I wouldn't be happy at all. He might be the greatest manager we've ever had, but it's another gamble that the club is taking.
He hasn't the profile of O'Neill even though he accomplised nearly as much (excluding championships in Scotland) and has managed England. But there is something about him that worries me. I'd reckon if he is appointed and Downing and Young go, Bent will be gone at Christmas.
We need a manager that will make players want to stay and attract a few reasonable players in, McClaren won't do that. A succesful ex Middlesboro and FC Twente manager are not what we need now. We need someone that galvanise will the club to a focus and that will frighten the shite out of dickhead milionaire players.
