Ex-Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says former manager Steve McClaren wasn’t honest with him, which led to the player handing in a transfer request.

Maybe McLaren just got sick of him trying to angle a pay rise or contract extension every year.

Maybe if the Club had paid Schwarzer what other major players were paid he wouldn't have had to angle after anything.
Schwarzer was there in all our important moments. He did rather better after us than we did after him.

Yeah a few players were not happy under McLaren Viduka had almost gone to West Ham before the 2006 season started had a medical & everything changed his mind just before signing. apparently a few more of the senior players wanted out too.

"Schwarzer critical of McLaren"
I'm very surprised by that.

After a tough period they are on their way back and sit 3rd in the Constructors, and have a very bright talent in Norris.
Possibly he thinks they aren't giving his fellow countryman Daniel Ricciardo a fair crack of the whip & that has lead to his complaint of them at this time.

'If Steve told me the grass was green I'd go out and check'.

Mac did a charity chat at a local school and it was the most boring 2 hours ever. Hardly mentioned the Boro at all. He just wanted to talk about his time at Utd and how he was a brilliant innovative coach at Oxford that caught Fergies eye.

Came to the end and each table got to submit a written question for him to open and read before answering.
Mine was "What was it like getting sloopy seconds after Sven"

Needless to say no that one was binned.

Given your written question, can I suggest that I’m not surprised you were bored as it sounds like the evening was probably a bit ‘high brow’ for you.

Skippy for me is the best goalie we ever had at the Boro. He made a lot of money and his agent knew how to get the best contracts. Part of this involved Skippy saying he was ready to leave at the end of each contract if he didn't get what he wanted. He played the same game Mac and the club did.
Now he has become a bit of a rent a quote on the football scene to make a few bob.
