To be fair this was in 1999. The game has changed now.
Steve McClaren | Yessh our new assistant coach
- Thread starter roonster09

He can be a translator, if needed. Eggschellent news!
I think it's one of his best trait. As somebody mentioned earlier about story about post defeat during his time under SAF, he seems to be a good type to balance the mood in the dressing room.
Some of Mike Phelan's post SAF retirement interview sounds very egoistic. We know SAF delegated the duty to his assistants, but Mike Phelan worded it like he's our actual manager running the first team during that period.
He'll have at least two assistants.
Thanks
Never understand people who want to totally cut ties with the most successful period of our club - it worked in the wrong structure previously, doesn’t mean this is the same or will fail.So pleased we have ETH in and can finally stop making backroom appointments steeped in nostalgia for the SAF era
Unless he's being humble, he's basically saying ETH did all the work for him
Also he's quite a conservative coach by his own admission. Not necessarily a bad thing, but interesting to hear his own evaluation of himself.
Get the man a skin fade.
I like McClaren, so did the players... apparently. So it's Gaag and Steve? This is going to be interesting.
Budget Robert Redford is ours!
Ole had several assistants?
BBC reporting that the club aren't keen and haven't approved his appointment yet.
How to hell are people carrying this story like it's legit ?
Hag been in negotiation with club for a while, he hardly have signed and agreed to everything without having everything given as a guarantee to him. Total daft.
They implying he signed the contract and then the club said no on that and then they gave him it, mental these daft stories get carried

Bring him in. We need a whipping boy to assess from afar when it all goes tits up.
I’ll start: what does this fossil even do?

Um excuse me its Schteve actually
He doesnt wear shorts anyway
Feck sake, the battles he should be winning is not with the board at all.
Yeah I did think thatUnless he's being humble, he's basically saying ETH did all the work for him

English translator?
Occam's Razor
Rather than believing in conspiracies and behind-the-scenes political intrigue, it's far more likely that the journalists got it wrong when they said the board rejected McClaren in the first place.

Definitely truth in this then.
That's what I thought throughout. Basically giving ten Hagg all the credit for Twentes success.Unless he's being humble, he's basically saying ETH did all the work for him

As I thought ten Hag will have full say over his coaching staff.
Do people really believe that we'd reach the point of an announcement being made before Ten Hag would state that he'd quite like McClaren to come in with him? Mind boggling how many grown adults still believe every word chucked at them from the media.
English football has changed a lot though.
Assistant to the assistant
Really? I rather we stay out of Europe in ETHs first season. We will lose 7-10 players possibly. He will have a lot more time to implement his ideas with no Thursday matches and the associated travelling to distant lands.
You prefer ETH to rather listen to Fletch or Phelan?
Bobby Robson had an assistant type role with Ireland.
Steve McClaren is decent manager in his own right.
We would be really lucky to have him as an assistant manager.

Why do I need to choose between that two? I'd rather die and that is not an overreaction.
Why would the club push back on that in the first place? You move heaven and earth to get the hottest property in Europe to join and the first thing you do is reject his assistant.
Terry Venables did...to Steve McClaren.
This is the dream team. Avengers assemble!
We dont know that they did push back
Check their CV’s. One’s qualified the other has always been here on mates rates.
