Steve McClaren
Ah, our favourite Wally with a Brolly is doing alright over at Derby, isn’t he? They’ve struggled with a poor run of form in recent weeks, but they’re still in with a chance of promotion back to the Premier League.
The way in which McClaren has improved the Rams since taking over in September 2013 has had him linked with a number of jobs in the Premier League, including Newcastle.
Aside from dodgy accents, stupid umbrellas and a seemingly unpopular reputation, McClaren actually is a pretty decent and successful manager. He guided Middlesbrough to League Cup glory in 2004 and won the Eredivisie with FC Twente in 2010. Fair play.
But would he be a good fit at the club? Well, Jason Burt of The Telegraph wrote last month about exactly what clubs get with the former England man…
If that’s the case, then he might well be the perfect fit for us. It’s no secret that the owners like to have a bit of a say on who is signed, so to have someone like McClaren as their manager may just be their preferred option.
Either way, let’s hope puts on an accent if he does end up as our manager. Imagine McClaren putting on a cockney accent. How good would that be!?
