Massimo Maccarone Blasts Steve McClaren and Gareth Southgate

I once had a job that I hated so much that for months I spent a bit of each work day trying to perfect my scathing resignation letter that would expose my employers for the fools they were. In the end I copped out and never handed in that letter so I am only left to imagine how satisfying it must be to be someone like Massimo Maccarone. He not only has burnt some bridges on the way out the door but he has gone nuclear on his old bosses, Steve McClaren and Gareth Southgate.

Maccarone recently ended his five-year stay with Middlebrough and now that he has found the safety of Seri A club Siena he feels compelled to toss some verbal bombs.

Maccarone is quoted on La Gazzetta dello Sport’s official website as saying: ‘The ‘magnificent’ McClaren is surely the most hypocritical and false person I have had the misfortune of meeting.

‘He disgusted me by leaving me on the bench for the 2004 League Cup final after having told everyone I was his number one and he was counting on me.

‘At the end all he could do was mutter ‘I know, I know’.

‘Only in England can someone with such evident limits become the head of the national team.’

Naturally his agent denies that Maccarone would ever have made such a statement and that he would never disrespect Gareth Southgate either, but anyone who has been a disgruntled employee suddenly freed from the shackles of an unhappy workplace is likely to believe otherwise.
