A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sounds like he is scrounging around for a club. Hopeless at Newcastle and fecked Derby up True, but he did beat Feyenoord, PSV and Ajax to the Dutch title twice with Twente, and the cup, and Europa knockout stages. That is equal to winning the SPFL with Hearts. Even tougher because Ajax, PSV and Feyenord are far better teams than Rangers and Celtic and also it was Twente's first ever. That'll no doubt be what he points to. He has managed some big clubs in his time, Forest, Wolfsburg, Derby, Newcastle, Middlesborough etc... He is actually a cut above pretty much any other name I've ever heard linked with the Hearts job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 He's ******* hopeless McLaren is absolute champions league compared to 4th rate scottish premiership shite like Pressley, Hartley, Wright etc Aye he was sacked by newcastle and derby. Hartley was sacked by dundee... dun ****ing dee. His experience dwarfs even fan favourite Michael O'Neil a man who has done comparatively nothing in club football.

Doc Rob Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Won the Eredivise with unfashionable FC Twente, and took Middlesbrough to the UEFA cup final. Terrible? Quite. If that's what terrible looks like, sign me up. The FC Twente achievement really was quite something in a league generally dominated by three big clubs.

The Internet Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So just accept somebody regardless of what style of football his teams have played beforehand because he's managed England and Premiership teams? Style of football As has been mentioned, the Eredivisie win ahead of Luis Suarez's Ajax was an incredible achievement on top of other solid jobs done elsewhere. He's not going to win us the league or anything but as for a safe pair of hands to get us out this shite we're in we won't get any better. Don't think it'll happen like for numerous other reasons but we are in no position to be turning him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WageThief Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 McClaren is miles ahead of any other names mentioned, even O'Neill who I'd be delighted with. In fact, O'Neill is one of the few names apparently in the hat that isn't laughable compared to McClaren. Houston or McClaren? Pressley or McClaren? Sho shorry shteeve, we're gonna go with Paul Hartley because he showed promise early on at Alloa and Dundee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ1977 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 McClaren would be a brilliant appointment if a deal could be done. I'm sure it's pretty unlikely but I would be delighted if he ended up head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamdub Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 If Steve McClaren really wants this job, it is a total no brainer. If that means our DOF has to leave, then so be it Ann, you have had to make many horrible/right or wrong decisions in your business life, please make this one of the right ones. I would love this to happen, his CV in Holland would get him most job's in football, the fact that he has thrown his hat in the ring with us, we have to grasp that opportunity.

Maroon Sailor Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So basically people on here are saying Scottish football is crap rather than saying McClaren is crap. Ever since he left the Boro job 11 years ago he has been a fecking bombscare with every job he has had in England. He knows how far his reputation has sunk - which is fair play to him if he thinks Scotland is his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjambo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I watch a fair bit of Derby because my mate's a fan.
