Former England manager Steve McClaren is claimed to be the frontrunner to succeed Roy Keane as Town manager, according to one of this morning’s tabloids. McClaren is currently manager of Dutch side FC Twente.
Earlier in the week chief executive backed Keane despite the Blues’ disappointing start to the season, however, this morning’s report claims club owner and chairman Marcus Evans is less happy and that McClaren has been discussed as a possible successor to the Irishman.
It’s highly unlikely that Clegg was speaking purely for himself as is suggested rather than for Evans and the board as a whole and the story appears to be nothing more than tabloid rumour-mongering.
