Wacky Mac: Schteeve McClaren Admits to Being “Crazy”

Ronaldo Assis de Moreira Jan 19, 2009

Steve McClaren has delivered yet another PR disaster in his latest post-match interview at FC Twente, calling himself โ€œcrazyโ€ and directly then contradicting himself within one minute about the timing of his first meeting with his new employers.

Things had started so well. Twente are riding high in the Dutch Eredivisie, currently sitting in third place after having beaten Vitesse Arnhem 2-1 at the weekend. And maybe it was this relaxed frame of mind which coaxed Schteeve into dropping his guard. Regardless of the reason, the result was a car-crash on screen.

Amazingly, despite having been in Holland from almost half a year McClaren still hasnโ€™t grasped how to talk properly, continuing to speak (or should that be sing) in patronising broken English and short sentences. But it was his substance rather than his form which made him look like a prat this time.

After two minutes of the interview the presenter asked McClaren about Joop Munsterman, Twenteโ€™s chairman, who was apparently sitting in the studio giving his views. McClaren instantly became animated, the smile beaming across his face as he got a chance to talk nonsense.

And that is exactly what he did. Beginning his ramble by calling Joop โ€œcrazy,โ€ McClaren happily went about recalling the time โ€œwhen I first met him five years ago he said he would build and new stadium and get into the Champions League and heโ€™s done itโ€ฆWeโ€™re probably both a little crazy and thatโ€™s why we suit each other.โ€

When the presenter finally got an opportunity to ask another question she quickly went about trying to find out more information about this first meeting between McClaren and Twente five years ago.

Brilliantly McClaren found himself in a hole, his face dropping to the floor, with his only option being a numbnuts rebuttal of โ€œI said five years ago he said to everybody he would build a new stadium and get them to the Champions League and heโ€™s done that. He told me that on the first day I met him.โ€

Glad no-one saw that. Oh, we did!
