Steve McClaren

Anyone else hear him on 5Live this morning giving an interview in a mock Dutch accent in broken English?!!
Hilarious.....just when you think he cant be anymore of a c**k....

.....................he is a good man who has been unfairly treated.......................

Very insulting and patronising to the Dutch most of who speak better English than him anyway. Alan Green was wetting himself this morning.

......................was he holding an umbrella??..........................
 

Steve McClaren

It was very funny but also very pathetic in equal measures lol
 

Steve McClaren

He must be taking the piss! Otherwise, it's almost creepy.

Okay, 2:57 into that clip I lasted. I couldn't take any more.

And walked away from being a complete failure with about £2,000,000. Not bad work if you can get it.
The bloke is a complete knob jockey.

:cool:

Shorry to shay but the man ish a turnip....or should that be shwede.
 

Steve McClaren

Will he keep up that silly accent when he is interviewed after the game tonight??
 

Steve McClaren

Oh for f***'s sake, why doesn't he give it up? The singer Joss Stone may have gone to LA for a week's holiday and came back to the Brit Awards with a Californian accent, but it was not that surprising to learn that a young pop-singer just happens to be a moron as well. This guy was the former England Manager. What a national embarrassment!

surely they should be just as ashamed to be singing that as twente fans/mcClown were to be hearing that about them:confused:
oh i forgot... arsenal aren't an english team... they have no interest in the national team!

Reported as favourite to take over at Ajax following van Basten's sacking. **** me, he's got some agent that bloke. :confused:
 

Steve McClaren

He is well thought of in Holland and has done well with an unfashionable club. Leaving aside england he was an excellent no2 at Manu and did well at Middlesborough so maybe he is better thought of abroad than he is in England.

His career path has become rather like Bobby Robson who was widely derided at home after his England stint but then became highly successful abroad with several top clubs.

A little different in so much as almost everybody wanted Robson to stay at the end of Italia '90, it's just that he'd decided to head off elsewhere because of the treatment he got prior to the tournament.

I think McClaren is a reasonable manager who will be able to re-build his career in club football and will probably come back to England and do OK. He wasn't up to the England job though.

Time passes but my memory recalls that Robson was effectively driven out prior to the world cup and that our relative success at the tournament was put down by many as player power forcing a change in formation which worked. I don't recall a great clamour to get him to change his mind after the world cup.

He did not IMHO get the respect he deserved like most if not all ex England managers for some reason. Even the man who actually won the world cup for us was hounded out.

wasn't he manager of brough when we played them in the league cup? they played great fotty..

They had that great run to the UEFA Cup final where they then got walloped Seems so long ago now.
 

Steve McClaren

His recent record is woeful.
No other industry would offer a failure like that so
many chances.
I wouldn't him anywhere my club that's for sure!
 

Steve McClaren

Even Warnock would have been a better appointment surely?
 

Steve McClaren

Can't believe the Derby fans would welcome the "plastic Dutchman"

By all accounts an outstanding coach but not so sure whether he is good enough as a manager
 

Steve McClaren

He did very well as a coach at Derby and Manu and did exceptionally well in charge at Middlesborough and FC Twente ( first time around) so not sure why people label him as a failure. Fair enough his England spell was very poor but that doesn't mean he can't do it at club level.
 

Steve McClaren

I notice he's only on a three month deal at QPR, probably foresaw a couple of early sackings and the chance to get his foot in the door.

How's his East Midlands accent getting on?
 

Steve McClaren

Must admit I had forgotten he played for them and was coach there before going to Utd so I guess the appointment does make sence

Harsh on Clough - may as well got rid of him in the summer, then got in the wally and let him get his own players
 

Steve McClaren

Saw his post-match comments on the FLS and he's picked up a mild York accent from somewhere?
