maybe so, but due to the way the FA had done it all, it was their only option.

if they wanted a big foreign manager in the first place then why didnt they say that at the beginning, instead of courting an english bunch and others on the side.

i think steve should have stayed at the boro, its a poisoned chalice that england job, press on one side and the rotten inept FA on the other.

So nothing much is going to change for the next 4 years then

ah well. we'll see how it goes now, we can't do anything about it. never know he might be a success. i wish him the best

Gooner14 · 4 May 2006 at 17:26

I take it he won't be going to the WC now as Sven said he didn't want the next manager there with him.

Good luck mcclaren

Say goodbye to the small percentage of fickle fans in the north east and say hello to the biggest bunch of complainers from all over the country. You'll never pick the right team again and no matter how well you do you'll always be an under achiever if you don't win the world cup in their eyes.

"Eriksson added: "I said that I didn't want the next England coach to be with the team at the World Cup, unless he was already involved in the set-up."

"Steve is a key part of my coaching staff and I'm delighted to have him with us in Germany."

thats off the bur bur sea website

Im indifferent to this to be honest.
Lets give him a chance eh?

I would like to hear the Boro fans reaction to this - Glad to see him go?

It seems like the majority have wanted rid of him for ages just from listening to the washed up legends show.

how dare you! i love that show

the only bad thing hes done at boro is the inconsistancy this season, and also sometimes hes chops and changes far too much.

but on the plus side, he won boro their first cup and also brought about an amazing collection of proper home grown youth players.

Hopefully they can launch a huge protest and Boro will block the move

Given that Mclaren will presumably be at the WC in his capacity as assistanct coach, one has to wonder if there is the potential for him to (inadvertantly) undermine Sven's authority. Obviously winning the World Cup will be the focus and dream of all the players, but in the back of their mind, they probably won't want to get on the wrong side of Mclaren either, for fear of being ommitted from future squads/teams. So what happens in training or whatever if Sven and Steve are giving them slightly conflicting instructions?

and thats something none of the other english candidates could say really

LoadsaMoney · 4 May 2006 at 18:11

ROFL!!! Mclaren, you don't give the England managers job to a manager who can only keep a team around mid table in the Prem, its laughable.
