HEAD TO HEAD Steve Staunton vs Steve McClaren

Hmm, this is a tricky one. After all, they're both gingers and both called Steve. Oh, and they're both rubbish managers. Most Irish fans seem to think that Staunton is a total eejut, while I've yet to meet an England supporter who rates McClaren in any way.

Staunton was certainly the better player, while McClaren's managerial CV is way more impressive than Stan's. One thing is certain: neither Ireland nor England will win anything with these two goons at the helm. If I absolutely had to choose one over the other, with a gun at my head, I'd pick McClaren. At least he talks a good game, even if his players evidently can't play one. Staunton can't even talk a good game.
