Middlesbrough's threat to Newcastle United's push for Martin O'Neill is gathering pace.
The Guardian says disturbing to Newcastle is the prospect, raised locally at the weekend, that Middlesbrough would approach O'Neill should Steve McClaren be the FA's choice for the England job.
O'Neill is known to have met Middlesbrough's chairman Steve Gibson recently at a social gathering and Gibson's admiration for O'Neill's work at Leicester City and Celtic would be understandable.
