Steve McClaren

The wally with a brolly has rebuilt his reputation and gained a rather dubious Dutch accent since his disaster with the English national side – and is a fair shout for the Newcastle job.

McClaren is currently steering Derby County toward promotion from the Championship so it would be gamble for him to leave the high flying side.

However when a club the size of Newcastle United comes calling, it is a huge chance to turn down and given the side are in the top half of the table and are looking good, McClaren may well find it too great an opportunity to pass up.
