Before kick-off, under-pressure Newcastle manager Steve McClaren said about his team's terrible start to the season: "Once the England job went, that has always been my kind of focus and drive. I've done that now. I've joined a club which I've wanted to, even for the last 15 years.

"In some respects, it has been a long journey back and a tough one. But I want to make a success of this football club because it can be big and it can be huge."

Since his success at Middlesbrough, where he led the Teessiders to their first major trophy, the 2004 Carling Cup, and FC Twente, whom he guided to the Dutch title, life has been more difficult for McClaren with his ill-fated spell in charge of the national team particularly bruising.

Asked if he thought he would ever get the chance to manage a club as big as Newcastle, he said: "Don't get me wrong, after England I had dark days and dark moments and dark spells, ups and downs, here, there and everywhere.

"But I always believed, given the opportunity, I wanted to do that. I certainly felt that the experience abroad was great. I thought we would do it with Derby, but it wasn't to be, so this is a great opportunity."
