MATT LE TISSIER insists the FA blundered by making Steve McClaren England manager.
Former England and Southampton star Le Tiss says Martin OÂ’Neill, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Sam Allardyce would have been better bets.
He said: “I was surprised McClaren got the job and the fact he did get it shows the lack of quality English managerial candidates.
“O’Neill or Scolari would have been better. But if they wanted English, Allardyce would have been a better choice than McClaren.”
Meanwhile, GRAHAM TAYLOR has told Steve McClaren to brace himself for a ‘very difficult time’ if he fails to beat Israel in next month’s Euro 2008 qualifier.
Taylor knows all about the pressure Mac is under as he earned the derogatory nickname ‘Turnip’ when in charge of England’s poor Euro 1992 campaign.
He said: “My overall concern is when it comes to qualifying games. Sven Goran Eriksson’s record was first class and Steve has got to get that right.
“Israel is going to be very tricky, and all he has to take into it is the Croatia defeat and this performance against Spain, which makes me feel uneasy.” -
yeah i agreed wif him too..
McClaren lack substance leh..

Maclaren is ok. He was chosen mainly becoz he was already involved with the England squad before.
I think he should play the squad to their strength and not play around with the formation too much if he wants to win games. Anyway, he has the reputation of winning very difficult games from his days in boro, even southgate is becoming something like any other maclaren. I think England will do ok, and qualify for Euro 2008. -

MIDDLESBROUGH chief Steve Gibson reckons Liverpool and Arsenal must take some blame for EnglandÂ’s demise.
Gibson saw current Three Lions boss Steve McClaren bring through a host of homegrown talent at the Riverside. But with Liverpool and Arsenal preferring to pack their squads full of foreign imports, Gibson insists former Boro boss Mac should not cop all the flak.
He said: “Steve can only work with the tools that the country gives him. At the moment, those tools aren’t good enough. “We see the Liverpools and the Arsenals. What are they contributing at national level?
“We’ve got to start looking at not just the head coach but right through our structure. “There are many, many other reasons why the English football team isn’t working.
“It hasn’t worked successfully since 1966. “Anybody who thinks it’s going to be turned round immediately is really fooling themselves. “Our set-up towards football at international level needs some serious thinking about.
“Steve needs to be judged at the end of his term, not less than one year into it after just a few games. “What we’re asking Steve to do is perform miracles.” -

any youngster who just played well in a few games will be known as very talented player..
den its transfer fee will easily go near 10million pounds..
might as well use this $ buy some outsiders who r less known n yet can perform well..
