Steve McClaren yesterday, as expected, lost his job as England football manager. It is not our place to go into the rights and wrongs of this decision. One thing we did notice though (as we only we would) is the lack of a tie around McClaren's neck as he addressed the press following his dismissal.
What we find interesting about this is that throughout his tenure as England boss, McClaren always found it appropriate to wear a tie when addressing the media, watching games or attending functions. As soon as he is out of the esteemed post, he dons an open-neck shirt.
Concrete evidence, if ever you needed it, that the necktie is a symbol of power and prestige. McClaren may want to have an instant rethink and we would remind him of the old adage to 'dress for the job you want, not the job you have.'
