Thursday 22 November 2007

Bye-bye McClaren!

"No I won't. I understand the question but I'm not going to discuss my future."
England head coach Steve McClaren said he would not resign after last night's defeat at Wembley

"I would like to thank Steve for the work he has done since taking on the position last summer. His commitment to the job could not be questioned and I wish him the best for the future.
"The recruitment process for the new coach begins now and we will do everything to get the right man for the job."

The FA brought a swift end to McClaren's 18-month reign as England's head coach at an emergency meeting.

From the day they announced that McClaren was England coach, the whole nation knew the FA made a bad mistake.
