Steve McLaren Announced As Nottingham Forest Manager

Former England manager Steve McLaren has agreed to become nPower Championship side Nottingham Forest’s next manager following Billy Davies’ firing on Sunday. McLaren, who’s slowly regained some of his lustre following a dismal spell in charge of the national team, had been fired by Bundesliga club Wolfsburg in February following poor results and a series of disputes with the board. Hopefully there’ll be no such issues at Forest - for now, chief executive Mark Arthur was only too happy to sing McLaren’s praises:

Note the pointed lack on mentioning the fact that McLaren held the England job, probably the most prestigious managerial position in the world. I wonder why that might be.
