranieri deserve no credit because they took unfashionable sides all the way to the Championships against massive odds? Maybe I'm just a bit na?ve, but to me, they deserved a massive amount of credit for that achievement. To simply dismiss it as "freak" does your argument no favours at all, imo. .

So Make Some Noise.. Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 After reading Stamp's comments, I kinda want him more than Sergio now. I reckon he has the stature and bite in him to launch a rocket up our shower of sh*te and get the playing side of things in line with the positive stuff going on off the pitch. He knows who we are, what level we're at and what cash we could give him, yet he still applied. He's clearly not driven by money and sees this as a fresh start after a crap couple of years. The big question for me is whether or not Levein's ego would cope with someone who is more qualified, experienced and achieved more in the management game than him working at the club. As per Stamp's comments, SMcL wouldnt stand for Levein poking his nose in or handing notes down from the stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I still think of McLaren being first team coach for the treble winning Man Utd team including Champions League winner. Think McClaren sees himself primarily as a coach rather than an all encompassing type. Therefore he might well be the perfect fit. He's seemingly an outstanding coach. CL will know him through JC. I can see him being genuinely interested in the role. Needs to be assured of budget to recruit essentials though to make us semi competitive in first instance as we're well short at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
