[RP]

Shock.

[Stevie H]

didn't see that coming.

[RP]

Gobsmacked.

[Montse]

Gawd, now starts the winter of speculation of the next lamb for the slaughter!

[magic melia]

I blame the press

[Siang]

Why? What's he done wrong? So soon too... the team needs time to gel together.. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

'his reign is the shortest in english football history'.

 

what's his payoff? couple of mill?

[Hassony]

international managers should not be given more than 2 years contract, and should be judged on their performance after the euros and the world cup

 

its not like the FA were worried about Brazil trying to poach Mclaren!!!!!!!

They over-compensated because of their public courtship of Scolari, they had to make it look like they really really wanted Steve all along.

[John am Rhein]

Gobsmacked.

 

He should be

'his reign is the shortest in english football history'.

 

Is he the worst England manager of all? i.e. worse than Graham Taylor?

 

I say yes.

[Tosh]

Shame. A lynching and a hounding for a couple of weeks would have been far more fun for us all

 

Has Barwick done the honourable thing and resigned too?

[John am Rhein]

They should appoint a Japanese manager. Then he can commit ritual suicide on the touchline with a sharpened FA umbrella.

Only if he posted the sacking letter to McLaren and it got lost in the post. Clearly not, so he's safe

graham taylor was at least a good, proven club manager. mclaren's been a dead duck since day one and the FA are to blame more than he is.

Ha ha!

Am I right in thinking that Taylor was a pretty popular choice as manager?

[Cobs]

poor SCS

 

 

if only he hadn't had all those injuries to key players...........

2.5 according to the Grauniad this morning. I have decided to bollix my job up for the next 18 months and jeopardise all of my company's future revenues over the next 4 years in order to achieve a well-deserved pay-off that will see me straight for the rest of my life.

There were no arguments about his appointment at the time. He had a superb record in club management.

To be fair, that does happen to most incompetent CEOs.

That's right.

 

Just goes to highlight how absurd the choice of McClaren was.

[Cobs]

I say yes.

Taylor's qualifying record was even worse than Maclaren's

 

 

2 men sadly out of their depth
