I'd quite like McClaren, but went for Paul Clement in the end, probably just on the principle of "better the devil you don't".
Advocaat: I’d relish longer stay as Sunderland boss – first two days have been good http://m.sunderlandecho.com/sport/s...-boss-first-two-days-have-been-good-1-7162994
divorce on the cards? what`s the crack with this Clements chap? is he that good or would this be one of those `big steps up`?

2 days? Just wait till he gets his feet under the table! He'll be totally bald by 7:30 on Saturday night!
That's a mistranslation by the Echo, he says he's only here until the end of the season in principle and doubts he will stay as we want a younger head coach.
If they have added the "he'd be interested" bit themselves Have you got a link to the dutch article mate
Here you go. I think he might stay though, just depends how well he does. They aren't going to let him walk away if he wins every game (for example).
Would prefer McLaren but if we are to have a DoF I think Clement may be offered it. I don't think Sam would work with one. I still think it would be an insult to DA if he wasn't given the opportunity to put his case for the job depending on the next few results.
Message to mods. Hello. Look, I might be argumentative at times, but in fairness, my points are always worked out. And, to my eternal credit, I am one of the few on here that can reduce Smug in Boots to his third string tactic - name calling (his second string tactic being counting commas or some other grammatical error). But overall, I don't give you a lot of problems - I treat everyone with respect who isn't a smartarse. So kindly do me a favour, will you please? Please do not ban anyone who wants Glenn Hoddle as the next Sunderland manager. Kindly and carefully please consider an alternative action - ARREST THE BASTARD, BRING HIM TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE ON GUY FAWKE'S NIGHT, HANG THE MAD **** BY A MEAT HOOK UP HIS ARSE, AND BURN THE BASTARD AL- I - I - IVE! Any man that tells David Beckham 'Go into the middle. You're my new Gascoigne.' and drops Gazza ten days before a World Cup game is a ball-breaking, hair-tearing, eye-popping bloody maniac Beckham was never that, which is why Sir Alex would never play him in the middle. Beckham's game was all about delivery - which required the space to do it in. Glenn Hoddle was my all-time hair-tearing, eye-popping, frigging idiot ... IN WHICHEVER BLOOD-SPITTING, GOD-DAMN INCARNATION HE IMAGINES HE'S IN!!!!!. (Pssst, hey mods, I'm joking of course. Please have a laugh, delete what you have to, and forgive me. Yeah? ).
Lets see what he does, i like the idea of having the oldest gaffer in the league with 35 years experience to draw on
Yeah ............. Ferguson & Wenger have done nowt, perhaps someone like Carver would be a better plan.
