If you think that England will never win a major trophy under Steve McClaren, and everyone pretty much accepts this, then shouldn’t we all be hoping England lose tonight? An England defeat would see the manager out of a job. But then again knowing the FA they’d probably find someone even worse to replace him and the thought of Sam Allardyce as England manager is enough to make one nostalgic for McClaren. Then again as a Newcastle fan, I can see one major upside to the appointment.
