I like Hargreaves' column and found this put an interesting perspective on McClaren. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6329999.stm
I'm sure he knew what he was saying here by implication. Lack of International experience can't be good. I sense a player revolt building, this sort of thing doesn't just come out of the blue.
Also for the record, it was probably SGE's best quality that when he came into the position it was a clean slate for everyone and he really managed to bring some untested players into the fold that turned our very well for England in the long run (eg Joe Cole). Exactly the opposite of Stevie who starts by forever closing the door on a decent player (for non-football, political reasons).
