Just resigned from the job as Jamaica manager, he is an experienced manager in the Premier League and also the Championship.
So could he be the experienced manager we need ?

How is McClaren island looking nowadays? That exposed promontory of hair which is moving ever further away from the mainland. [Post edited 19 Nov 16:28]

The king of memes and other piss-takes on Twitter, whether it's his laughable Dutch accent or his attempt to usher Newcastle players to celebrate with him at the end of a game.
He'll fit right in. |  |

Steer well clear of him and the likes of Steve Bruce. |  | | |

He has failed in every managerial position he has held. So, based on SR’s record so far, yeah, why not? Bruce too, let’s get them out of the way before we can hope for someone decent. |  |

I'm not saying that McClaren is the answer, but this shows how tricky the issue is, whichever way you try to solve it. In this case, yeah he's failed, but if we get an experienced manager then it will be someone who has failed along the way, unless it's someone who only has experience in the lower leagues.
If they only have experience in the lower leagues then there might be a good reason for that, but also do we want someone who only knows the lower leagues? Maybe yes, but that puts us at a disadvantage if we're ever promoted because then PL experience is vital. You could say just get promoted and then replace the manager but that's never going to happen, so the likelihood is we come straight back down again.
I think a lot of people are unrealistic about who we can get, apart from anything else because most managers won't fancy being sacked in 3 months time. Whichever way this goes I think the majority of people will be disappointed. | | | |

I think most managers don’t care about being sacked.
Its a payday and normal in football. | | | |

No one wants to be sacked unless they're 70 years old. No football manager wants to be paid off on a 3 year contract when it could ruin the rest of their 20 or 30 year career. | | | |

Just what we need:

The manager who won their World Cup group is 78-year-old Dick Advocaat. After 25 managerial jobs his career win rate is still over 52%. He's achieved some amazing results like winning the UEFA Cup with Russian club, Zenit, and managing, Curacao, the smallest nation ever to qualify for the World Cup finals, at an age when most managers are either retired or dead.

Will Still is a very wealthy man now.
5 months work for 36 months pay.
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Russell Martin walked away with £7m from Rangers.
He’ll never have to work again.
And don’t get me started on Hasenhuttl. |  |

Wealthy men yes, but not a patch on how wealthy they would be if they have a full career manging at the top level. Also, just like players they don't only think about money. They want to work their way up from success to success and win some prizes. None of them want to be remembered as a failure. They want the glory too. Working at SFC under Banana Republic puts that career plan at risk. | | | |

If I’d of just been sacked with a £7m golden handshake plus what money I’d already accumulated in the game I wouldn’t give a flying if people thought I was a failure.
I’d be on the next plane outta this broken country to somewhere warm.
I’ll send you a postcard babe.

And this is the problem these days, how many managers really give a toss? They are set for life plus it’s more common now that the managers with no real history in football waltz in and then get fired and paid off
Crazy business, what other job can you work such a short period of time badly and then be paid off so ridiculously | | | |

Exactly. I’m sure Mourinho doesn’t mind being a “failure”.
He’s done alright, thank you very much. How many times has he been sacked ?
Still though he’ll always get a job in elite football… | | | |

You really think a man with an ego like Mourinho doesn't mind being seen as a failure?? You've obviously never come across anyone with an ego half the size of his. Unfortunately, I have. | | | |

A reply that's up there with your normal standard Tony...
p.s. I suggest you don't ever ask Mourinho if he minds being remembered as a failure. | | | |
