"Queasy" might be the best way of putting it.

'Violated' would be another.

About the same as I would feel if I dipped a pickaxe handle  in a mixture of hot tar, broken glass and rusty nails and then rammed it up my ringpiece.

If it's either Hughes or McClaren, parting with my £520 quid will be a painful experience.

If its either I will not be parting with my £500+

Just say no!

Cringe worthy.


Why? I don't want him here and I'm yet to meet someone that does. Do you?

I would not be at all happy but I'd give him and the team my support.

I can think a few I'd prefer, so did you set that up?

By the way, it's McClaren, not McLaren. Also, we wouldn't hire, we'd appoint. I'll amend the thread title.

I wouldn't be happy at all. He might be the greatest manager we've ever had, but it's another gamble that the club is taking.
He hasn't the profile of O'Neill even though he accomplised nearly as much (excluding championships in Scotland) and has managed England. But there is something about him that worries me. I'd reckon if he is appointed and Downing and Young go, Bent will be gone at Christmas.
We need a manager that will make players want to stay and attract a few reasonable players in, McClaren won't do that. A succesful ex Middlesboro and FC Twente manager are not what we need now. We need someone that galvanise will the club to a focus and that will frighten the shite out of dickhead milionaire players.

I think it's more the problem that Facebook groups for things like this are probably the most tedious thing on the internet.

It's the lazy version of Robathan rounding up a bunch of thickos with Italian flags and Ancelotti signs and marching off to an otherwise deserted Villa Park.
