What is it with the former England manager, Steven McClaren? After the last video surfaced with him speaking with what can only be regarded as a ludicrous joke Dutch-accent just weeks after moving to Holland, he has done it again as this YouTube clip demonstrates.
In a desperate attempt to save the man’s global reputation I’m making a personal plea:
Dear Schteve,
This is very bad karma. You’re not only being ridiculed for your lack of football acumen; you’ve become a laughing stock in the world of football because of your linguistic shenanigans.
The story that is being told about you is a man on the verge of lunacy. A man whose reputation suffered at the hands of English football, that’s for sure, but whose making another massive cock-up in Holland by forgetting to speak English like you used to.
If it was April 1 I would assume this is your wacky PR team trying to run a viral marketing campaign to show what a wacky guy you are. But it’s not. It’s you. Doing it again for Dutch TV.
In the hope that this blog post is supremely SEO-optimised and that you come across it: please stop now Steve. I can’t take laughing anymore. Besides, I don’t like seeing anyone suffer.
