Out of the three (Englishmen) that were supposedly in the running, I think McClaren was the best choice for all round experience.

Pearce should be groomed as McClaren's successor imo

Wrong choice*, wrong time**. They could have had Scolari and Hiddink but ****ed it up.
* If you include foreign coaches, then yes maybe Scolari, I will be watching Portugal with some interest come June, I would have liked to have seen either Wenger or Mourinho in the reckoning, but no doubt Dein and Kenyon made that mission impossible.
