10 Problems Steve McClaren Doesn't Want To Admit About Newcastle
2. Steve McClaren Probably Regrets Taking The Job
Steve McClaren's immediate concerns to take over Newcastle United as they battled to avoid relegation towards the end of the 2014-15 season will have resurfaced. Failure at St James' Park will be sixth successive blemish on the former England boss' CV and a move back down to the Championship would be highly likely. Still winless in the league, McClaren has not had the start he would have hoped for, despite the club spending almost £50m in the summer and is probably regretting his move to Tyneside. The manager had worked hard to develop his reputation during his time at Derby County and he was starting to become known for his attractive, possession-based football with the Rams.
