Steve announced this afternoon...now official

[West Acton]

I think he’s long gone ginge but would love to be surprised

[Norths]

Welcome Steve

Looking forward to your first McLaren out thread around late October/early November.

[Rebel R's]

Good sensible appointment and not a long contract which is also sensible.

[brightonr]

Just watched interview and it’s s breath of fresh air. Contrast to ollies when he joined and all he spoke about was passion and running through walls.

This is in my view is a proper manager

This brings back a vague memory of a video on the official site soon after IH rejoined. I recall somebody posting how utterly bemused and disinterested the players were looking whilst listening to something he was trying to tell them. I guess what was quite tellng was that the players appeared to be expecting far more lucidity, but were getting waffle.

[qprjeff1882]

Agree. Football is much more than passion and running up hills

[The General]

You not happy with the appointment then Norths ?!

No away wins in a whole year is not good enough mate sorry

[Greg1882]

The abuse on twitter is unreal. Maybe these people need to go support another club

Some proper helmets following this football club. Macs a great addition to rangers, shame the chin draggers on ####ter can’t see it

[hal9thou]

I'm really pleased. I like Ramsey / SMac.

All social media is essentially spin so I wouldn't worry about that.

If anyone hears anything re backroom / consortium please add to thread, a bit stretched timewise today and I can only keep an eye on one source.

[The General]

Why wait till October. Mc Laren Out

[Kit]

Really pleased damn sight better than Olly, sadly. Hopefully an exciting season ahead and a few away wins added in there a little more regularly.

[Norths]

You not happy with the appointment then Norths ?!

No away wins in a whole year is not good enough mate sorry

Pulling your leg mainly, but nah I'm not convinced he's as good an appointment as some of you are. Obviously hope I'm proved wrong.

[QPRDave]

Attractive, attacking, winning football appears to be the aim. Couldn’t really ask for any more than that. Overseen by a hugely experienced and respected coach who wants to work with the young players. What’s not to like?

Somewhat bemused by those full of criticism. Probably the same people who thought replacing IH was somehow a mistake.

And anyone who makes my hairstyle look good is OK with me.

just looking through the sh*t on twitter a lot of toon fans very negative, and a lot fools fans too.
At least i can now make my mind up, terry or not .....come on villa

[The General]

There just worried that we're going to become serious competition again.
Ignore the toon fans there always slagging everyone off ...need to stop watching Geordie shaw and get a job
Tarquins beware we are coming for you again prawn cracker can't fill a ground losers
We are the only real working mans supported club in West London now.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Best news since little n large sold the club
