== Federalist Zero State Solution is very different from this idea ==

I am fundamentally against this article on many levels since it is far from the Federalist definition of the Zero State Solution. We Federalists here in the Holy Land believe in the State of Israel evolving into the Federation which incorporates Palestinian national will to create a nation for all. Could we expand this article to include the Federalist perspective?

Strongly agree with this, I came to this article looking for the anarchist perspective i.e decentralised and autonomous regions replacing state control. If there is an Israeli state in the holy land how can it be a zero-state solution? [[User:Springclock|Springclock]] ([[User talk:Springclock|talk]]) 23:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

== How is this different to the three-state solution? ==

This seems very similar to the [[three-state solution]]. How do they differ? If they're judged to be too similar, I suggest it might be a good idea to merge the 2 pages. I've also said a similar message on the [[Talk:Three-state solution|three-state solution talk page]]. [[User:Ezza1995|Ezza1995]] ([[User talk:Ezza1995|talk]]) 11:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

:I would assume that they're basically synonyms, but somebody coined the "Zero-state" term because he thought that the wording "Three-state" might give some people the idea that an independent Gaza Strip and independent West Bank (separate from each other) were being proposed... [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|talk]]) 06:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

This solution rejects the Arabs of the regional Palestine the Palestinian nationality. It says there is no such thing as a Palestinian since they have no difference than Arabs. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jewnited|Jewnited]] ([[User talk:Jewnited|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jewnited|contribs]]) 18:05, 28 March 2015 (UTC) 

: That is correct; their leaders have repeatedly said that there is no such thing as Palestinian (Arab) nationality, which is arguably a Western liberal construct. But this is not a discussion that is relevant to the article.

: on the main topic, there is no apparent difference from the so-called three-state solution. Neither name is fully descriptive IMO, but it's what we have to work with. I suggest cross-referencing and will do that here, anyway [[User:Chrismorey|Chrismorey]] ([[User talk:Chrismorey|talk]]) 05:53, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me that everyone here agrees that it's the same as the three-state solution, so why not merge the articles? —[[User:Ynhockey|Ynhockey]] ([[User talk:Ynhockey|Talk]]) 00:07, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

'''Stephen "Steve" McClaren''' (born 3 May 1961) is an English professional [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and former player who most recently was the head coach of [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].<ref name="Newcastle appoint">{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren: Newcastle appoint ex-England manager |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32994477 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=10 June 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref> McClaren served as manager of [[England national football team|England]] from August 2006 to November 2007. He was sacked when England failed to qualify for the [[UEFA Euro 2008|2008 European Championship]].<ref name = "McClaren sacked as England coach">{{cite news |title=McClaren sacked as England coach |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7100393.stm |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=22 November 2007 |accessdate=19 January 2010 }}</ref>

His managerial career began at [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] in the [[Premier League]], who won the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] in 2004 and were runners-up in the 2006 [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]. In 2008, McClaren became manager of [[FC Twente]], with whom he won the club's first [[Eredivisie]] championship in the 2009–10 season. He then worked as manager of [[VfL Wolfsburg]] in [[Germany]] between May 2010 and February 2011. After a short spell as manager of Nottingham Forest, he returned to Twente in January 2012.

Despite his successes at Manchester United, where he had been assistant manager to [[Alex Ferguson]] from 1999 to 2001, and Middlesbrough, he was strongly criticised by the English media<ref>{{cite web|url=http://worldsoccer.about.com/b/2007/11/26/is-the-england-managers-job-a-poisoned-chalice.htm |title=Is The England Manager's Job A Poisoned Chalice? |work=Worldsoccer.about.com |accessdate=19 January 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/20071204045711/http://worldsoccer.about.com:80/b/2007/11/26/is-the-england-managers-job-a-poisoned-chalice.htm |archivedate=4 December 2007 }}</ref> following England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008. McClaren's time in charge at FC Twente saw his professional reputation recover somewhat after he managed them to the Eredivisie title for the first time since their founding in 1965, though he was subsequently dismissed from [[VfL Wolfsburg]] and [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]].

His return to FC Twente was initially greeted with enthusiasm and the club was deemed to be one of the favourites to the [[2012–13 Eredivisie]] championship at the start of the season. However, after unsuccessful results at FC Twente, McClaren resigned his position on 26 February 2013. Within seven months, however, he was back in management with [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]], the club where he had once been assistant manager. In May 2015 McClaren was sacked by Derby County.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32878657</ref> On 10 June 2015, McClaren was appointed as head coach of Newcastle United on a three-year deal,<ref name="Newcastle appoint"/> and was sacked on 11 March 2016.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35736581</ref>

== Early life ==
McClaren was born on 3 May 1961 in [[Fulford]], [[York]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/NR/exeres/61677A56-3C5E-4A86-AAD5-8295515B4006.htm|title=Steve McClaren profile|work=[[The Football Association]]}}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> the son of Margaret (née Bogg) and Brian McClaren who had married the previous year.<ref name="McClaren family">{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/portal/main.jhtml?xml=/portal/2007/05/12/nosplit/ftdet112.xml|title=Family detective|first=Nick|last=Barratt|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=12 May 2007|accessdate=24 May 2010 | location=London}}</ref> Described as "[[Yorkshire]] born and bred", McClaren's ancestors worked variously as [[Mining|miner]]s, [[brewing|brewer]]s, [[cotton mill]] workers, [[Manual labour|labourers]], and [[farmworker]]s, and in [[Domestic worker|domestic service]].<ref name="McClaren family"/>

As a child, McClaren attended Nunthorpe Grammar School after passing his [[eleven plus exam]]s, preferring it over a closer school because of the emphasis which was placed on [[sport]]s.<ref name="The making of an England manager">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4973056.stm|title=The making of an England manager|first=James|last=Clarke|work=[[BBC News]]|date=4 May 2006|accessdate=2 January 2008}}</ref> In order to attend he had to cycle a daily ten-mile round trip across York. This is cited as an example of his determination to succeed in sport.<ref name="The making of an England manager"/> At school he played [[Rugby union|rugby]], [[tennis]], [[Squash (sport)|squash]] and was [[Captain (association football)|captain]] of the school's [[Association football|football]] team. He also played for York Boys under-15 team and represented the county of Yorkshire. Playing as [[midfielder]], McClaren is remembered as being a "tiny" player but also "skilful on the ball" and "head and shoulders above the rest."<ref name="The making of an England manager"/>

== Playing career ==
{{expand section|date=December 2013}}
As a player, McClaren was a [[midfielder]] who spent most of his career in the lower leagues of [[Football in England|English football]]. The bulk of his playing career was with [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]], who he joined in 1979 at the age of 18 after leaving school, He went on to play 178 games scoring 16 goals before leaving in 1985. He then played for [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] between 1985 and 1988, making 25 appearances.

During 1987, he joined [[Lincoln City F.C.|Lincoln City]] (on loan) making only 8 appearances. In 1988, he moved to [[Bristol City F.C.|Bristol City]] and played 61 times scoring 2 goals. He joined his final club, [[Oxford United F.C.|Oxford United]], in 1989. He played 33 times for Oxford before an injury forced him to retire in 1992.<ref name="Profile">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4915602.stm "Rock solid Steve"] – BBC Sport profile, 4 May 2006</ref>

== Managerial career ==

=== Coaching career ===
After retiring from playing McClaren began his coaching career as a youth and reserve team coach at Oxford United, where [[Denis Smith (footballer)|Denis Smith]] was manager.<ref name="Profile"/> He moved back to Derby County in 1995, where he was assistant manager to [[Jim Smith (footballer)|Jim Smith]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Hodges|first=Vicki|title=Jim Smith backs protege McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4969256.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> The pair won promotion to the [[Premier League]] in their [[1995–96 in English football|first season in charge]] and later enjoyed further consolidation in the top flight.

In early 1999, McClaren moved to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] as assistant to [[Alex Ferguson]], replacing [[Brian Kidd]]. At the time he was so little known that he was introduced by United chairman [[Martin Edwards]] as "Steve McClaridge", perhaps confusing him with the former [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] striker [[Steve Claridge]].<ref name="the thinking man's coach">

In October 2000, McClaren was made a coach in the [[England national football team|England national team]] by caretaker-manager [[Peter Taylor (footballer born 1953)|Peter Taylor]].<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren joins the fast lane|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=22 October 2000|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2002/984945.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> He retained the position under permanent manager [[Sven-Göran Eriksson]] until November 2002, combining the job with his roles at club level.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren quits as Eriksson stays|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=1 November 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2386317.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008 }}</ref> However, he returned to assist Eriksson as assistant manager shortly before [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]] as Brian Kidd had undergone surgery for [[prostate cancer]].<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren nets England role|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=14 May 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/england/3679479.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> He remained in the role up to and including the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] finals.

=== Middlesbrough ===
At the end of the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01]] season McClaren began looking for a managerial job, having decided his chances of succeeding Ferguson at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]] were slim; at the time Ferguson was planning to retire the following summer but would ultimately remain in charge of United for a further 11 seasons.<ref name="Steve McClaren in focus"/> With a positive reputation and closely linked with three Premier League vacancies, [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] chairman [[Steve Gibson (businessman)|Steve Gibson]] won the race to appoint him after McClaren turned down [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] and [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. His appointment came after the resignation of former Manchester United captain [[Bryan Robson]], who had been in charge of the [[Teesside]] club for seven years and established them as a [[Premier League]] club.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren is new Boro boss|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=12 June 2001|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/1384386.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> In his first season, Middlesbrough reached the FA Cup semi-final, knocking out his previous employers Manchester United in the fourth round,<ref>{{cite news|title=Boro sink Man Utd|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=26 January 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1780868.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> but lost 0–1 to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Arsenal break brave Boro|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=18 April 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1924953.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> They finished 12th in the league, a small improvement on the previous season's 14th-place finish.

McClaren's five-year tenure on [[Teesside]] saw him establish himself as Middlesbrough's most successful manager as he made the often difficult transition from coach to manager.

After Eriksson announced in January 2006 that he would leave as England manager after the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup finals]] McClaren was placed on [[the Football Association]]'s shortlist to succeed him alongside [[Sam Allardyce]], [[Alan Curbishley]], [[Martin O'Neill]] and [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Who will get Sven's job?|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=24 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4937826.stm|accessdate =15 August 2008}}</ref> The FA first offered the position to Scolari,<ref>{{cite news|title=FA moves closer to Scolari deal|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=28 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4949118.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> but he rejected the offer claiming that the role would mean excessive media intrusion in his life.<ref>{{cite news|title=England job not for me – Scolari|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=28 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4955490.stm | accessdate =15 August 2008 }}</ref> McClaren was subsequently announced as Eriksson's successor on 4 May 2006 after signing a four-year contract.<ref name="McClaren named as England manager">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4969592.stm|title=McClaren named as England manager|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|accessdate=19 January 2010}}</ref> The nature of his appointment earned him the nickname "Second Choice Steve".<ref>{{cite news|last=Scott|first=Matt|title=McClaren gets a second chance, but he sure doesn't deserve it|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=17 November 2007|url=http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/11/17/mcclaren_gets_a_second_chance.html|accessdate=15 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> The appointment was praised by the likes of [[Alan Hansen]],<ref>{{cite news|last=Hansen|first=Alan|title=Hansen's view on McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4965542.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] and [[Trevor Brooking|Sir Trevor Brooking]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Reaction to McClaren appointment|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4973416.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> However, many England fans expressed dissatisfaction with the FA's choice.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fans take McClaren to task|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=5 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4976110.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> McClaren assumed control of the national team on 1 August 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren ready for England task|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=1 August 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/5232678.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> He chose popular former England coach [[Terry Venables]] as his assistant,<ref>{{cite news|title=Venables named England assistant|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=11 August 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4779133.stm |accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> a move seen by some as an attempt to counter the lack of enthusiasm for McClaren.<ref>{{cite news|last=Wallace|first=Sam|title=McClaren insists on return of Venables to England set-up|work=[[The Independent]]|date=23 May 2006|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/mcclaren-insists-on-return-of-venables-to-england-setup-479347.html|accessdate=15 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> He also hired [[public relations]] guru [[Max Clifford]] to manage his relationship with the [[Media of the United Kingdom|media]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Clifford to guide McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=26 July 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/5192270.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008 | first=Simon | last=Austin}}</ref>

McClaren's first decision was to choose the new England captain. He decided to give the arm band to [[John Terry]], the Chelsea defender and captain who at the time had 24 England caps, saying "I'm convinced he will prove to be one of the best captains England has ever had."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4782197.stm|title=Terry named new England skipper|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=10 August 2006|accessdate=10 March 2008}}</ref> In his first squad, McClaren dropped many of the national team's older players including [[Sol Campbell]], [[David James (footballer)|David James]] and former captain [[David Beckham]], saying he was planning for "a different direction."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/internationals/article1218664.ece|title=Mac the knife ends Beckham era with a chat on the phone|first=Sam|last=Wallace|date=12 August 2006|work=[[The Independent]]|accessdate=12 August 2006 | location=London}}</ref> However, McClaren stated that there was still a chance that Beckham could be recalled in the future.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_1933098,00.html |title=Beckham gives Macca a problem |work=Teamtalk |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/20070302211953/http://www.teamtalk.com:80/football/story/0,16368,2483_1933098,00.html |archivedate=2 March 2007 }}</ref>

After starting qualification for Euro 2008 well with two wins, England hit a poor run of form between October 2006 and March 2007 with only one goal scored in five matches, by which time they had fallen to fourth in their [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group E|qualification group]]. During a match against [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]] in March 2007, McClaren and the England team received abuse from supporters during a poor performance in a 3–0 win. McClaren walked out of the post-match press conference after only two minutes of questions, saying, "Gentlemen, if you want to write whatever you want to write, you can write it because that is all I am going to say. Thank you."<ref>{{cite news |title=McClaren appeals to England fans |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6498347.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=29 March 2007 |accessdate=24 May 2010 }}</ref>

In May 2007, McClaren made a U-turn by recalling Beckham into the England squad. England subsequently had a run of four wins from six matches, which boosted the country's hopes of [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying|qualification for Euro 2008]] before a defeat against [[Russia national football team|Russia]] in October 2007, causing England's qualification fate to fall out of their hands. The FA's chief executive, [[Brian Barwick]], gave his backing to McClaren, despite the defeat.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7050180.stm|title=FA boss gives backing to McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=18 October 2007|accessdate=24 May 2010}}</ref> McClaren was also backed by players [[Phil Neville]] and [[Steven Gerrard]], his predecessor Eriksson,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7090907.stm|title=Neville feels McClaren must stay|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=17 November 2007|date=13 November 2007}}</ref> and the chief executive of the [[League Managers Association]] [[John Barnwell]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7096686.stm|title=McClaren critics anger Barnwell|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=17 November 2007|date=15 November 2007}}</ref>

The results of other matches in England's qualification group meant that England would qualify as the second place team by avoiding a loss in their final group match against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] who had already clinched first place in the group. The match was played at Wembley on 21 November 2007 and England lost 3–2; coupled with [[Russia national football team|Russia's]] victory over [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]], this meant that England would not be at Euro 2008.<ref>{{cite news|title=England 2–3 Croatia|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7103110.stm|work=BBC Sport|first=Jonathan|last=Stevenson|date=21 November 2007|accessdate=15 May 2012}}</ref> It was the first time in 14 years that England had not qualified for a major tournament, and the first time in 24 years that they had not qualified for the European Championships.

The following day, the FA held an emergency meeting at which McClaren was removed from the post of England coach along with his assistant manager [[Terry Venables]].<ref name="McClaren sacked as England coach"/><ref name = "Sacked - Daily Mail">{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=495550&in_page_id=1779&ct=5|title=Sacked!

On 14 December 2007, it was announced his post had been taken up by [[Fabio Capello]] commencing from 7 January 2008. McClaren is the only England coach, other than [[Don Revie]], to fail to take the national team to the finals of any major international tournament during his tenure.

===After England===
McClaren announced in February 2008 he would consider managing in either the [[Football League Championship|Championship]] or abroad in his next job.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7244647.stm|title=McClaren ready to manage abroad|first=Simon|last=Austin|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=15 February 2008|date=22 February 2008}}</ref> In May 2008, McClaren had a brief spell coaching then [[Football League Two|League Two]] side [[Darlington F.C.|Darlington]], assisting his former [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] and [[Oxford United F.C.|Oxford United]] team-mate [[Dave Penney]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/05/10/sfndar110.xml|title=Steve McClaren coaches Darlington|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|accessdate=10 May 2008|date=10 May 2008 | location=London}}</ref>

McClaren's first commentary game was [[Austria national football team|Austria]] v [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] on 8 June 2008, Croatia having been the team chiefly responsible for England's non-qualification for the tournament, having beaten England twice in qualifying.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/04_april/23/mcclaren.shtml|title=Steve McClaren joins 5 Live's Euro 2008 commentary team|work=BBC|date=23 April 2008|accessdate=19 January 2010}}</ref>

McClaren made a good start to the [[2008–09 Eredivisie|2008–09 season]]. The club went on to secure second place in the Dutch league behind winners [[AZ Alkmaar]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1029199/Champions-League-beckons-FC-Twente-rain-man-McClaren.html|work=[[Daily Mail]]|title=Champions League beckons with FC Twente for rain man McClaren|first=Ian|last=Ladyman | location=London}}</ref> reached the final of the [[2008–09 KNVB Cup|Dutch Cup]] (losing on penalties to [[SC Heerenveen]])<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8054797.stm|title=McClaren suffers Dutch Cup agony |date=17 May 2009|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=18 May 2009}}</ref> and on the European front, the club survived group stages in the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]], having beaten amongst others [[Racing Santander]] and [[Schalke 04]], managed by McClaren's predecessor at Twente [[Fred Rutten]]. It was the first time in 30 years that the club had remained in European competition beyond winter. Twente were eventually knocked out on penalties in the Round of 32 by [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=622909&cc=5739 |title=Uefa Cup – Espn Fc |publisher=Soccernet.espn.go.com |date=27 February 2009 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref>

At the start of the [[2009–10 Eredivisie|2009–10 campaign]], McClaren's second season at FC Twente, there were question-marks over how well newcomers [[Bryan Ruiz]] and [[Miroslav Stoch]] would be able to replace the departed [[Eljero Elia]] and [[Marko Arnautović]], who had been at the core of Twente's second-place finish in the league the preceding year. However, McClaren led the team to some impressive results, with Twente reaching the top of the league in October and remaining top throughout the next few months. FC Twente, which had never won an Eredivisie title in its history, continued to top the league in the latter part of the season, holding off the likes of renowned competitors [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]] and [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], and seriously emerged as title favourites. They also reached the first knockout round of the inaugural [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]], where they were defeated by [[SV Werder Bremen]]. McClaren signed a one-year extension to his contract in October 2009.

On 2 May 2010, FC Twente were crowned champions for the first time in their history after a 2–0 win away to [[NAC Breda]]. On winning the Eredivisie, McClaren became the first Englishman to manage a team to a top-level domestic league title since [[Bobby Robson]] with [[F.C. Porto]] in 1996 (Robson also won the Dutch title with [[PSV Eindhoven]] in [[1990–91 Eredivisie|1991]] and [[1991–92 Eredivisie|1992]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=Steve McClaren the Boss again as Dutch hail unlikely hero|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/european_football/article7113268.ece|first=Matt|last=Dickinson|work=[[The Times]]|date=1 May 2010|accessdate=23 June 2010 | location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=ap-dutchleague|title=McClaren's Twente crowned Dutch league champions|work=[[Yahoo!

According to McClaren, "The relationship I had with Bobby was very special. He was a good friend and was of big influence on my decision to join FC Twente. I'd like to think that he'll be watching from a cloud up above and wishes us the best as we play the last game in the league against NAC".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/6640049/__McClaren_in_voetspoor_Robson__.html?p=1,1|title=McClaren in voetspoor Robson|work=[[De Telegraaf]]|date=1 May 2010|accessdate=4 May 2010|language=Dutch}}</ref>

Twente won 16 of 17 home matches in the Eredivisie league that season and lost just two away. Twente withstood immense pressure from [[Martin Jol]]'s [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] (who won their last 14 games in a row and had a goal difference of +86, more than double Twente's +40) during the second half of the season and trumped the [[Amsterdam]] side by one point difference on the last day of the league to claim the title.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1046/Eredivisie/article/detail/480872/2010/05/03/Traditionele-top-drie-laat-zich-weer-ringeloren.dhtml|title=Traditionele top drie laat zich weer ringeloren (480872)|work=Ad.nl|date=3 May 2010|accessdate=4 May 2010|language=Dutch}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Louise|last=Taylor|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/may/02/steve-mcclaren-nac-breda-twente|title=Steve McClaren goes from zero to hero as FC Twente win Dutch title|date=2 May 2010|work=[[guardian.co.uk|The Guardian]]|accessdate=4 May 2010 | location=London}}</ref> Upon winning the championship, McClaren stated "Winning the Carling Cup with Middlesbrough was special but this is pretty much right up at the top of anything I've ever done.

=== Wolfsburg ===
Despite winning the Dutch league with Twente, McClaren left the Dutch champions on 11 May 2010 to take over as manager of [[Fußball-Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] side [[VfL Wolfsburg|Wolfsburg]], making him the first Englishman to manage a German top flight football club.<ref name="Steve McClaren named Wolfsburg manager">{{cite news|title=Steve McClaren named Wolfsburg manager|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8674543.stm|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=11 May 2010|accessdate=27 September 2015}}</ref> Wolfsburg lost their first three league matches under McClaren – including a 2–1 injury time away loss to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] on the opening day of the season, followed by a 4–3 home loss to [[1. FSV Mainz 05|Mainz]] having led 3–0 after thirty minutes – but got off the mark with a 2–0 home win against [[Hannover 96|Hannover]]. Wolfsburg then won their next two matches convincingly to rise to sixth in the table.

Despite struggling in the league, on 23 December 2010 the club publicly showed a vote of confidence in McClaren. However, due to further poor results, on 7 February 2011 the board decided to sack McClaren with immediate effect.<ref>{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren dismissed by German club Wolfsburg |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9390250.stm |work=BBC Sport |date=7 February 2011 |accessdate=7 February 2011 }}</ref>

Twente made it through the group stages of the [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League|UEFA Europa League]], while winning the first six league matches.

After growing criticism from supporters McClaren resigned<ref>{{cite news |author=Gratton, Doug |url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/europe/article3699582.ece |title=Steve McClaren resigns as Twente coach |work=The Times |location=London |date=26 February 2013 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref> his position on 26 February, stating: "We agree the Club is bigger than any one individual and Twente is too big in my heart to stand in the way of its progress".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fctwente.nl/blog/2013/02/steve-mcclaren-vertrekt-bij-fc-twente/ |title=» Steve McClaren vertrekt bij FC Twente |publisher=Fctwente.nl |date=26 February 2013 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref>

===Queens Park Rangers===
On 2 July 2013, McClaren became part of [[Harry Redknapp]]'s coaching staff at Queens Park Rangers in the Championship after agreeing a short-term three-month deal.

===Derby County===
In September 2013, less than three months after being appointed at QPR, McClaren returned to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] when he was appointed [[head coach]] to replace the sacked [[Nigel Clough]], signing a two and a half year deal.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2440227/New-Derby-boss-Steev-McClaren-determined-rebuild-managerial-reputation-England.html |title= McClaren determined to rebuild his managerial reputation in England |date=2 October 2013 |work=Daily Mail |accessdate=2 October 2013 |location=London |first=Neil |last=Moxley}}</ref><ref name="McClarenDerbyManager">{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24331558 |title=Steve McClaren named as Derby County head coach |date=30 September 2013 |publisher=BBC }}</ref> He appointed former Derby winger [[Paul Simpson (footballer)|Paul Simpson]] and former Manchester United goalkeeping coach [[Eric Steele]] to his backroom staff.<ref name="McClarenDerbyManager"/> Derby's first match following McClaren's appointment was at home to [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], though Academy Manager [[Darren Wassall]] took charge of the team. With Derby trailing 4–1 at half time, McClaren entered the home dressing room to give a "rousing" speech to inspire a Derby fight back for a 4–4 draw.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11696/8952170/ |title= Championship: Steve McClaren speech inspires Derby against Ipswich |date=3 October 2013 |work=Sky Sports}}</ref> McClaren's first two games in charge brought successive victories, as he earned Derby their first league home win of the season with a 10th successive victory over [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] (3–1)<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24349291 |title= Derby 3 – 1 Leeds |date=5 October 2013 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> and inflicted [[Watford F.C.|Watford]]'s first home defeat of the season with a 3–2 away win.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24502727 |title=Watford 2 – 3 Derby |date=19 October 2013 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> The Watford victory earned McClaren the [[League Managers Association|LMA]] Performance of the Week award.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/mcclaren-receives-lma-award-1135577.aspx|title=McClaren receives LMA Award|date=25 October 2013|work=dcfc.co.uk}}</ref>

After Derby picked up 19 points from a possible 21 in December 2013, McClaren was awarded the Championship Manager of the month award.<ref>{{cite web |title=Head Coach claims December's managerial gong |url=http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/mcclaren-wins-motm-award-1284695.aspx |accessdate=20 July 2014 |work=Derby County F.C. |date=10 January 2014}}</ref> Derby went on to finish 3rd in the Championship in the 2013–2014 season, amassing 85 points and qualifying for the [[2014 Football League play-offs#Championship|championship play-offs]]. After beating [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton]] over two legs in the semi-finals,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27273132 |title=Derby County 4-1 Brighton & Hove Albion |author=Emons, Michael |work=BBC Sport}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27269915|title=Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Derby County |author=Hassan, Nabil |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> Derby faced McClaren's former employers [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|QPR]] in the final at Wembley, where they lost 1-0 to a last minute [[Bobby Zamora]] goal.

Derby enjoyed a strong opening two-thirds of the 2014-15 season, topping the table on three separate occasions and reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals. However, after a 2-0 victory over [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] on 24 February took Derby to the top of the division, their form nose-dived and they managed just two wins, against eventually relegated Wigan and Blackpool, in their remaining 13 fixtures. They missed out on the play-offs altogether after a 3-0 defeat at home to Reading on the last day of the season, when a point would have sufficed. The drastic loss in form was attributed by McClaren to injuries to key players, especially striker Chris Martin, although local press and supporters also believed that constant speculation linking McClaren to the Newcastle United job had been a contributing factor. On 25 May 2015, McClaren was sacked by Derby.<ref>{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren: Derby County sack head coach |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32878657 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=25 May 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref>

===Newcastle United===
On 10 June 2015, McClaren was appointed as the replacement for caretaker manager [[John Carver (footballer)|John Carver]] as head coach of Premier League side [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]]. He signed a three-year deal with the club, with an option to extend the contract to eight years.<ref>{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren Appointed Head Coach |url=http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20150610/steve-mcclaren-appointed-head-coach_2281670_4782996 |website=nufc.co.uk |publisher=Newcastle United FC |date=10 June 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref> He was also appointed to the Newcastle United Board of Directors, along with chief scout [[Graham Carr]] and club ambassador [[Bobby Moncur]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Club Statement: New Board Of Directors |url=http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20150610/club-statement-new-board-of-directors_2281670_4783052 |website=nufc.co.uk |publisher=Newcastle United |date=10 June 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref>

On 18 October 2015, after eight matches without a win, McClaren won his first Premier League game as manager of Newcastle, with a 6–2 home victory against [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]]. This was McClaren's first win in the Premier League since his Middlesbrough side beat West Ham United 2–0 on 17 April 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/10/19/wijnaldums-four-goal-haul-moves-newcastle-bottom|title=Wijnaldum's four-goal haul moves Newcastle off the bottom|date=18 October 2015|work=Special Broadcasting Service|accessdate=19 October 2015}}</ref>

'''Stephen "Steve" McClaren''' (born 3 May 1961) is an English professional [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and former player who most recently was the head coach of [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].<ref name="Newcastle appoint">{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren: Newcastle appoint ex-England manager |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32994477 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=10 June 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref> McClaren served as manager of [[England national football team|England]] from August 2006 to November 2007. He was sacked when England failed to qualify for the [[UEFA Euro 2008|2008 European Championship]].<ref name = "McClaren sacked as England coach">{{cite news |title=McClaren sacked as England coach |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7100393.stm |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=22 November 2007 |accessdate=19 January 2010 }}</ref>

His managerial career began at [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] in the [[Premier League]], who won the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] in 2004 and were runners-up in the 2006 [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]. In 2008, McClaren became manager of [[FC Twente]], with whom he won the club's first [[Eredivisie]] championship in the 2009–10 season. He then worked as manager of [[VfL Wolfsburg]] in [[Germany]] between May 2010 and February 2011. After a short spell as manager of Nottingham Forest, he returned to Twente in January 2012.

Despite his successes at Manchester United, where he had been assistant manager to [[Alex Ferguson]] from 1999 to 2001, and Middlesbrough, he was strongly criticised by the English media<ref>{{cite web|url=http://worldsoccer.about.com/b/2007/11/26/is-the-england-managers-job-a-poisoned-chalice.htm |title=Is The England Manager's Job A Poisoned Chalice? |work=Worldsoccer.about.com |accessdate=19 January 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/20071204045711/http://worldsoccer.about.com:80/b/2007/11/26/is-the-england-managers-job-a-poisoned-chalice.htm |archivedate=4 December 2007 }}</ref> following England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008. McClaren's time in charge at FC Twente saw his professional reputation recover somewhat after he managed them to the Eredivisie title for the first time since their founding in 1965, though he was subsequently dismissed from [[VfL Wolfsburg]] and [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]].

His return to FC Twente was initially greeted with enthusiasm and the club was deemed to be one of the favourites to the [[2012–13 Eredivisie]] championship at the start of the season. However, after unsuccessful results at FC Twente, McClaren resigned his position on 26 February 2013. Within seven months, however, he was back in management with [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]], the club where he had once been assistant manager. In May 2015 McClaren was sacked by Derby County.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32878657</ref> On 10 June 2015, McClaren was appointed as head coach of Newcastle United on a three-year deal,<ref name="Newcastle appoint"/> and was sacked on 11 March 2016.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35736581</ref>

== Managerial career ==

=== Coaching career ===
After retiring from playing McClaren began his coaching career as a youth and reserve team coach at Oxford United, where [[Denis Smith (footballer)|Denis Smith]] was manager.<ref name="Profile"/> He moved back to Derby County in 1995, where he was assistant manager to [[Jim Smith (footballer)|Jim Smith]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Hodges|first=Vicki|title=Jim Smith backs protege McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4969256.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> The pair won promotion to the [[Premier League]] in their [[1995–96 in English football|first season in charge]] and later enjoyed further consolidation in the top flight.

In early 1999, McClaren moved to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] as assistant to [[Alex Ferguson]], replacing [[Brian Kidd]]. At the time he was so little known that he was introduced by United chairman [[Martin Edwards]] as "Steve McClaridge", perhaps confusing him with the former [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] striker [[Steve Claridge]].<ref name="the thinking man's coach">

In October 2000, McClaren was made a coach in the [[England national football team|England national team]] by caretaker-manager [[Peter Taylor (footballer born 1953)|Peter Taylor]].<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren joins the fast lane|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=22 October 2000|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2002/984945.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> He retained the position under permanent manager [[Sven-Göran Eriksson]] until November 2002, combining the job with his roles at club level.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren quits as Eriksson stays|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=1 November 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2386317.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008 }}</ref> However, he returned to assist Eriksson as assistant manager shortly before [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]] as Brian Kidd had undergone surgery for [[prostate cancer]].<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren nets England role|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=14 May 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/england/3679479.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> He remained in the role up to and including the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] finals.

=== Middlesbrough ===
At the end of the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01]] season McClaren began looking for a managerial job, having decided his chances of succeeding Ferguson at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]] were slim; at the time Ferguson was planning to retire the following summer but would ultimately remain in charge of United for a further 11 seasons.<ref name="Steve McClaren in focus"/> With a positive reputation and closely linked with three Premier League vacancies, [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] chairman [[Steve Gibson (businessman)|Steve Gibson]] won the race to appoint him after McClaren turned down [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] and [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. His appointment came after the resignation of former Manchester United captain [[Bryan Robson]], who had been in charge of the [[Teesside]] club for seven years and established them as a [[Premier League]] club.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren is new Boro boss|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=12 June 2001|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/1384386.stm|accessdate=26 February 2008}}</ref> In his first season, Middlesbrough reached the FA Cup semi-final, knocking out his previous employers Manchester United in the fourth round,<ref>{{cite news|title=Boro sink Man Utd|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=26 January 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1780868.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> but lost 0–1 to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Arsenal break brave Boro|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=18 April 2002|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1924953.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> They finished 12th in the league, a small improvement on the previous season's 14th-place finish. The [[2002–03 FA Premier League|following season]] brought another modest improvement, this time finishing eleventh, although they had been in higher positions - and the race for a [[UEFA Cup]] place - for most of the season.

In the [[2003–04 in English football|2003–04]] season, McClaren guided Boro to victory in the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] with a [[2004 Football League Cup Final|2–1]] win over [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] in the final.<ref>{{cite news|title=Boro lift Carling Cup|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=29 February 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3507795.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> This was the club's first ever major honour and also guaranteed them qualification for a [[UEFA|European]] competition for the first time in their 128-year history.<ref>{{cite news|title=Millwall get Hungarian test|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=27 August 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/3603994.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> In the following close season, McClaren was able to attract proven players [[Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink]], [[Michael Reiziger]] and [[Mark Viduka]] to the [[Riverside Stadium]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Boro buy into big time|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=10 July 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/3880227.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008 | first=Bryn | last=Palmer}}</ref> The signings paid dividends as the club reached the round of 16 in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]], having beaten more experienced sides such as [[S.S.

McClaren's five-year tenure on [[Teesside]] saw him establish himself as Middlesbrough's most successful manager as he made the often difficult transition from coach to manager. He was the first manager to guide them to a major trophy and the first to guide them to qualification for a European competition.<ref name="The Times">{{cite news|title=Profile: Steve McClaren|work=[[The Times]]|date=1 August 2003|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/middlesbrough/article391576.ece|accessdate=18 August 2008 | location=London|first=Anushka|last=Asthana}}</ref> He was also the most successful English manager of the early 21st century; he was the first Englishman to win a major honour since 1996 and first to reach a European final with an English club since 1984.<ref>{{cite news|title=Missing: the great English manager|work=[[The Independent]]|date=4 February 2008|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/missing-the-great-english-manager-777729.html|accessdate=18 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> However, many Boro fans were indifferent about his departure believing Steve Gibson, the club chairman, to be more important to their success.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bevan|first=Chris|title=A sad farewell|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=11 May 2006|url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/4760637.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref>

McClaren was accused by rival managers of having a "pot of gold" provided by Gibson to buy players, giving him an advantage over other teams (except perhaps the biggest few clubs in the league) when signing players.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gibson attacks McClaren critics|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=16 December 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/4102259.stm|accessdate=18 August 2008}}</ref> Despite this, towards the latter end of his tenure McClaren was criticised by some supporters for using negative tactics and earning Middlesbrough the tag of a "dull" side.<ref name="Euro final for the Boro rollercoaster"/><ref>{{cite news|title=Football: McClaren under fire as Sunderland taste victory|work=[[The Independent]]|date=26 September 2005|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/missing-the-great-english-manager-777729.html|accessdate=18 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> Some observers attributed Middlesbrough's success to the senior, experienced players in the side rather than McClaren's managerial ability.<ref name="Euro final for the Boro rollercoaster"/>

===England===
After Eriksson announced in January 2006 that he would leave as England manager after the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup finals]] McClaren was placed on [[the Football Association]]'s shortlist to succeed him alongside [[Sam Allardyce]], [[Alan Curbishley]], [[Martin O'Neill]] and [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Who will get Sven's job?|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=24 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4937826.stm|accessdate =15 August 2008}}</ref> The FA first offered the position to Scolari,<ref>{{cite news|title=FA moves closer to Scolari deal|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=28 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4949118.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> but he rejected the offer claiming that the role would mean excessive media intrusion in his life.<ref>{{cite news|title=England job not for me – Scolari|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=28 April 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4955490.stm | accessdate =15 August 2008 }}</ref> McClaren was subsequently announced as Eriksson's successor on 4 May 2006 after signing a four-year contract.<ref name="McClaren named as England manager">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4969592.stm|title=McClaren named as England manager|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|accessdate=19 January 2010}}</ref> The nature of his appointment earned him the nickname "Second Choice Steve".<ref>{{cite news|last=Scott|first=Matt|title=McClaren gets a second chance, but he sure doesn't deserve it|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=17 November 2007|url=http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/11/17/mcclaren_gets_a_second_chance.html|accessdate=15 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> The appointment was praised by the likes of [[Alan Hansen]],<ref>{{cite news|last=Hansen|first=Alan|title=Hansen's view on McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4965542.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] and [[Trevor Brooking|Sir Trevor Brooking]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Reaction to McClaren appointment|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=4 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4973416.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> However, many England fans expressed dissatisfaction with the FA's choice.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fans take McClaren to task|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=5 May 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4976110.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> McClaren assumed control of the national team on 1 August 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren ready for England task|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=1 August 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/5232678.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> He chose popular former England coach [[Terry Venables]] as his assistant,<ref>{{cite news|title=Venables named England assistant|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=11 August 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4779133.stm |accessdate=15 August 2008}}</ref> a move seen by some as an attempt to counter the lack of enthusiasm for McClaren.<ref>{{cite news|last=Wallace|first=Sam|title=McClaren insists on return of Venables to England set-up|work=[[The Independent]]|date=23 May 2006|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/mcclaren-insists-on-return-of-venables-to-england-setup-479347.html|accessdate=15 August 2008 | location=London}}</ref> He also hired [[public relations]] guru [[Max Clifford]] to manage his relationship with the [[Media of the United Kingdom|media]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Clifford to guide McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=26 July 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/5192270.stm|accessdate=15 August 2008 | first=Simon | last=Austin}}</ref>

McClaren's first decision was to choose the new England captain. He decided to give the arm band to [[John Terry]], the Chelsea defender and captain who at the time had 24 England caps, saying "I'm convinced he will prove to be one of the best captains England has ever had."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4782197.stm|title=Terry named new England skipper|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=10 August 2006|accessdate=10 March 2008}}</ref> In his first squad, McClaren dropped many of the national team's older players including [[Sol Campbell]], [[David James (footballer)|David James]] and former captain [[David Beckham]], saying he was planning for "a different direction."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/internationals/article1218664.ece|title=Mac the knife ends Beckham era with a chat on the phone|first=Sam|last=Wallace|date=12 August 2006|work=[[The Independent]]|accessdate=12 August 2006 | location=London}}</ref> However, McClaren stated that there was still a chance that Beckham could be recalled in the future.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_1933098,00.html |title=Beckham gives Macca a problem |work=Teamtalk |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/20070302211953/http://www.teamtalk.com:80/football/story/0,16368,2483_1933098,00.html |archivedate=2 March 2007 }}</ref>

After starting qualification for Euro 2008 well with two wins, England hit a poor run of form between October 2006 and March 2007 with only one goal scored in five matches, by which time they had fallen to fourth in their [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group E|qualification group]]. During a match against [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]] in March 2007, McClaren and the England team received abuse from supporters during a poor performance in a 3–0 win. McClaren walked out of the post-match press conference after only two minutes of questions, saying, "Gentlemen, if you want to write whatever you want to write, you can write it because that is all I am going to say. Thank you."<ref>{{cite news |title=McClaren appeals to England fans |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6498347.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=29 March 2007 |accessdate=24 May 2010 }}</ref>

In May 2007, McClaren made a U-turn by recalling Beckham into the England squad. England subsequently had a run of four wins from six matches, which boosted the country's hopes of [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying|qualification for Euro 2008]] before a defeat against [[Russia national football team|Russia]] in October 2007, causing England's qualification fate to fall out of their hands. The FA's chief executive, [[Brian Barwick]], gave his backing to McClaren, despite the defeat.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7050180.stm|title=FA boss gives backing to McClaren|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=18 October 2007|accessdate=24 May 2010}}</ref> McClaren was also backed by players [[Phil Neville]] and [[Steven Gerrard]], his predecessor Eriksson,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7090907.stm|title=Neville feels McClaren must stay|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=17 November 2007|date=13 November 2007}}</ref> and the chief executive of the [[League Managers Association]] [[John Barnwell]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7096686.stm|title=McClaren critics anger Barnwell|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=17 November 2007|date=15 November 2007}}</ref>

The results of other matches in England's qualification group meant that England would qualify as the second place team by avoiding a loss in their final group match against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] who had already clinched first place in the group. The match was played at Wembley on 21 November 2007 and England lost 3–2; coupled with [[Russia national football team|Russia's]] victory over [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]], this meant that England would not be at Euro 2008.<ref>{{cite news|title=England 2–3 Croatia|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7103110.stm|work=BBC Sport|first=Jonathan|last=Stevenson|date=21 November 2007|accessdate=15 May 2012}}</ref> It was the first time in 14 years that England had not qualified for a major tournament, and the first time in 24 years that they had not qualified for the European Championships.

The following day, the FA held an emergency meeting at which McClaren was removed from the post of England coach along with his assistant manager [[Terry Venables]].<ref name="McClaren sacked as England coach"/><ref name = "Sacked - Daily Mail">{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=495550&in_page_id=1779&ct=5|title=Sacked!

McClaren is the only England coach, other than [[Don Revie]], to fail to take the national team to the finals of any major international tournament during his tenure.

McClaren made a good start to the [[2008–09 Eredivisie|2008–09 season]]. The club went on to secure second place in the Dutch league behind winners [[AZ Alkmaar]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1029199/Champions-League-beckons-FC-Twente-rain-man-McClaren.html|work=[[Daily Mail]]|title=Champions League beckons with FC Twente for rain man McClaren|first=Ian|last=Ladyman | location=London}}</ref> reached the final of the [[2008–09 KNVB Cup|Dutch Cup]] (losing on penalties to [[SC Heerenveen]])<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8054797.stm|title=McClaren suffers Dutch Cup agony |date=17 May 2009|work=[[BBC Sport]]|accessdate=18 May 2009}}</ref> and on the European front, the club survived group stages in the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]], having beaten amongst others [[Racing Santander]] and [[Schalke 04]], managed by McClaren's predecessor at Twente [[Fred Rutten]]. It was the first time in 30 years that the club had remained in European competition beyond winter. Twente were eventually knocked out on penalties in the Round of 32 by [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=622909&cc=5739 |title=Uefa Cup – Espn Fc |publisher=Soccernet.espn.go.com |date=27 February 2009 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref>

At the start of the [[2009–10 Eredivisie|2009–10 campaign]], McClaren's second season at FC Twente, there were question-marks over how well newcomers [[Bryan Ruiz]] and [[Miroslav Stoch]] would be able to replace the departed [[Eljero Elia]] and [[Marko Arnautović]], who had been at the core of Twente's second-place finish in the league the preceding year. However, McClaren led the team to some impressive results, with Twente reaching the top of the league in October and remaining top throughout the next few months. FC Twente, which had never won an Eredivisie title in its history, continued to top the league in the latter part of the season, holding off the likes of renowned competitors [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]] and [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], and seriously emerged as title favourites. They also reached the first knockout round of the inaugural [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]], where they were defeated by [[SV Werder Bremen]]. McClaren signed a one-year extension to his contract in October 2009.

On 2 May 2010, FC Twente were crowned champions for the first time in their history after a 2–0 win away to [[NAC Breda]]. On winning the Eredivisie, McClaren became the first Englishman to manage a team to a top-level domestic league title since [[Bobby Robson]] with [[F.C. Porto]] in 1996 (Robson also won the Dutch title with [[PSV Eindhoven]] in [[1990–91 Eredivisie|1991]] and [[1991–92 Eredivisie|1992]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=Steve McClaren the Boss again as Dutch hail unlikely hero|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/european_football/article7113268.ece|first=Matt|last=Dickinson|work=[[The Times]]|date=1 May 2010|accessdate=23 June 2010 | location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=ap-dutchleague|title=McClaren's Twente crowned Dutch league champions|work=[[Yahoo!

According to McClaren, "The relationship I had with Bobby was very special. He was a good friend and was of big influence on my decision to join FC Twente. I'd like to think that he'll be watching from a cloud up above and wishes us the best as we play the last game in the league against NAC".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/6640049/__McClaren_in_voetspoor_Robson__.html?p=1,1|title=McClaren in voetspoor Robson|work=[[De Telegraaf]]|date=1 May 2010|accessdate=4 May 2010|language=Dutch}}</ref>

Twente won 16 of 17 home matches in the Eredivisie league that season and lost just two away. Twente withstood immense pressure from [[Martin Jol]]'s [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] (who won their last 14 games in a row and had a goal difference of +86, more than double Twente's +40) during the second half of the season and trumped the [[Amsterdam]] side by one point difference on the last day of the league to claim the title.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1046/Eredivisie/article/detail/480872/2010/05/03/Traditionele-top-drie-laat-zich-weer-ringeloren.dhtml|title=Traditionele top drie laat zich weer ringeloren (480872)|work=Ad.nl|date=3 May 2010|accessdate=4 May 2010|language=Dutch}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Louise|last=Taylor|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/may/02/steve-mcclaren-nac-breda-twente|title=Steve McClaren goes from zero to hero as FC Twente win Dutch title|date=2 May 2010|work=[[guardian.co.uk|The Guardian]]|accessdate=4 May 2010 | location=London}}</ref> Upon winning the championship, McClaren stated "Winning the Carling Cup with Middlesbrough was special but this is pretty much right up at the top of anything I've ever done.

At the end of the season, McClaren was awarded the [[Rinus Michels Award]] for Dutch manager of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eredivisie.nos.nl/nieuws/artikel/ID/tcm:45-719720/|title=Michels Award voor Steve McClaren|work=NOS|date=14 May 2010|accessdate=14 May 2010|language=Dutch}}</ref>

=== Wolfsburg ===
Despite winning the Dutch league with Twente, McClaren left the Dutch champions on 11 May 2010 to take over as manager of [[Fußball-Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] side [[VfL Wolfsburg|Wolfsburg]], making him the first Englishman to manage a German top flight football club.<ref name="Steve McClaren named Wolfsburg manager">{{cite news|title=Steve McClaren named Wolfsburg manager|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8674543.stm|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=11 May 2010|accessdate=27 September 2015}}</ref> Wolfsburg lost their first three league matches under McClaren – including a 2–1 injury time away loss to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] on the opening day of the season, followed by a 4–3 home loss to [[1. FSV Mainz 05|Mainz]] having led 3–0 after thirty minutes – but got off the mark with a 2–0 home win against [[Hannover 96|Hannover]]. Wolfsburg then won their next two matches convincingly to rise to sixth in the table.

Despite struggling in the league, on 23 December 2010 the club publicly showed a vote of confidence in McClaren. However, due to further poor results, on 7 February 2011 the board decided to sack McClaren with immediate effect.<ref>{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren dismissed by German club Wolfsburg |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9390250.stm |work=BBC Sport |date=7 February 2011 |accessdate=7 February 2011 }}</ref>

=== Return to Twente ===
[[File:Steve McClaren 2012.jpg|thumb|200px|McClaren as manager of FC Twente in 2012]]
On 5 January 2012, FC Twente confirmed that McClaren has been appointed as the club's manager for the second time.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/8995190/Steve-McClaren-to-return-to-coaching-with-FC-Twente.html|title=Steve McClaren to return to coaching with FC Twente|date=5 January 2012|work=Daily Telegraph|accessdate=5 January 2012|location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren completes FC Twente return|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1004631/steve-mcclaren-completes-fc-twente-return?cc=4716|publisher=ESPN|work=ESPN Soccernet|date=5 January 2012|accessdate=19 February 2012}}</ref> In the press conference after being unveiled as manager, McClaren said his return to FC Twente was 'an easy decision' to make and wanted to set his sights on winning the Eredivisie title.<ref>{{cite news|title=McClaren wants more title glory as he returns to Twente|url= http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2083169/Steve-McClaren-wants-Twente-title-glory.html#ixzz1mpZk1dgL|work=Daily Mail|date=6 January 2012|accessdate=19 February 2012|location=London}}</ref>

McClaren made his first match back as manager for the second time when FC Twente hammered [[RKC Waalwijk|Waalwijk]] 5–0. His return was welcomed by the club's supporters, who wore 'Welcome Back Steve' T-shirts during Saturday's game<ref>{{cite news|title=Steve McClaren makes winning return to FC Twente|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16671309|publisher=BBC Sport|date=22 January 2012|accessdate=19 February 2012}}</ref> In the January transfer window, McClaren caused controversy when he sold one of their best strikers [[Marc Janko]] to [[F.C. Porto|Porto]] for worth about £5 million.<ref>{{cite news|title=Janko leaves Twente for Porto|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11915/7472721/Janko-leaves-Twente-for-Porto|publisher=British Sky Broadcasting|work=Sky Sports|date=1 February 2012|accessdate=19 February 2012}}</ref> Despite this, McClaren invested money to sign [[Wesley Verhoek]] from [[ADO Den Haag]] for £1.5 million (a player McClaren had previously tried to sign while in charge at Nottingham Forest but the proposed deal fell through<ref>{{cite news|title=Wesley Verhoek calls off move to Nottingham Forest|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/14443696|date=9 August 2011|accessdate=15 May 2012|work=BBC Sport}}</ref>) and Glynor Plet from [[Heracles Almelo]] for £1.5 million.<ref>{{cite news|title=HOLLAND/ OFFICIAL, Verhoek and Plet join Twente|url=http://www.footballpress.net/index.php?action=read&idsel=98003|publisher=Football Press|date=1 February 2012|accessdate=19 February 2012}}</ref> McClaren also signed [[Joshua John]] and [[Daniel Fernandes (footballer)|Daniel Fernandes]] on a free transfer.

After a disappointing 6th place, Twente invested in new players including [[Dušan Tadić (football)|Dušan Tadić]] and [[Luc Castaignos]]. Twente made it through the group stages of the [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League|UEFA Europa League]], while winning the first six league matches. McClaren became the second foreign trainer in the Eredivisie who has coached more than 100 matches.

After growing criticism from supporters McClaren resigned<ref>{{cite news |author=Gratton, Doug |url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/europe/article3699582.ece |title=Steve McClaren resigns as Twente coach |work=The Times |location=London |date=26 February 2013 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref> his position on 26 February, stating: "We agree the Club is bigger than any one individual and Twente is too big in my heart to stand in the way of its progress".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fctwente.nl/blog/2013/02/steve-mcclaren-vertrekt-bij-fc-twente/ |title=» Steve McClaren vertrekt bij FC Twente |publisher=Fctwente.nl |date=26 February 2013 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref>

===Queens Park Rangers===
On 2 July 2013, McClaren became part of [[Harry Redknapp]]'s coaching staff at Queens Park Rangers in the Championship after agreeing a short-term three-month deal.

===Derby County===
In September 2013, less than three months after being appointed at QPR, McClaren returned to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] when he was appointed [[head coach]] to replace the sacked [[Nigel Clough]], signing a two and a half year deal.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2440227/New-Derby-boss-Steev-McClaren-determined-rebuild-managerial-reputation-England.html |title= McClaren determined to rebuild his managerial reputation in England |date=2 October 2013 |work=Daily Mail |accessdate=2 October 2013 |location=London |first=Neil |last=Moxley}}</ref><ref name="McClarenDerbyManager">{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24331558 |title=Steve McClaren named as Derby County head coach |date=30 September 2013 |publisher=BBC }}</ref> He appointed former Derby winger [[Paul Simpson (footballer)|Paul Simpson]] and former Manchester United goalkeeping coach [[Eric Steele]] to his backroom staff.<ref name="McClarenDerbyManager"/> Derby's first match following McClaren's appointment was at home to [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], though Academy Manager [[Darren Wassall]] took charge of the team. With Derby trailing 4–1 at half time, McClaren entered the home dressing room to give a "rousing" speech to inspire a Derby fight back for a 4–4 draw.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11696/8952170/ |title= Championship: Steve McClaren speech inspires Derby against Ipswich |date=3 October 2013 |work=Sky Sports}}</ref> McClaren's first two games in charge brought successive victories, as he earned Derby their first league home win of the season with a 10th successive victory over [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] (3–1)<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24349291 |title= Derby 3 – 1 Leeds |date=5 October 2013 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> and inflicted [[Watford F.C.|Watford]]'s first home defeat of the season with a 3–2 away win.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24502727 |title=Watford 2 – 3 Derby |date=19 October 2013 |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> The Watford victory earned McClaren the [[League Managers Association|LMA]] Performance of the Week award.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/mcclaren-receives-lma-award-1135577.aspx|title=McClaren receives LMA Award|date=25 October 2013|work=dcfc.co.uk}}</ref>

After Derby picked up 19 points from a possible 21 in December 2013, McClaren was awarded the Championship Manager of the month award.<ref>{{cite web |title=Head Coach claims December's managerial gong |url=http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/mcclaren-wins-motm-award-1284695.aspx |accessdate=20 July 2014 |work=Derby County F.C. |date=10 January 2014}}</ref> Derby went on to finish 3rd in the Championship in the 2013–2014 season, amassing 85 points and qualifying for the [[2014 Football League play-offs#Championship|championship play-offs]]. After beating [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton]] over two legs in the semi-finals,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27273132 |title=Derby County 4-1 Brighton & Hove Albion |author=Emons, Michael |work=BBC Sport}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27269915|title=Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Derby County |author=Hassan, Nabil |work=BBC Sport}}</ref> Derby faced McClaren's former employers [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|QPR]] in the final at Wembley, where they lost 1-0 to a last minute [[Bobby Zamora]] goal.

Derby enjoyed a strong opening two-thirds of the 2014-15 season, topping the table on three separate occasions and reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals. However, after a 2-0 victory over [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] on 24 February took Derby to the top of the division, their form nose-dived and they managed just two wins, against eventually relegated Wigan and Blackpool, in their remaining 13 fixtures. They missed out on the play-offs altogether after a 3-0 defeat at home to Reading on the last day of the season, when a point would have sufficed. The drastic loss in form was attributed by McClaren to injuries to key players, especially striker Chris Martin, although local press and supporters also believed that constant speculation linking McClaren to the Newcastle United job had been a contributing factor. On 25 May 2015, McClaren was sacked by Derby.<ref>{{cite news |title=Steve McClaren: Derby County sack head coach |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32878657 |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=25 May 2015 |accessdate=10 June 2015 }}</ref>

===Newcastle United===
On 10 June 2015, McClaren was appointed as the replacement for caretaker manager [[John Carver (footballer)|John Carver]] as head coach of Premier League side [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].

On 18 October 2015, after eight matches without a win, McClaren won his first Premier League game as manager of Newcastle, with a 6–2 home victory against [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]]. This was McClaren's first win in the Premier League since his Middlesbrough side beat West Ham United 2–0 on 17 April 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/10/19/wijnaldums-four-goal-haul-moves-newcastle-bottom|title=Wijnaldum's four-goal haul moves Newcastle off the bottom|date=18 October 2015|work=Special Broadcasting Service|accessdate=19 October 2015}}</ref>

'''Pornography''' or '''porn''' is the portrayal of explicit [[Human sexuality|sexual]] subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement and erotic satisfaction.

Pornography may use any of a variety of media, ranging from [[erotic literature|books]], [[pornographic magazines|magazines]], [[postcard|postcards]], [[photograph|photos]], [[sculpture]], [[drawing]], [[painting]], [[animation]], [[sound recording]], [[Pornographic film|film]], [[video]], or [[video game]]. However, when sexual acts are performed for a live audience, by definition, it is not pornography, as the term applies to the depiction of the act, rather than the act itself. Thus, portrayals such as [[sex show]]s and [[striptease]] are not classified as pornography.

A pornographic [[Model (person)|model]] poses for pornographic photographs. A [[pornographic actor]], also called ''porn star'', acts in [[pornographic film]]s. In cases where few actor skills are required a performer in pornographic films is also called a pornographic model.

Pornography has often been subject to [[censorship]] and legal restraints on publication on grounds of [[obscenity]]. Such grounds and the very definition of what is or is not pornography have differed in different historical, cultural and national contexts.<ref>H. Mongomery Hyde (1964) ''A History of Pornography'': 1-26</ref>

Over the past few decades, an immense industry for the production and consumption of pornography has grown,{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} with the increasing use of the [[VCR]], the [[DVD]], and the [[Internet]], as well as the emergence of social attitudes more tolerant of sexual portrayals. [[Amateur pornography]] has become widely popular and generally distributed via the Internet for free.

==Etymology==
The word derives from the [[Greek language|Greek]] πορνογραφία (''pornographia''), which derives from the Greek words πόρνη (''pornē,'' "[[prostitute]]" and ''pornea,'' "prostitution"), and γράφω (''graphō,'' "I write or record," derived meaning "illustration," cf. "[[graphics|graph]]"), and the suffix -ία (''-ia'', meaning "state of," "property of," or "place of"), thus meaning "a written description or illustration of prostitutes or prostitution."

==History==

{{details|History of erotic depictions}}

Depictions of a sexual nature are as old as civilization (and possibly older, in the form of [[venus figurines]] and [[rock art]]),<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=vhSHn-B89A0C&pg=PA195 Books.Google.com]</ref> but the concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until the [[Victorian era]]. Nineteenth century legislation outlawed the publication, retail and trafficking of certain writings and images, regarded as pornographic, and would order the destruction of shop and warehouse stock, meant for sale. However, the private possession of and viewing of (some forms of) pornography was not made an offence until recent times.<ref>H. Montgomery Hyde ''A History of Pornography''. (1969) London, Heinemann: 14</ref>

When large scale excavations of [[Pompeii]] were undertaken in the 1860s, much of the erotic art of the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]]s came to light, shocking the Victorians who saw themselves as the intellectual heirs of the [[Roman Empire]]. They did not know what to do with the frank depictions of [[human sexuality|sexuality]], and endeavored to hide them away from everyone but upper class scholars. The moveable objects were locked away in the [[Secret Museum, Naples|Secret Museum]] in [[Naples]] and what could not be removed was covered and cordoned off as to not corrupt the sensibilities of women, children and the working class. Soon after, the world's first law criminalizing pornography was enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1857 in the [[Obscene Publications Act]].

The Victorian attitude that pornography was for a select few can be seen in the wording of the [[Hicklin test]] stemming from a court case in 1868 where it asks, "whether the tendency of the matter charged as obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences." Despite the fact of their suppression, depictions of erotic imagery were common throughout history.<ref name = libido7>{{cite web| last = Beck| first = Marianna| title = The Roots of Western Pornography: Victorian Obsessions and Fin-de-Siècle Predilections| publisher = Libido, The Journal of Sex and Sensibility| month= May | year= 2003| url = http://www.libidomag.com/nakedbrunch/archive/europorn07.html| accessdate = 2006-08-22}}</ref>

==Sub-genres==
{{Main|List of pornographic sub-genres}}
In general, [[softcore]] refers to pornography that does not depict [[Sexual penetration|penetration]] (usually [[genitals]] are not shown on camera), and [[hardcore pornography|hardcore]] refers to pornography that depicts penetration explicitly.

Pornography takes different forms depending on physical characteristics of the participants, fetish, sexual orientation, etc. Reality and voyeur pornography, [[Animation|animated]] videos, and legally prohibited acts also influence the classification of pornography. Some popular genres of pornography include:

* [[Alt porn]]
* [[Amateur pornography]]
* [[Sexual Fetishism|Fetish pornography]]
* [[Sexual orientation|Orientation]]-based pornography (''heterosexual pornography''; [[gay pornography]]; [[lesbian pornography]]; [[bisexual pornography]])
* [[Group sex|Orgy pornography]]
* [[Race-oriented pornography]] (e.g. [[Asian people|Asian]], [[black]], [[Latino]], [[interracial pornography|interracial]])
* [[Reality pornography]]
* [[Voyeurism|Voyeur pornography]] (e.g. hidden camera pornography, "upskirt" pornography)

==Economics==
{{Main|Sex industry}}

Revenues of the adult industry in the United States have been difficult to determine. In 1970, a Federal study estimated that the total retail value of all the hard-core porn in the United States was no more than $10 million.<ref>[[President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography]]. ''Report of The Commission on Obscenity and Pornography'' 1970, [[Washington, D.C.]]: [[United States Government Printing Office|U. S. Government Printing Office]].</ref>

In 1998, [[Forrester Research]] published a report on the online "adult content" industry estimating $750 million to $1 billion in annual revenue. As an unsourced aside, the Forrester study speculated on an industry-wide aggregate figure of $8–10 billion, which was repeated out of context in many news stories,<ref name="AlternetNaked">{{cite news

A significant amount of pornographic video is shot in the [[San Fernando Valley]], which has been a pioneering region for producing adult films since the 1970s, and has since become home for various models, actors/actresses, production companies, and other assorted businesses involved in the production and distribution of pornography.

The porn industry has been considered influential in deciding [[format war]]s in media, including being a factor in the [[VHS]] vs. [[Betamax]] format war (the [[videotape format war]])<ref name="Macworld" /><ref name="Inquirer" /> and in the [[Blu-ray]] vs. [[HD DVD]] format war (the [[High definition optical disc format war|high-def format war]]).<ref name="Macworld">{{cite web

===Non-commercial pornography===
As well as the porn industry, there is a large amount of non-commercial pornography. This should be distinguished from commercial pornography falsely marketed as featuring "amateurs." The [http://www.asstr.org Alt Sex Stories Text Repository] focuses on prose stories collected from [[Usenet]]. Various Usenet groups are focused on non-commercial pornographic photographs.

==Technology==
Mass-distributed pornography is as old as the printing press. Almost as soon as photography was invented, it was being used to produce pornographic images. Some claim{{Who|date=October 2007}} that pornography has been a driving force in the development of technologies from the [[printing press]], through [[photography]] (still and motion), to [[video]], [[Satellite television|satellite TV]], [[DVD]], and the [[Internet]]. With the invention of tiny [[camera]]s and wireless equipments [[voyeur pornography]] is gaining ground. [[Mobile camera]]s are used to capture pornographic photos or videos, and forwarded as [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]].

===Computer-generated images and manipulations===
Digital manipulation requires the use of source photographs, but some pornography is produced without human actors at all. The idea of completely [[computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]] pornography was conceived very early as one of the most obvious areas of application for computer graphics and 3D rendering.

Until the late 1990s, digitally manipulated pornography could not be produced cost-effectively. In the early 2000s, it became a growing segment, as the modelling and animation software matured and the rendering capabilities of computers improved. As of 2004, computer-generated pornography depicting situations involving children and sex with [[fictional character]]s, such as [[Lara Croft]], is already produced on a limited scale. The October 2004 issue of ''[[Playboy]]'' featured topless pictures of the title character from the ''[[BloodRayne]]'' video game.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/25/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/ | title=Playboy undressed video game women - Aug. 25, 2004 | accessdate=2006-08-26 | work=CNN | date=2004-08-25}}</ref>

==Production and distribution by region==
{{Main|Pornography by region}}
The [[Film production|production]] and [[distribution (business)|distribution]] of pornography are economic activities of some importance. The exact size of the economy of pornography and the influence that it has in political circles are matters of controversy.

In the United States, the sex film industry is centered in the [[San Fernando Valley]] of [[Los Angeles]]. In Europe, [[Budapest]] is regarded as the industry center.<ref>[http://www.escapeartist.com/efam9/Living_In_Budapest.html Escapeartist.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/sex-trade-moguls-thrive-by-the-blue-danube-1329695.html Independent.co.uk]</ref><ref>[http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/netporn/extras/abstract/ Networkcultures.org]</ref>

==Legal status==
{{Sex and the Law}}
:''See [[List of pornography laws by region]] for detailed list''
The legal status of pornography varies widely from country to country. Most countries allow at least some form of pornography. In some countries, softcore pornography is considered tame enough to be sold in general stores or to be shown on TV. Hardcore pornography, on the other hand, is usually regulated. The production and sale, and to a slightly lesser degree the possession, of [[child pornography]] is illegal in almost all countries, and some countries have restrictions on pornography depicting violence (see e.g. [[rape pornography]]) and/or [[Zoophilia#Pornography|pornography depicting sex of a human with an animal]].
[[Image:Peep Show by David Shankbone.jpg|thumb|left|Pornographic entertainment on display in a [[sex shop]] window. There is usually a minimum age to go into pornographic stores.]]
Most countries attempt to restrict minors' access to hardcore materials, limiting availability to [[adult bookstore]]s, mail-order, and television channels that parents can restrict, among other means. There is usually an age minimum for entrance to pornographic stores, or the materials are displayed partly covered or not displayed at all. More generally, [[disseminating pornography to a minor]] is often illegal. Many of these efforts have been rendered practically irrelevant by widely available [[Internet pornography]].

In the United States, a person receiving unwanted [[Direct marketing|commercial mail]] he or she deems pornographic (or otherwise offensive) may obtain a [[Prohibitory Order]], either against all mail from a particular sender, or against all sexually explicit mail, by applying to the [[United States Postal Service]].

There are recurring [[urban legend]]s of [[snuff movie]]s, in which murders are filmed for pornographic purposes. Despite extensive work to ascertain the truth of these rumors, law enforcement officials have been unable to find any such works.

The Internet has also caused problems with the enforcement of age limits regarding performers and subjects. In most countries, males and females under the age of 18 are not allowed to appear in porn films, but in several European countries the age limit is 16, and in Denmark it is legal for women as young as 16 to appear topless in mainstream newspapers and magazines.{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}} This material often ends up on the Internet and can be viewed by people in countries where it constitutes child pornography, creating challenges for lawmakers wishing to restrict access to such material.

Some people, including pornography producer [[Larry Flynt]] and the writer [[Salman Rushdie]],<ref name="TimesRushdie">{{cite news|url= http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article466971.ece|title= Porn is vital to freedom, says Rushdie|accessdate= 2007-11-08|last= Baxter|first= Sarah|coauthors= Brooks, Richard|date= 2004-08-08|work= Times Online|publisher= Times Newspapers|archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/5TD5Q8UAz|archivedate= 2007-11-08|quote= Pornography exists everywhere, of course, but when it comes into societies in which it’s difficult for young men and women to get together and do what young men and women often like doing, it satisfies a more general need....

The UK Government has criminalised possession of what it terms "[[Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008|extreme pornography]]" following the highly publicised [[murder]] of [[Graham Coutts|Jane Longhurst]].

==Effect on sexual crime==
{{Main|Social effects of pornography}}
Research concerning the effects of pornography is inconclusive. Some studies support the contention that the viewing of pornographic material may increase rates of sexual crimes, while others have shown no effects, or a decrease in the rates of such crimes. Moreover, all these studies focus on various correlations, but [[correlation does not imply causation]].

==Statistics==
Two thirds of women have watched porn before.<ref> http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article2355510.ece</ref> More than 70% of men from 18 to 34 visit a pornographic site in a typical month.<ref>http://www.safefamilies.org/sfStats.php</ref>

==Anti-pornography movement==
[[Image:La grande Epidemie de PORNOGRAPHIE.jpg|thumb|A French [[caricature]] on "the great epidemic of pornography."]]
{{Main|Anti-pornography movement}}

Opposition to pornography comes generally, though not exclusively, from several sources: [[law]], [[religion]] and [[feminism]].

===Feminist objections===
{{Main|Feminist views on pornography}}
[[Feminist]] critics of pornography, such as [[Andrea Dworkin]] and [[Catharine MacKinnon]], generally consider it demeaning to women. They believe that most pornography eroticizes the [[Male dominance|domination]], [[Erotic humiliation|humiliation]], and [[coercion]] of women, reinforces sexual and cultural attitudes that are complicit in [[rape]] and [[sexual harassment]], and contributes to the androcentric [[objectification]] of women.

===Legal objections===
{{See also|Legal objections to pornography in the United States}}

===Religious objections===
{{Main|Religious views on pornography}}
Some religious groups discourage members from viewing pornography, and support legislation restricting its publication. These positions derive from broader religious beliefs about human sexuality. They believe that God created human beings and created [[sexual intercourse]] for them in the context of marriage. Thus, sex-oriented entertainment, as well as lack of modesty, are considered to cheapen human sexuality and be a misuse of it.<ref name="Meditation on Daily Worship">{{cite web|url= http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/TasteAndSee/ByDate/1997/3097_Bodies_Breakfast_and_the_Marriage_Bed/|title= Bodies, Breakfast and the Marriage Bed|accessdate= 2010-01-05}}</ref>

'''Mathew 'Matt' Frazer Horne''' (born [[6 September]][[1978]], [[Nottingham]]) is an [[England|English]] [[comedian]] and [[actor]]. He is best known for playing the role of Gavin Shipman in the BBC Sitcom ''[[Gavin & Stacey]]''.<ref>http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/news/Mathew-Horne-talks-smash-sitcom-Gavin-Stacey/article-269082-detail/article.html</ref>

==Early life==
Horne attended Burton Joyce Primary school, a small school not far from his home. He studied [[Advanced Level (UK)|A level]] performing arts at the Minster School, [[Southwell, Nottinghamshire|Southwell]] (taught by Mr Troughton), and performing arts at the [[University of Manchester]]. Here, Horne met [[Bruce Mackinnon]] in the first few weeks of term; they realised that they shared a similar [[sense of humour]], but didn't write material together until their third year of study.

==Career==
Horne began his career as a [[stand up comedian]] and later became one half of the comedy duo Mat and MacKinnon - first performing at the [[Edinburgh Festival]] in 2000.<ref>http://www.chortle.co.uk/shows/edinburgh_fringe_2002/m/594/mat_and_mackinnon</ref>

He was spotted at the festival by [[Catherine Tate]] who invited him to perform in ''[[The Catherine Tate Show]]''.

In 2003, he starred in [[Channel 4]]'s ''20 Things to do Before You're 30'' and a year later earned the role of [http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/showcards/T/ben.html Ben], an atheist [[Religious Education|RE]] teacher, in the [[Channel 4]] hit series ''[[Teachers (UK TV series)|Teachers]]''. In 2007 he starred in the BBC sitcom ''[[Roman's Empire]]'' and in November that year appeared in comedy sketches in ''[[The Kylie Show]]'' on ITV1 alongside [[Kylie Minogue]], playing her assistant.<ref>http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article795546.ece</ref> Horne also featured the Sheriff's court jester in the second series of ''Robin Hood'', aired on BBC One at the end of 2007.<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/content/show-features/robin-hood/mathew-horne-guest-stars/</ref>

In 2008 Horne appeared in a modern adaptation of the ''Three Billy Goats Gruff'' as part of the BBC's ''Fairy Tales'' season.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/3670331/Once-upon-a-time....html</ref>

He also does voice-over work such as for the [[ITV2]] series ''[[Passions of Girls Aloud|The Passions of Girls Aloud]]''.<ref>http://www.episodeworld.com/show/Passions_OfGirls_Aloud</ref>

Horne appears in the forthcoming film ''[[Lesbian Vampire Killers]]''<ref>http://www.lovefilm.com/browse/contributor/67091/Mathew_Horne.html</ref> and will make his stage debut in a 2009 revival of ''[[Entertaining Mr Sloane]]'' at the [[Trafalgar Studios]].<ref>http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/lashmars/entertainingmrsloane/index.html</ref>

In 2009 Horne guest starred in the music video for the Maccabees single No Kind Words.

==Work with [[James Corden]]==
Since working on the BBC sticom ''[[Gavin and Stacey]]'', he has collaborated a number of times with its co-creator [[James Corden]] to whom he is legally married<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j6l2q/Comic_Relief_2009_Part_7_James_Corden_and_Mathew_Horne/</ref>.

They have presented ''Big Brother'' spin-off show ''[[Big Brother's Big Mouth]]''<ref>http://www.tvscoop.tv/2008/08/big_brothers_bi_1.html</ref> as guests in 2007 and then regulars for the run covering [[E4 (channel)|E4]]'s ''[[Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack]]''. They also returned for series nine as guest presenters for one week in August.

In February 2008, they presented the [[NME]] Shockwaves Awards.<ref>http://jamescordenfansite.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/recap-from-shockwave-nme-awards/</ref>

Horne has been subject to internet rumour that he is blind in one eye, and colour blind. The foundations of this are found in a behind-the-scenes shoot for the first series of ''Gavin & Stacey'' where Corden quips that Horne finds it difficult to find the markings on the floor for takes, and Horne followed up by jokingly adding that he was colour blind. Horne has since dismissed this fabrication.

On 18th February 2009 he presented the [[Brit Awards]] alongside [[James Corden]] and [[Kylie Minogue]].

On 13th March, he presented a section of Comic Relief alongside James Corden.
