Unbelievable news as ex-NUFC boss looks all set to land yet another good job in English football
Steve McClaren looks all set to make his return to management, with the ex-NUFC boss having agreed terms to replace Ian Holloway as manager of QPR according to the Daily Mail.
It's quite unbelievable really, but, then again, I shouldn't really be surprised given how often these washed up managers continue to get jobs. Still, how can a manager struggle so consistently yet continue to be handed second, third and fourth chances?
Since 2010, Steve has either resigned or been sacked from no fewer than EIGHT jobs. A stat that will fill QPR fans with anything but confidence.
His latest stint in football was a ‘coaching consultant’ with Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv – yet he only lasted 4 months in that role and has been out of work ever since. You get the picture.

He's got a bit of history with QPR, having been part of Harry Redknapp's coaching staff (albeit for just 3 months) back in 2013, however they did finish bottom that season..
Since then he's bottled Derby's promotion push in the 2014/15 season, got us relegated the season after, lasted barely 6 months after returning to manage the Rams in 2016 and most recently left his 'coaching role' at Maccabi Tel Aviv just 4 months into the job.
I feel for QPR fans. They can look forward to this sort of expertise if and when he is appointed at Loftus Road:
Deary me.
