    Steve McClaren applies for vacant Derby County managers position

    Steve McClaren has applied for the vacant Derby County position, confident that the third time is a charm.

    Just hours after being sacked by Derby County for the second time, McClaren asked for an interview at Derby County where he plans to explain how his recent experience will be invaluable in helping Derby achieve their dream of Premier League football.

    “They say you should never go back, but then they said that last time,” McClaren told reporters.

    “You have to remember, I’m a much more experienced manager now than the one they sacked yesterday – I’m older and wiser, and that’s what Derby needs at this important time.

    “I’m not the naive fresh-faced 55-year-old they hired way back in October 2016. I’m now a much more haggard looking 55-year-old.”

    Derby fans were not concerned about McClaren’s latest job application; until hearing the views of the board.

    Derby chairman Mel Morris told us, “I thought he was joking, but the worrying thing is, I’m starting to think a man with his CV could be just what we need right now.”

    I've just spoken to Fredor and according to his information it's the 27th time McLaren has applied for the job in the last 2 days, spending £100 million on postage stamps. This makes him statistically the most successful manager in the history of the post office over the counter stamp sales. However he went on to say that the " penny black " was actually pink therefore it was completely worthless. The whole myth of the " penny black " was created by Newcastle fans hoping that one day it would have white stripes added to it.

    In the same way that Chief Inspector Dreyfuss became 'obsessed' with Inspector Clouseau.

    Not at all, I'm the only bloke on here that appreciates his input to the forum, furthermore his obvious attention to the facts cannot be underestimated when having healthy debate.
    If you bastards had as much patience, understanding and respect for him as my good self there's be less vitriol directed towards our erstwhile antipodean colleague.
    You should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

    Anyway I haven't got time to justify your ridiculous insinuations that I'm obsessed by him, I'm taking the dog for a walk.

    " Fredor, Fredor, come on boy walkies "
