Success beckoning for Steve McLaren

[Loki]

Seen this in today's Daily Mail that Steve Mclaren is on the verge of making small unfashionable FC Twente champions in Holland today if they match or better the Ajax result.

Without question the England job was too big for him (Blame the FA for that one), I for one would not becry him his success out there. Watching some of the matches on ESPN, his brand of football is really really good.

On Sunday afternoon there will be 20,000 here — and another 35,000 in the city centre — to witness in glorious colour as McClaren leads his Twente team to a first Dutch league title away at NAC Breda.
That, of course, is the hope. It is held locally and also across Holland because McClaren, referred to here as ‘a gentleman’, is at the head of a popular front coming in from the east in a country where Ajax in the west have long been dominant.
On Sunday, should Twente match Ajax’s result in Nijmegen, McClaren will become the first English coach to win a league abroad since Bobby Robson at Porto 14 years ago. But it will not be straightforward.

Mclaren is a bad manager.
He should never of been allowed near a football club again after his disastrous and incompetent time as England coach.
In fact, he should have been dragged out and strung up by his testicles out side of soho square.

exaggerate much

Blame the FA for not having the foresight in employing him in the first place. It's quite conceivable that he could do a Roy Hodgson and take a another club in England onto some euro success. I also seem to remember some of the best football Utd played and Derby prior to that were under the coaching of Steve Mclaren
