How would you feel if we appointed Steve McClaren?

[PaulWinch again]

I don't want him to take over, but if he does I'll fully support him of course.

[DBTW]

His odds are drifting very quickly with more money against him this morning. Gone from 6/4 to nearly 3/1 now.

Good...stick another couple of digits in front of that 3 and I'll be happier.

Is making me chuckle that the press, bookies, and pretty much everyone else hasn't a scooby what's going on inside VP. Personally, I like it that way.

[Risso]

I'd rather have Allardyce than McClaren.  I don't think "not going down" is much to get excited about.

which is why i'm glad your not in charge,
 you were one of the doomongerers, you were so convinced of our impending downfall you put money on us going down,

you lost, you were totaly wrong on that one,
you would have been totaly wrong with Allardyce.
i'm just glad we have Randy and not someone who loses his money backing his wrong judgements

And you don't think Randy has lost money on bad judgements?!  You naive fool, go and grab yourself a set of the accounts, look at the huge losses, and then ask yourself about the wonderful judgement that led to giving the likes of Harewood, Heskey, Shorey and Beye mega money deals.

As John M says, Schteve would not be a bad appointment on paper (decent enough record, international experience, grasp of the European game, seems to be liked by players). But as we all know the problem would be the bad PR it would create as he is so tainted after his England tenure. It might not be fair on him, but all the same it could potentially do more damage to our already tarnished image. So I think Randy's decisions will say a lot about his ability to read the mind of the fans and the importance of this in his decision making (and/or to make unpopular choices without listening to daft sentiment, if you prefer).

Yikes! I'd need a Rooney-type hair transplant

surely that was a case of backing the manager at the time, something i would expect him to do with the next one,
i agree they were a waste of money, but i would blame MON for that

[themossman]

Correct. Randy effectively backed MON's judgment on cost vs value, to a fault. You can see why he did, and I hope he does the same with the next bloke, within reason.

[rbcuk]

Really hope we dont go for him...my choice would have been jol, but now he's gone to fulham not many others out there

Randy's judgement was to back the manager.  That judgement involved, amongst other expensive mistakes, giveing players over the age of 30 £40K plus a week on 3 year contracts.  Players like Habib Beye.  Randy's judgements have been wrong, and expensive, time and time again.

[Lucky Eddie]

Rather him than Steve Staunton (as per the rumour I've heard) is the only positive spin I can think of.

Ah, somebody on my FB mentioned a former player but didn't name him.  Interesting.
