A four-year, so he should be in charge for the 2010 World Cup. What does everyone make of this not so shocking appointment?

I'm willing to bet with anyone at any odds of your chosing that McClaren will not lead England into the 2010 world cup . For all who say "Give him a chance" well he's got it now . Let's see just how long he lasts .

Absolutely disgusted by the appointment. Couldn't imagine a worse person for the job. His team play completely uninspiring football and he appears tactically inept, as demonstrated by the drubbings inflicted on Middlesbrough this season.
All this in addition to a complete charisma deficit. He makes Sven look positively colourful.
Didn't expect anything less than this garbage from the muppets at The FA, though.

How retrograde a decision can you get in the game? I still remember the bad old days of England managers, when all they ever seemed to say was: "Well if we can boot the ball down the field and hope that a central midfielder gets a head on it and can pass it, and the wind is in the right direction, and the referee is kind to us, and the ball is round...we might have a chance of qualifying if Trinidad and Tobago draw with Lusitania..." Remember that? Remember how embarrassing it was that England managers didn't ever ever seek to win a game and compete on skill but hope that the rub of the green would go with them? Remember how diheartening it was to live through that stuff? No think about all the managers who don't say that and don't think it - the Graham Taylor mantra I call it - and I don;t think, for all his many graces and virtues, Steve McClaren is among them. Scolari, yes. Wenger, yes. Mourinho, yes. McClaren? Back to the Graham Taylor mantra. All together now, "I hope very much that we can hold onto the ball for 90 minutes...." See? It's like a return to the 1980s! Sven, come back. The FA have confirmed McClaren as the next England boss on their website. www.thefa.com/Englan...Quoted

I am truely not joking when I say i would prefer no manager, just let them play how they want to play, at least it would be exciting. In the past four/five years under Sven I don't think I've seen England play exciting attacking football once. (with the possible exclusion of England 5 Germany 1)

Terrible appointment, is this the same Steve Maclaren that Middlesborough fans wanted out only a few months ago? I'm sorry but all the man has done is get a very good result against Roma and scraped past teams such as Steau Bucharest conceding 3/4 goals in the process! Boro are still about 15th in the league, a blind appointment from the FA. Should have gone for someone like Allardyce who has a bit of passion and will drop the big names. And i agree with the Jo Kuffour kid, Atkins should be manager  Come on Torquay, lets beat Boston and complete the great escape! This is a reply to this message

How typical of the FA to appoint the one person the vast majority of England fans specifically said they didn't want as manager. Surely Martin O'Neill would be a better choice!

Well lets support Mclaren and at least give him a chance to show what he can do even if people don't agree with the appointment.
Why do the FA try to spin things BTW?..makes them look even more stupid.

McClaren IS the manager now, get over it or spend the next 4 years moaning like a load of jessies.
He could be the begining of a new generation of world class English managers.
Instead of criticising him complain to the FA and the club Chairmen who would rather employ foreigners on ridiculous salaries than spend money on training our own managers.
I think McClaren is the best qualified Englishman we have, He did well at Derby, Manchester United and now Middlesboro. He ensures continuity should bring in other young (and old) English personnel to keep it going. Maybe the southern based (or should that be biased) media don't want him but it is about time we all got behind TEAM England-fight the opposition not our own!!

I hope he brings the tactical brilliance he has shown at Borough. I'm thinking of that formation in the first half against bucharest at home.
It was him shouting at the players in the quaters against brazil and portugal. Oh how he roused them!

Not very exciting, is it? Uninspired choice that adds nothing to the current setup, and basically means more of the same. Politically he managed to get close to the job, so there's the choice. I heard it and just thought: "How boring".
