Steve McClaren: "My next job will be about the person employing me as much as anything - he has to have vision and be ambitious.

"It's got to be a challenge. That might be abroad or in the Championship.

"Before I went to Middlesbrough, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told me, 'pick the chairman, not the club'.

"And I was lucky I picked Steve Gibson, who believed in my philosophy and gave me time.

"Given time, if you have got the right philosophy, you will succeed.

"When Kevin Keegan first went to Newcastle, they were bottom of the then Second Division.

"I have had offers, mainly from abroad, but none that has really excited me."

Let's hope he gets offered a job in Outer Mongolia ... and he stays there!
