With him as assistant, anything less than a treble is a failure
Yes, someone posted a great interview with Steve talking about ETH. Really good watch and a glowing review of ETH.That’s funny. Wasn’t ETH Steve’s assistant or one of his coaches in Holland?
Wally with the Brolly!
Why do I think that this is nonsense? Was ETH negotiating with United this morning after having already signed his contract and somehow won his first battle.
Is it any different than Phelan?
One of the old guard from successful times being given a job because......?
Because he has already worked with ETH previously, so they have a working relationshop/dynamic that they think can transfer to United.Is it any different than Phelan?

"Board don't want McClaren on coaching team"
1 hour later: "McClaren joins coaching team"
Well that escalated quickly.
I like it but it is ironic that we wanted to move away from the past and stop giving positions out in the club to the boys and now we have mclaren back in dugout.
Does this really deserve its own thread.
I don't see why the board would give a toss except for SAF who I can see finding it threatening. Suspect that was the blockage.

In modern football nowdays, you can have lot of assistant managers not just 1 assistant. ETH has 3 assistant managers in Ajax plus 1 for each individual coach, coordination coach, fitness coach, and goalkeeping coach.
I'm guessing he will try to aim to have 2 or 3 assistants and then use what we are currently have as his individual coach, fitness coach and goalkeeping coach (Eric Ramsey, Hawkins, Mawson, Martis).
The Fergie conspiracies are always amusing.
McClaren was a decent manager in his own right. Boro in the EL final, won the league with Twente.Is it any different than Phelan?
