Dead Manager Walking

A couple of weeks ago, we blogged about how Steve McClaren’s neck was very much on the line.

Yesterday, he was officially sacked and England are now on the hunt for a new manager.It’s not a surprise. Mc Claren was a spare part left over from the Sven Goren Erickson era and now England can get a new style of manager and inject some new ideas and energy.

So with England and Ireland both now looking for new men, it could come down to a tug of war between the two. The FA have the cash, but England manager is probably the worst managerial job there is due to all the hype and pressure.
