If it is McClaren I'll take solace to the fact he's won the League cup, a Dutch League and got to a European cup final. He at least he has it in him, right? But anytime we've hired coaches who have won trophies, they end up failing spectacularly like Gullit, Dalglish and Souness.
Still would much prefer Viera. Have a feeling we'll reject him and he'll do well at whatever team he ends up with.
