McClaren sacked

Wow, I have to say I'm shocked. I probably shouldn't be as 1 win in 15 is just not good enough but I didn't think they'd make a change (if at all) before the summer.

I actually thought this thread was going to be a joke as with 7 games to go I just thought they'd stick it out until the summer like we did last year.


So the big question is where do we go from here? The club feels like it is at a dead end. No matter who we appoint we tread water and have huge losing streaks. We have a poor squad, even our better players like Luongo probably aren't good enough to take us forward.

He does deserve to go, I'm not defending him in any way, I just hope the club knows what it wants to do going forward otherwise we'll just be back here in 12 months time. Yes the form is abysmal but this is a bigger issue that changing the manager won't fix in my opinion.

McClaren was wanted by the board and picked long before he was appointed and we've still ended up here again.

I guess Gary Rowett will be one of the favourites. We wanted him before we appointed Holloway.

I wish I was wrong but I said this when Holloway was sacked.

McClaren could only Finnish mid table at best so he was always going to be sacked, that it the way this club is run. yet again we are back to square one.

We have no direction no defined playing style no youth policy no outstanding players and yet again no manger

We have changed style of play from Hasslebainks high pressing style to Holloway harassing and long ball game and McClarens passing and quick breaking game. But we have still got the same players.

No matter who we get in nothing will change unless we commit to the manger long term and back him with time and were possible money. No doubt he will have his own ideas on how to play the game which will be different to Hassalbainks  Holloway and McClaren But he will have at best the same players (Lynch Furlong Scowen Cousins who have all been criticized at some point ) but may loose our best players (Bidwell Freeman and Louongo)  who may have become disillusioned by the constant change in mangers.  

As I said back to square one. ( but maybe this time it is minus square one because in my opinion we have gone backwards with over reliance on our on loan players.


    

Don't worry that won't happen, it is just lazy journalism. He has been immediately installed as favourite the last 3 or 4 times we've needed a manager yet he isn't even linked to any other job in football. It's odd really.

Initial thoughts are it will be Jokanovic or Rowett.
I sense Wagner was a broken man when he left Huddersfield and I don't imagine QPR are the new challenge he'd want!!

I agree stoatey that everything Fernandes touches seems to turn into a disaster.

At least this time he shouldn't be involved, Amit should be making his first appointment since becoming chairman again. The last time it was his choice we appointed Warnock. Hopefully we make such a wise decision again but I cannot help but keep thinking it doesn't matter who we appoint the team just isn't good enough and we don't have the means to improve it. Catch 22.

I think the point is with McClaren
A team with players like wells and Freeman
Should be able to at least draw with Bolton and Rotherham
We didn’t and could of been beaten by more on Saturday to start with
The next manager is somebody who can work with what he’s got
Warburton or somebody like kenny jackett is what we need
Yes it’s pointless maybe sacking McClaren but we are absolute dire to watch and the players simply look deflated at the moment
It couldn’t carry on as it was but finding that dream manager isn’t going to happen soon

Even jam roly poly is in the list
Neil warnock is the only manager who would get our lot winning
Obviously he is busy with Cardiff city now
Neil Harris at Millwall is a manager I like and Gary monk too
They make do with what they have and whoever comes in needs to do that too
Any foreign manager out there
Luigi de canio was a decent manager
