Reports have confirmed that Steve McLaren’s latest club will be Nottingham Forrest. Fans around the country breathed a huge sigh of relief as the former England manager’s shadow cast a dark veil over the City Ground.

Fans of Sheffield United and Barnsley count themselves particularly lucky, as both clubs were actively looking for new leadership, at a time when McLaren was out of work.

A spokesdingle said “No-one wants to see a club end up with McLaren, especially one with the stature of Nottingham Forrest. But it’s a dog eat dog world. We just got cheapest man in we could, quickly, and put up the ‘no vacancies’ sign”

Over at Bramall Lane Kevin McCabe had dusted off another of his game-show-host suits, polished his ceramic teeth and faced the press “Hey, now look, you can see what’s happened just a few miles down the road, as Jim Bowen would have said “Let’s have a look at what you could have won”. Were it nor for my vision and foresight, we could be looking at a future under Steve McLaren”. Turning so that cameras could get a better view of the sun shining from his arse, Kevin’s face darkened “You should all be grateful that there is no bigger Blade than me. I put in place appropriate measures to ensure that revenue from the club continues to shore up my faltering business.”

The appointment of McLaren has set alarm bells ringing at the Press Association “This happened so quickly” said a lying git “members of the association are very concerned, the prospect of the Nottingham Forrest and Doncaster Rovers post match press conference is daunting to say the least. To be in the same room with two of the most boring men in football, at the same time, isn’t pleasant, and our members are worried that this level of boredom could cause long term harm. There are precidents for this, just look at what happened to John Sargent’s face after being over exposed to John Major!”

Following his appointment Steve McLaren gave a short three hour press conference, viewers should beware that this conference contains material of an extremely tedious nature, pregnant mothers and those who ‘haven’t got long to go’ should look away now….

I actually think Steve McClaren is a pretty good manager and certainly wouldnt have been upset to have seen him appointed at Bramall Lane.
 
He'd have been a coup. Would have split fans as much as Wilson though. Barring his international nightmare his managerial record is actually quite good.
 
im going to put a tenner on forest for promotion
 
Agreed that McLaren is a good manager. I know Sean's just having as laugh, but it's amazing how many football fans genuinely see McLaren as a bad manager, because the only bit of his career they took any notice of was with England. Do these people never wonder why he was made manager of England?

Virtually nobody meets expectations as manager of England. It's just the nature of the job.
 
He's a bloody outstanding manager.

Got Boro out of a right old pickle that Robson left them in and took them to the UEFA Final. Took Twente to their first league title (probably the equivalent of taking someone like Villa or Everton above the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea etc) and didn't do too bad in Germany given than they sold all their better players from the previous season.

Ok, didn't do too well with England but who could?

Gets far too much undeserved flak.
 
nightmare his managerial record is actually quite good. Was excelent at Wolfburg took over the champions side and would have got them relegated if they had not sacked him (OK in Holland things worked out.

True and they got the bigest hiding ever in a UEFA final.
 
his managing is every bit as good as his mastery of dutch

he left what is now a 3 team dutch league , we could beat roda , excelsior and breda, and went to the bundesliga where he didnt last 8 months

the FA giving him the England job is just typical of how out of touch the FA is

I dont agree. I'm not saying he's good or would want him at United but he did a bloody good job in Holland. Unseating Psv & Ajax is like unseating Rangers and Celtic. Very difficult. Absolute joke of a league but to finish top is a massive achievement
