Steve McClaren | Yessh our new assistant coach

[Chairman Steve]

Every season McClarens been at United, we’ve won the league

He’s got a lot of experience in handling so many big stakes games in a short period of time from the moment he stepped through the door back in 98/99. I’m certain he’s got a significant hand in that.

Palace and Barcelona aside.

But yeah there was a point it felt every set piece was going in against us.

My god I totally forgot about Barca. Palace was a worldie to be fair


We are playing far better stuff these days for sure.

 

[Escobar]

No idea how strong his influence is, but great to have him here

 

[KeanoMagicHat]

I think McClaren is a good coach but a bit awkward to handle the media and appearances side of things well enough to be a top manager. So going back to his roots as an assistant, he was obviously brilliant at the job before he outgrew it originally.

Doing a great job!

Glad he's finally getting people's respect again.

The England job destroys reputations

I think his managerial choices after FC Twente put him on a hiding to nothing, Derby, Newcastle and QPR have all been badly run. Although McClaren is limited as a manager he does possess key skills which in the right team make him a great asset.

Look how passionate he is during training (relevant part starts at 2:46)

Yeah it's his only blemish really.
Has had a successful career otherwise.

I think his experience and the fact there's no pressure on him, make him ideal in the role.

Hopefully he stays here and goes out on a high.

He's clearly doing a great job so far, but the England job is hardly the only blemish on his CV. Losing to Modric's Croatia is one of the lesser ones.

He's very clearly a great/good coach in certain situations when things come together.

He is just a really good coach and assistent but not a very good manager, although he did alright at Middlesbrough and Twente. When he helped QPR out as coach on a three month deal everybody was raving about him, when he became manager at QPR a couple of years later it didn’t work out and got sacked within the year. I think it’s great he’s back at United. In the Fergie days he was a really innovating assistent, he started with a lot of video, camera’s, analyses and data in a time that wasn’t as normal as it is now.
