The man who brought these players to the Riverside was McClaren, who admitted he had an amazing five years on Teesside after being sold on Steve Gibson’s vision.
“The goal was to win a trophy, we’d done that, I just felt the next season I needed more firepower and a bigger squad,” McClaren said.
“We wanted to go further into cups, do well in the league and not just make
Kenny Jackett arrived at Fratton Park at a strange time.
The club had just won promotion from League Two but manager Paul Cook had walked away to join Wigan Athletic.
Michael Eisner’s purchase of the club from the Pompey Supporters Trust was being completed. The League Two promotion side was breaking up, with key players Enda Stevens and Michael Doyle having already departed.
For the first 18 months, Jackett did
“I want to reach the easy wins,” said Wolves’ executive chairman Nathan Shi at the fans’ forum last month.
He wasn’t talking about Raul Jimenez, but in terms of raising the morale of their supporters, bringing him back is the easiest win imaginable.

A striker turned midfielder, he became a constant presence – part of the 1974–75 promotion side under Gordon Lee, and again influential in the team that rose back to the second tier under Howard Kendall in 1980. A broken leg in 1981 ended his playing days but opened the door to a remarkable
What a year 2025 was for Derby County.
It began with a thumping 4-2 defeat at Hillsborough by Sheffield Wednesday, which included a goal from inside his own half by Josh Windass.

First and foremost, I feel sorry for Tammer Bany. He’s a polite and pleasant lad and this has been a rotten first year in English football for him.
I spoke to him during the club’s pre-season training camp in Austria where he was looking forward to finally making an impression after struggling with minor injuries in his debut campaign in English football.
