A new era? Or another false dawn for English football?


"It's very exciting, I can't wait to actually get started. It will be a great challenge and a great adventure."

Thus spoke Steve McClaren, as he arrived today for the start of his new job as England's new head coach, promising a "totally different" approach to that of his much-criticised predecessor Sven-Goran Eriksson.

A different approach is definitely what's needed. I just hope McClaren has the guts to make big decisions and drop big name players who underperformed during England's poor World Cup experience.
But beyond the England team, we should be asking questions like:
Do we have a lack of coaching talent? Where are the home-grown coaches with the talent to rival Wenger and Mourinho?
What is more important to us - a strong England team or a strong Premiership?
Good luck anyway, Steve...
McClaren ready for England task
