Aston Villa are believed to have placed Steve McClaren on their shortlist as a possible candidate to replace Gerard Houllier at Villa Park.
The former England boss is supposed to be keen to return to the Barclays Premier League.
PENDLE VERDICT – Steve McClaren is a good manager with a good track record in club management and should do a great job for Villa if he’s appointed. However, he will most recently be remembered for his poor track record with England and his amusing Dutch accent during a TV interview whilst manager of FC Twente. Unfortunately for him, we think he will be in for a torrid time if and when he returns.
