The best man for the job was undoubtedly Scolari. But there is no doubt that popular opinion from those such as yourself wanted an Englishman, or, as consolation, an Irishman.
ReplyDeleteSo what happens now? Those like McLaren who had been in the frame will think they are only getting the job as a result of someone else turning it down - it won't exactly be a thrilling prospect for them.
McLaren will be judged by his results and proving the suckers were wrong to snub him in the first place will provide him with plenty of motivation. People from Hull are used to being shat upon. How could Scolari really be the best man for the job when he can't speak English? Often you could make a chimpanzee the manager of Brazil and the team would still win cups. In some respects managers are only as good as the players they have got.
ReplyDeleteOh and CLIFF RICHARD - McLaren IS available. Middlesborough can have Steve Bruce when Birmingham dump that squashed-face turncoat.
Why, why, why no mention of Graham Taylor ? He's out of work, knows the ropes and would provide a steadying hand on the tiller of the troubled ship Ingerlund.
