McClaren was the most successful manager M'boro have had under Gibson. The new manager like McClaren was assistant manager / coach at one of the biggest clubs in the world prior to accepting the role. After Strachan and Mowbray, Gibson may have felt that being British and experienced was not necessarily the answer.
If he's so good why has no Spanish club given him a job?
You can't tell me he'd rather go to Middlesbrough than manage in his homeland.
It was Middlesbrough or Croydon...........
God, how depressed must he be feeling after being given those two too choose from. If it was me, i would go for the third option....Colt45 bullet to the side of the head!
Thing is that yes, he's undoubtedly doing a good job, but backed up with a very good academy and a healthy transfer budget. Other managers won't be so lucky.
I'm a little concerned about another 2 managerial jobs going to coaches from abroad - I'm not being a nationalist just think it's a sad reflection on the state of English football that so many clubs and not just the top half a dozen are now looking overseas for managerial appointments

Big gamble by Boro but Mourinho has been saying who ever gets him will be very lucky.
