oh yeah lets pit a 40K a week player agianst a romanian that is such a level playin field

they shud've hammered steau - as novel the last min goals are mclaren wont last two yrs. and lest we not forget this is the same mclaren who was sittin on the bench as sven when england was losing against brazil and didtn suggest anything.

so if maccy does become one week we can lose 7-0 to italy and then next week we can win germany 3-0? tactically macccy is as unsafe choice as his boro career suggests it is...

as for the alf ramsey comparison

He retired from playing in 1955 to become manager of Ipswich Town, which he managed very successfully, taking the team from the Third Division South to First Division champions in 1962,a truly momentous achievement for a club whose status was very minor to this point,and ambitions were equally modest.

i really missed that season when boro won the premiership...
