Footy fans are morons in general. Look at our lot, many wanted Bobby peddled. Means nowt. He did a very good job at Boro, keeping them up, winning a trophy, getting to Europe and bringing on youth. They would f***ing kill for those days now.
I know plenty of Everton fans who constantly asked questions of Moyes and were delighted to see him leave.
For the time Middlesbrough were pretty big spenders which helped contribute to the success. The football was awful which I believe was why the fans didn't like him.
While you can say that perhaps McClaren has had more success, I would say he has also had a lot more failure too.
