LONDON -- When Steve McClaren was named Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor as England head coach few outside of the Football Association -- and quite a few inside by all accounts -- believed the former Middlesbrough manager was any more than the Son of Sven . . . Sven Lite.
Less than a year into his reign McClaren is a dead manager walking. He was the wrong appointment at the time and looks an even worse choice 244 days later.
