Talk:Steve McClaren

message: The Amount of vandalism this Page suffers from English people shows how shit McClaren must be as a manager.  That people from his own country would write disgusting criticism on his page proves, as well as his record in competition - that he is not very good at managing football teams.
Thoughts?

replies: text: Yeah. He's also managing England which makes him a legitimate target for all forms of abuse and intrusion into the private lives of himself and everyone around him. I think The News of The World is has plans to do a weekly pull out featuring previously unseen information about a different one of the items of furniture in his living room.

message: I was in the year above Steve at Nunthorpe. I've edited the part about him representing Yorkshire as a schoolboy - he couldn't have, as the county didn't exist as a political or sporting unit for football teams anymore after 1973. He would have represented North Yorkshire, as did Brian Kelly of Nunthorpe School in our year. (A team, by the way, that also included future Leeds United player Aiden Butterworth from Tadcaster Grammar School.)
A little known fact relates to Steve's other sporting talents as a youth because he was York U/16 tennis and squash champion!!   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.73.2.55 (talk) 14:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any proof about the line which says that the FA will sack Steve if the fans continue to boo him? That sounds very farfetched, and I don't see even the Sun mention it. If there is no evidence, it may violate WP:BLP--Kylohk 20:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've decided to remove that paragraph. I can imagine the impact on Steve McClaren's life and career, and possibly provoke mass booings by any disgruntled England fans if it stays there. Hence I am removing it per WP:BLP, which states that articles on living persons must be written in a neutral, verifiable manner.--Kylohk 23:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the England Head Coach section 

message: Is it wrong to write that he has lost the trust of the England fans when he so obviously has? As a fan and in being so knowing a large number of people who also are fans and in my ability to read papers and so gauge public opinion that in his time as England manager he was an unpopular choice to start with and has done nothing to improve his relationship to the fans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Browner7680 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: There are still a number of people out there who believe in the manager of the England team, no matter what predicament it is in. Even if many people are disappointed, it's still not neutral to say he's lost the trust.--Alasdair 05:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Steve McClaren England 

message: Why are there two boxed quotes about Beckham? Why aren't there quotes of what he said about Carragher? Why aren't there quotes about what he said about Sol Campbell returning? I'm sick of the numerous references to that overrated celebrity!
By the way, I don't know anybody who hasn't lost faith in McClaren!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.95.3 (talk) 08:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted the part which stated that Russia are Englands closest rivals, it simply isn't true. Englands rivals are Argentina, Germany and possibly Scotland.

message: Do you think, being as we're not going to hear from him for a while, that this page should be locked again? Just a suggestion... and it'll stop vandalism that'll probably come.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rup235 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "His first commentary game will be Austria v Croatia on 8 June 2008 - a game in which he would have managed England in place of Croatia, had qualification been achieved"
Are we quite sure about this? I thought Croatia finished top of the group ahead of Russia so had England qualified surely, depending on results, they would have been more likely to qualify at the expense of Russia than Croatia. Aside from that, even if England had qualified in place of Croatia, England would most likely have had a higher co-efficent than Croatia and so could well have been placed in a different pot and may not have even been drawn into the same group as Austria. There is no mention of how England might have been involved in this game on the source given. Does anyone have any reliable source stating that England would definately have been drawn into the same group that Croatia have if they had qualified in their place? If not, I think this claim should be removed, there are any number of circumstances which could lead to England being drawn into a different group to which Croatia where drawn into. MarkB79 (talk) 20:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think information about his first commentary game is notable enough to be in the lead anyway. Remove the claim, and move the sentence into relevant area of the article. Mas 18 dl (talk) 21:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Done. MarkB79 (talk) 22:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Well fair enough, I wouldn't have expected Croatia to be seeded as high as Pot 2, but regardless it's all based on assumptions that England would have achieved certain results and qualified ahead of Croatia rather than Russia so it dosen't belong in the article. As for the wally with the brolley, he's off to FC Twente apparently to put a stop to their recent revival. MarkB79 (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Has anyone got a free image of him in his last game (with the brolly) to add to the article? If not, could a non-free image be used under fair use as Images with iconic status or historical importance: As subjects of commentary. or Film and television screen shots: For critical commentary as per Wikipedia:Non-free content? I think in terms of iconic status and significance to the history of english football (and hence popular culture), it could be justified in the article discussion...Jw2034 (talk) 22:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
