Steve McClaren A Couple of Days In

Well Steve's been in the hot seat for two days and all's going well. There's been no suggestive snaps of his other half in the papers, no criticisms of his selection. But there has been intrigue with Alan Shearer not taking a position with the new England head coach.

Personally, I've got a lot of respect for Steve Mclaren and believe that the rest of the squad do too. I'm sure that he'll mount a serious challenge and allow the team to perform to their best during Euro 2008.

But if you're intersted, here are some quotes from some of the papers:

Daily Mirror - Steve McClaren began his England mission yesterday and immediately vowed to heal the FA's acrimonious rift with Manchester United.

Independent - Steve McClaren finally got his feet under the England manager's desk at the Football Association's headquarters yesterday and it seems that his new employers are ready to grant him the first wish of his regime.
