MCCLAREN HEADING TO ST JAMES'

Steve McClaren is set to become Newcastle's new head coach when he returns from holiday next week, according to Sky sources.

Final details are being ironed out after talks between the two sides.

McClaren is the bookies odds-on favourite to take over from John Carver, who remains in the role for the time being.
The former England manager was sacked by Derby last month after failing to reach the Championship play-offs.
Newcastle had approached Patrick Vieira, but talks never materialised.

Fails to get promotion with a team in one division and then by some miracle gets a job with a bigger team in a higher division!

Remind you of anyone?

Nope.

McClaren was not wanted by his club and sacked only to amazingly get a job in a higher division.

I know of a manager who was still in employment and wanted by his club but left when offered a job in a higher division.

He would be a good appointment if he can do what he did at Middlesbrough.

He wasn't sacked, that's my point. He was still wanted and we had to work hard to get him released.

A totally different scenario to McClaren and the the point of view being put forward by Davids.
