Managing Equals: Steve McClaren and Terry Venables

He had to go but it is sad that the Guardian continue where the Observer left off using a league of losses which sees our man propping up the foot of the table, instead of either points per game or wins where he is merely middling.

Terry Venables is also sacked. But, whereas his own teams lost but once making him a table topper, by winning and drawing the rest equally he was worse than McClaren on wins and no better on points per game.
