1% Villa, Steve McClaren resigns from Notts Forest
« on: October 02, 2011, 07:44:36 PM »
Breaking news on TalkSport.

We really have dodged a bullet by not hiring him here, and I'm ashamed to say I was in the small majority that genuinely wanted him quite badly at the Villa during the big managerial debate this summer.


No idea what he's gonna do now, back to Holland? Punditry?

I clearly remember the Talkshite pundits saying what a mistake we'd made not appointing Schteve. Idiots.

Crackin' shout, given that he's got both History with them, and a proven managerial record in that division.

He'd have found his level, again.

Lose 1-3 at home to small heath and you deserve to pick up your P45.

And can we all have a quick round of applause for whoever it was decided against appointing him, when the media had made up their mind we should be grateful to have him.

They might not get a lot of praise these days, but credit where it's due.

To be fair I said he was one who was better than McLeish and based on his track record he is (Dutch Title, League Cup, UEFA Final with Boro), but from what I have heard he has been let down badly by the Forest board who promised him cash and didn't deliver.  That said, Billy 'Arm Up' Davis did get the same bunch of players to the play offs.

Arguably the right man, but with the wrong board.

The bloke wasn't backed and apparently was made promises on appointment. For all the flack he gets McLaren is probably still the best English coach/manager in the game.

I reckon he's got his eye on the Sunderland job - big spending owners and the chance to be the latest Messiah.

With the added advantage that the sorts of donkeys he gets to play are already in place thanks to Bruce's ludicrous transfer plunge in the summer.
