Before the paint on Israel’s upright saved us from Russia scoring the goal that would have knocked us out of Euro 2008 we ran a poll asking if Steve McClaren should be sacked if what we thought the inevitable happened.
A unanimous 84% (762 people) said that if McClaren failed to take us to the Alps his time was up – but has anything changed now that we’re in a position to go through? All we need is a home draw against Croatia and if we win we’ll end up topping the group, which was unthinkable only a couple of days ago.
Does McClaren deserve a stay of execution for turning it around or will we just be papering over the cracks by keeping him?
