I think of McClaren as a bit of a jouneyman type manager. I'm sure he'll be OK and keep us in the mediocrity we're used. I'm not that excited. I'll get behind him and unlike some others, won't be jumping on his back at the first poor performance or defeat.
I can't help but think of his England days though. Strange team selections and players playing out of position. He really used to frustrate me. Oh and I wonder if he'll stick a bid in for Stuart bloody Downinig.
One thing is for sure, we need new ideas and new management so heopfully he'll get them playing together and with a bit of luck, we'll get some new blood in the team.

McClaren has always been a very good coach but never made the transition to become a manager. Got sacked at Nottingham Forest and Derby. I can't help but think of his England days though.

Andy Townsend's wife came up with "wally with the brolly". Apparently she was watching at home, he was co commentating and she called him at half time and said it. He laughed, mentioned it to someone else, word got around and the Daily Mail ran with it as their back page the next day!Cool story bro!

I read that we were going for Mario Ballotelli.
That would be purely belter.
I really hope that rumour dies a death. The last thing we need it Mario on the books, the guy is a walking disaster.That would be purely belter.
Lots of rumours floating around at the minute, some quite exciting. I'm taking the usual stance though; unless they're pictured holding the shirt then it isn't true.
We are being promised 3-4 signings within the next few weeks though and it looks like we are targeting players with values between £8-15 million.
