That might mean McClaren might go in the Summer? Us Boro fans can only hope...

Nah nah I reckon they should get big Sam in and amongst

I prefer David Moyes. But he doesn't have enough european experience.

Could be Mclaren, since he is doing a swell job in Boro. Got a couple of excellent result these past matches. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Im not a big fan of soccer, but i like most sports and i know a lot of people do, so why isnt there a sports forum on the Ironworks?

I just posted this on another forum, but i'll say it again....why does everyone consider it so damn important that a coach has experience ? Experience in what ? When is a coach experienced ?

That's utter BS. There's only one feature a coach needs, and that's the gift of being able to motivate players, to get the most out of his team. Marco van Basten didn't have one minute experience as a headcoach when he accepted the job as coach of the Dutch national team, he lead us through the qualifying rounds undefeated. No "experienced" coach could have done a better job. Same goes for Frank Rijkaard with Barcelona. When he signed his contract he had very little experience as a headcoach, now look where he stands with his team. And don't forget he reached the semis with Holland in the 1998 WC as a completely unexperienced headcoach.

Jurgen Klinnsmann from Germany is another example, no experience whatsoever, yet he has managed to get the Germans back on track and made them once again a side to be reckoned with.

So experience is overrated, period.

Oh, and what exactly do you consider a swell job ? Cause the last time i looked at the British premiership tables, Boro was in 17th place. I'd call that anything but swell, a few more losses, and he'll be dishonorably discharged.

Hell, Maybe they should hire me instead. I'll gladly do the job for free. They don't need to spend a single penny to hire me. I don't have any experience. By the examples you brought up, I'm sure I'll be capable of bringing England to win any tournament and especially the world cup. Oh joy!

It was a sarcasm. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

[Lanesra]

Anyone but Arsene!

I'd prefer Curbishley.

You really don't get it, do you ? Marco van Basten didn't have any experience as a coach, but he has a history where the players look up to. They respect him for what he achieved, and are more willing to give it all they got before his eyes, than those of any other coach, experienced or no.

So you can't put just anyone in front of a group of overpaid footballstars, but he also doesn't necessarily have to be experienced. I can come up with a thousand examples of coaches with a truckload of experience, that didn't do a very good job as a coach for either a nation's national team, or a clubteam. Perhaps England should give it a go with Stuart Pearce. It would at least be a fresh start.

[Ivelliis]

I was just going to mention Stuart Pearce as another example, johnny. I think his way of motivating (makes the players shit scared of him *g*) works well. He cares about his team, you can see it pisses him off if they don't get a throwing, or a player gets booked for a silly offence.

McClaren isn't like that. To us fans it looks like he doesn't care whatsoever.

Also in his contract is a get-out clause that means he can leave if leaving for the England job.
