Boro: Only the Past Can Equal Macca

Having been handed the worst defeat in UEFA Cup finals history, Middlesbrough look to replace Steve McClaren for the future.

So the board have apparently drawn up a short list of…hold on…Martin O’Neill, Alan Curbishley and…Terry Venables?

I can’t say — and frankly don’t care — who should replace Macca in the bottom third of the Premiership table. But I can tell you that if everybody at FA headquarters should die tomorrow, these idiots in Middlesbrough could take their places and no one would be the wiser.
