Title: Re: next england manager Post by: TightEnd on November 21, 2007, 10:40:20 PM NOT
Sam Allardyce YES Martin O'Neill Scolari Hiddink etc It will be Allardyce Title: Re: next england manager Post by: kinboshi on November 21, 2007, 10:41:27 PM What's the difference between England and Lewis Hamilton?
Lewis will still have a McClaren in the morning. Title: Re: next england manager Post by: Graham C on November 21, 2007, 10:43:16 PM That's just been on 5 Live Kin, shame on you.
I think Allardyce has missed out now. If he was going to get it it was before McLaren, plus he hasn't exactly worked wonders at Newcastle. Not sure who'd do a good job to be honest. Get Shearer in the role, he's full of passion at least. Title: Re: next england manager Post by: kinboshi on November 21, 2007, 10:44:09 PM That's just been on 5 Live Kin, shame on you.

Title: Re: next england manager Post by: Longy on November 21, 2007, 10:45:48 PM English/ Foreign i don't care, just getting the best man for the job.
I don't think there is a suitable English candidate out there, but then again that was the case 2 years ago. There of course are manager who you would love to see do it but almost certainly won't do it, Jose Mourinho being an obvious example. My choice would be Martin O'Neill who would take it, he certainly was keen two years back and the FA have to stop picking people who won't voice their opinions and pick the best candidate. I would have nothing against a top foreign manager taking it Hiddink/ Scolari etc. Just please not another sub standard yes man, one time.

My choice (out of every manager in the world) would be Wenger, then Mourinho, then Hiddink, the Capello and finally Lippi. I do not want to see the next manager in charge of England who isn't in the list above. Sad that there isn't an Englishman there, but who cares? When FIFA make it a rule that the national coach has to be from the nation he manages (maybe in a 50 years time) then the best man for the job should always be considered - regardless of nationality. Scholari would maybe be a good choice, but he turned us down already.

I would certainly whip those lazy overpaid, underperforming prima donnas into shape ... no effing about, I would expect players to sweat blood while wearing the shirt... NO, I WOULD DEMAND IT. ALSO NO player would be paid to play for England, if pride at representing their country isnt enough, fuck them, i would pick someone who wants, desires and is DESPERATE to represent their country. Title: Re: next england manager Post by: Karabiner on November 24, 2007, 01:13:31 AM I'm surprised that Steve Coppell is such a big price(33/1) as he seems to tick all of the relevant boxes.
He played for England, he's an English premiership manager who's teams play, or attempt to play good football. And he has achieved far more in the game than his immediate predecessor. Lump on would be my advice, in the absence of too many better candidates... Title: Re: next england manager Post by: redsimon on November 24, 2007, 06:50:13 AM [[/quote]

McClaren has failed but its way too short sighted (though probably more comforting) to heap it all on him. Over 50% of the goals conceded in that campaign were as a result of absolute shocking errors by individuals. Okay so he has power to remove them from the team (which he did with Robinson) but I personally can't hold managers responsible for players who are compotent acting like they are not. When you look at the team that played on Wednesday half (literally) the players who played for us can't get in their clubs first eleven on a regular basis, which simply shows they aren't good enough. Capello most likely i would guess. Hands off Shearer. Get your own hero and saviour!!

They can and they should wait. The end of major championships is when managers' contracts run out and they become available. So Engalnd may have a wider choice - there's no rush as World Cup Qualifying doesn't start till September. Hands off Shearer. Get your own hero and saviour!! I have been bemused by any 'Shearer for England' talk. Here is a man who has no managerial experience at all, and shows a shocking lack of insight in his TV summarising. He'd be a disaster. |
