Steve McLaren must go and he has

Posted on November 22, 2007

As mentioned last night Steve McLaren had to go and sure enough after a meeting at the F.A. this morning Macca was axed. It’s pretty sad that the man didn’t do the honorable thing and resign, but when you have that massive payout it might sway the your decision.

Thoughts now turn to the new manager, I would like to see Mourinho but this afternoon he ruled himself out but he’s still in the list from the bookies. Fabio Capello has said that he would be interested, he is out of a job at the moment after leaving Real Madrid. The early favorite is Martin O’Neil who is currently in charge at Aston Villa , the top ten reads.

O’Neill, M 7/2
Capello, Fabio 5/1
Mourinho, J 6/1
Shearer, A 14/1
Scolari, LF 16/1
Redknapp, H 20/1
Lippi, M 20/1
Hiddink, Guus 25/1
Pearce, S 25/1
Klinsmann, J 33/1

It’s also deadline day domestically so far the only activity at Bloomfield Road is Michael D’Agostino moving to Cheltenham on loan till January the 1st, the deal does have a 24 hour call back. But the night is young so there might be more activity.
