blonde poker forum

Couldnt be bothered changing to another forum so thought i would just ask here. We keep hearing that the FA have 'concerns' about having allardyce as next England manager. Am I missing something completely obvious, but what are these concerns??

That there hasn't been a properly successful English manager since Wilkinson?

give us stuart pearce and some good technical staff. we need some passion.

pearce assistant coach at most
Big Sam, nice fella, who wants to watch England grind out 1-0 games though
McLaren deserves a shot for me

Im pretty sure im not the only one that would take winning every competitive game 1 nil if it meant we won the world cup.... look at englands rugby team, when we won the world cup we hardly played sincilating rugby, jst used our forward strength and let sir  jonny knock over the goals...

Allardyce will be a MASSIVE flop.

What like  As  Ah  Ad ?

my post isnt meant to imply that i think big sam should get the job. Personally, id like to see Curbs have a bash see what he can do.

So you're not concerned about this then  :D

personally i'd give it peter taylor, did an amazing job with most of the current crop in his first stint as U21 boss before being abruptly repolaced for no reason after 20 games unbeaten, he made Becks captain in his 1 senior game in charge too. and is working wonders with the U21's again now.

although big sam would be good as he has the will and the passion,dont think curbs would do well though IMO

all very good, but what are the specific issues with big Sam? Just the way all the papers are reporting it, its as if there is an issue with him, and not his quality as a manager!!

The issue is lack of comedy value, Sven we do the silly swedish voice and basil fawltey gangly thing, old Tel we do the gangster linked old blue eyes thing. Hoddle well.... comedy gold mine.

Big Sam?

His name is even bad to ryhme stuff with, half the tabloids can't even spell allerdyce/allrdice/allerdyce.

If i was writing the back pages i would be upset.
Have to pick on Beckham again.

The issues with Big Sam are 1) his childish spat with Alan Green, and refusing to talk to Radio Five. Dealing with the media is a huge part of the England manager's job - spitting his dummy out over perceived sleights against him won't win him brownie points and 2) the sneaking suspicion that he's a manager who relies on work-rate because he has a lack of creativity.

Remember the last World Cup when Brazil went 2-1 up against us? Sven's total lack of ability to change his strategy (essentially there was no Plan B) cost us. The FA want to try and get someone who will be able to come up with a Plan B if things go wrong - rather than just shout at his players to 'run about more'.

Oh ffs no, this is a disgraceful thought

He ruined my club

He is crap at Hull

Fortunately this will not happen


Going to lie down

Played next to a West Ham player this week

Said they got thrashed at Bolton

"they are really diffcult to play against because they are big, strong and organised"

what do you think of Big Sam

" fine with that type of club constantly over-achieving but hasn't got the tactical variations or detailed knowledge necessary to be a top manager at international level"

Ha Ha  8)

Your having a Girraffe right mate?

More chance of Scotland winning the WC before England win it a 2nd time. ;scarymoment;

Big Sam aint even nearly coped with European football. He's never won a trophy. He doesn't have a team that plays good football.

Whilst that last point might seem irrelevant if we are "getting results" I would rather not see Lampard and Gerrard removed from the game because of his long ball tactics.

IMO we must go foreign.

re Sam

I really don't think it's a good idea to give the England job to a man who looks like he's going to have a heart attack if he loses a drop-ball.

We might as well give the job to Peter Reid. Better still, how about Mike Bassett?

Has to be Curbishly for me. At least he has English players in his team.

Bugger, i agree with a V* * * a fan..............

lol

Personally I don't give a monkeys as longa s Engalnd get beat 8) :D

But I I where appointing a manager I think you need someone with passion, but who also has the tactical know how to win and change games.  Engalnd need to go for some one who is fearless and wont be bothered by players sulking.

There is one guy who is a stand out but doesn't have enough experience IMO and that is Stuart Pearse.

Pearse should be brought into the coaching set-up alongside a seasoned campaigner like Harry Redknapp.  Foreign managers don't always produce success look at Sven he has hardly been outstanding.

If Wegner wins the Champions LEague I reckon you should go for him!!!

Also as a total outside bet what about Terry Butcher?

LOL..... rotflmfao rotflmfao

Harry Redknapp??? doing wonders at Southampton then Portsmouth

TerryButcher????...fantastic at Motherwell known for his purist football

Berti Vogts......etc etc


Behave!!!!

My vote goes to Alain Perrin

With Harry Redknapp you have to look beyone what he has done with Southampton and Pompey IMO.  With Southampton that was a hard job for anyone, he done well with pomey in his first stint with the resources he had and I bet he will keep them up.

Terry Butcher IMO has done a cracking job at Motherwell, under very difficult circumatnces and they play neat,, attractive flowing football.

How many times you seen well play tighty?

several times on tv only. Of course not in person.

agreed, not bad

but England manager? eek

He was a great captain.  And he had success as a player.  And he wouldn't puddy foota round with numpties like Beckham.  I am sure he would make sure that there was a left winger in the squad and that the defence was organised.

I was suprised Butcher wasn't named Rangers manager but David Murray was running scared after his last appointment from a Scottish club.  I reckon Le Guen will flop and Butcher will be at Ibrox within 18 months and then he'll be a serious contender for England for no other reason that he's been at a "big club"  I use the term loosley! 8)

I don't agree with going foreign.

Becoming the national coach should be an honour and not just a pay-day.

Employ as many dago advisers as you wish, but I feel your top honcho should be homegrown.

You needn't worry. Obviously these puns take around 6 months to write, however they have people working on them just now.

They write in a similar way to obituray authors, they'll be all ready for any contingency, whoever gets the job.



Surely there must be World Cups worth of Casablanca, "Play it again Sam" material somewhere.

Reckon they should just offer the job as a prize in the national lottery. ;tk;

I don't like having foreign managers either.

If England lift the trophy, then it's Enlgand winning with a little help from a Swede.

A manager is as much a part of the team as the players, so why don't we just stick Ronaldinho in there too.

Imagine Arsenal winning the European Cup without an Englishman in the side. Disgraceful. Don't tell Arsenal fans that though.

Or even worse Liverpool doing it with a load of Spaniards - do I look bothered?


Now imagine Portugal had beaten Greece in the last Euro Championships.... Horrendous with a Brazilian coach, although no one in Portugal would have cared.

sams the man , we dont want no donkey like butcher ,
 you scotts dont know anything about football
you only play sunday league sides there anyhow

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

of course in his playing days Sam Allardyce was a centre half of finesse and timing, known for inch perfect 60 yard cross field passes and was often compared to Puskas in his skills, Bobby Moore in his reading of the game and Des Walker with his pace

His Bolton side shows the same attributes and completely overshadows Butcher's minimal football achievements.

What?  Are you crazy?  Ahead of the silky skills and lethal finishing of Peter Crouch?
