Sum up McClaren in three words and win
In the absence of anything better to do over the next nine months, it seems that the nation has found a new sport: criticising Steve McClaren. But like fox hunting, the pursuit of England’s very own Basil Brush has become more of a cruel sport than fair game. So to make the fun and game more seemly, and in keeping with this newspaper’s venerable traditions, Times Online has introduced a few guidelines. Hopefully it will help keep the League Against Cruel Sports off our backs, too.
The aim of the game is simple. We want you to sum up McClaren’s tenure in three words – no more, no less. And no swearing, please.
Your reward? An organic vegetable basket complete with turnips, swedes and carrot tops (you can probably see what we did there).
Thanks for nothing
