Pressure Mounts But Roeder Backs England Boss
But Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder, who knows all about negative journalism, has pleaded for McClaren to be given a chance.
Roeder: "Steve needs all the support he can get. Real football people will understand how difficult his job is.
"It has often been said the England job is a poisoned chalice, but he was brave enough to take it on, he wanted to take it on.
"He has proved he is an excellent coach and I know in Terry Venables he has a fantastic assistant.
"Give them the time to do the job and I am sure they will."
