Appreciate there's already a McClaren thread but, well, you know...
Anyway, according to Laurie Whitwell, Midlands football correspondent of the Mail, McClaren has agreed terms with the club.

Essex, it's far far worse on FB, twitter, etc.
There's some sense and reasoning on here behind most posts. There's already a chap who said he won't return to LR until we sack McClaren. We're not appointed him yet and he's not managed a game!
Others taking the "Ollie over Brolly" line, but who didn't rate Holloway!
Complaining is very easy basically.
Some don't understand the reality of who we can and cannot attract player and coach wise.
Some don't truly appreciate our financial situation.
Most have no experience of ever having to lead (set the goal, share the vision, decide the strategy, implement, review, etc, etc) so don't understand how Hoos and Ferdinand will be going about things.
IF we replace Holloway with McClaren, we don't know if we'll be better or not. It's all conjecture. I think we will. I quite like the Head Coach/Assistant Coach set up idea of McClaren/Carsley. But even if you think we'll be worse with this, what's to be gained by coating off the decision and new coaching set up before a ball has been kicked?!
Whether we've treated Holloway and Bircham with integrity is an issue no fan really knows. We are not Ferdinand, Hoos, Ollie or Birch. We don't know what's been said to date and we don't know for sure if anything has been formally agreed with McClaren.
For some those nuances are too much so they just complain. It's back of the class BS.
Wait and see. Whatever happens, turn up and support the team next Aug. |
I get behind anyone in the Rangers dugout , as with Redknapp sometimes a bit too long . I have renewed my ST . Only the appointment of a certain JT would get me demanding a refund .
I have never been on a FB page except for when someone links to it and it wont let me in . I am embarrassed to read some of the stuff "Rangers Fans" put on there .
I would like Ollie to stay , but its not my call .... |  | | |

Only on goal difference though mate...
Plus the teams below had games in hand so we were on the slide and all but in the relegation places... |
the games in hand didn't do them much good as they went down anyway.
as stated, sheff wed appointed shreeve and had the new manager bounce and got out of it we had the new manager splat and went down.
Ollie's points per game in the 13 games were far worse than what gerry had got up til then |  |

Come on man, don't make this your hill to die on.
That team was absolute gash, complete shite, the worst I've seen at QPR in 40 years by some distance, and not a single person at the time held Holloway in any way to blame for the fact we went down. |  | | |

Even as someone who has had huge misgivings about Ollie i have to say this is VERY harsh indeed and it feels all wrong, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I feel ashamed and sad for him, he's laid his heart on the line for Rangers.
Most importantly he'd really turned a corner - I think that he has done incredibly well in the last 3 months bringing through young players and opening up our attacking play. Ever since his finally gave up on three at the back he's found a new groove. We've had some big scores at home.
Let's look the facts - we stayed up with Matt Smith and an injured Sylla up front. That's no mean feat.
BUT my main issue is McLaren is no manager. He's a very good coach. His teams are soft and lack discipline. He is not a leader.
If you sack Ollie then you need a far better plan than Steve McLaren.
Long hanging fruit from Rangers once again. |  |

Mate, they made this decision back when we were debating it weeks ago. It's mostly your fault. ;) |  |

It's all pretty messy. I can understand the board might want different manager but they could have reached an amicable agreement. Sacked with immediate effect ? More to this than we're being told ? |  |
| Strong and stable my arse. |

Haha, COME ON give me a break. We were arguing the toss many months back not weeks ago.
Since we switched to four at the back (by far my main bug bear was the wing backs) I've said on record many times that things have improved markedly. He's also dropped Washington and played talented youngsters.
I said that if we had a strong end to the season then he deserved to stay on. | |

yeah, i agree. Once we'd had some really good performances and were safe I felt he deserved to have next season (although personally I suspect he'd have been out by Xmas anyway). But then, in amongst the good stuff, there's still been some utter dross. Back when we debated that, I thought he should go end of the season. Does 5 good games, 5 bad ones change that? I dunno. Genuinely dunno. | |

Statto.com seems to be down these days. You used to be able to key in any date and it would show you the league table on that day. Take it from me, I’ve done it, on the day Holloway took over on 26 feb 2001 we were outside the relegation places. |
Speaks volumes .... | | | |

Ten years between Ollie’s first and second stint as manager. In the interim, Wikipedia shows an astonishing number of managerial arrangements were put in place and with Ollie due back as manager in 2026, let’s hope the 22 managers we’ll likely go through will give us the stability we so desperately crave! |  |

Ah, yeah, Washington...
New manager is bound to think that they can get the best out of Conor. No doubt he will train well and will encourage the new man that he deserves the chance. Two goals in the first game next season will cement his place in the starting line up and he'll still be getting chances to add to those two goals all the way up to Christmas, at which point the new guy will realise that he's not that good.
Under Ollie, we would have tried to offload Conor and Sylla. I just pray that Sylla is kept on, but Washington sold for whatever we can get.
It's not personal, I like Conor, but he's just not good enough. |  |

If this is true I would be gutted, Ollie deserves time and swapping a manager for a coach is a no no for me |
100% agree with that. Mclaren decent coach but cannot manage - gone by November. |  | | |
