Steve McClaren - My Sporting Life

Sound like he has missed having a Chairman since Gibson who trusts him. I get that to be fair. He sounded very proud of his achievements at Boro though and sounded very proud to still live in the area(y)

Even Gibson doesn't have the luxury of being able to give managers time these days though.
 
'Long term' means something else now. Fans and media generally don't seem willing to look beyond 18-24 months. That is 'long term'.

Even Warnock will only be given 2 seasons to get us up before fans become dejected and restless.
 
He says one thing there which I think we need to remember. We are a cup team. We're never going to win the league. It might seem incongruous to people who have been following us for ages and with only one trophy in the cabinet, but that is what our identity should be. b***ks to all this Ajax lite and trying to emulate Brentford. Even under Karanka we beat utd and city in the cup, took Liverpool to 14 penalties at anfield and made an fa cup quarter final. I'd rather spend a couple of seasons in the prem and kick up a stink in the cups, than mooch around the lower half for ten seasons desperately trying to hold onto the premier league cash, doing nothing of any note.

I always thought Gibson didn't trust him though, especially with his pop along to the window and check the grass was green comment. I haven't listened to it yet mind, will do in the morning.

Oh aye, there was certainly times where you would think that could be the case given a couple of things Gibson has said. But McClaren says in this podcast that he believes he could of been sacked a few times before our carling cup win and even a few times after it. He seemed grateful he was given chances to build the squad. I wonder if there relationship is good again now as I’m sure I have seen them sat near each other at 1 or 2 games fairly recently
