if and when capello calls it a day..?

 

other nations do well by giving a previous talisman the job who has little or no experience in club managment..

 

look at the argies with maradonna...they look awesome..

germany did well with klinsmann

etc etc etc..

 

thoughts..?

Not for me,

 

Maradona had to learn on the job and after the initial fiasco (including a 6-1 loss against the might of Bolivia) he is doing well for Argentina because he knows exactly how they should play, he practically dragged the Argies to world cup glory in '86 all by himself. Even now there are still questions defensively over them. The other aspect is the Argies have some of the world's best attacking, creative players within their squad whereas we have nothing near that class.

 

Beckham just wouldn't cut it, and if he was appointed manager he'd be another yes man like McClaren was.

I saw him on the bench shouting at the players and reacting after missed chances and thought the same. Whether he has the tactical nous to be able to mastermind a successful England side though is another matter.

Perhaps he would be good as an Assistant Manager or Coach, because he's been around on the biggest stage for long enough to pick up the most important points of the game.

Beckham is by far the most overrated player in England. There are plenty of better options out there. DB should stick to Calvin Klein.

 

Dont really agree with that, we missed him so far in both games in terms of his leardership and desire and prescence on the pitch

If you saw last nights evidence then that title has clearly passed to Rooney,closely followed by Lumplard and Cole.

Watching last night and just seeing the expressions of those on the sidelines I even wondered if we would not be better off if Crappello was told to f^ck off now and allow Beckham to take on the last game.'Siege mentality' and all that.

 

Longer term I doubt Beckham would want such a role,but it would come as no surprise to me if someone else is in charge for Euro 2012 qualifications.

Rooney is a world class player, yesterday was an exception. Lampard and Cole are better than average usually. Beckham was a good player a couple of years ago, today he is nothing more than mediocre.

IMO, people are exaggerating his ability due to the his name.

 

The annoying thing with Beckham is that people who don´t give a **** about football recognise him, but they have never heard about Messi, Torres, Drogba etc.

Ronaldo is a great example. If you ask me though, he is a much more skilled player than Beckham has ever been. I have nothing against Ronaldo mainly because he deserves the money/attention and he is only 25.

Don´t you think the clubs uses Beckham more as a commercial than as a player? Galaxy for instance could bring several better players with the amount of money they paid him.

 

Look at the other players honours in Englands squad. Lampard, Gerrard, Cole and Rooney have much more talent imo. If a team in it´s whole suck, then it will affect all of the players. I am sure Rooney would have a better game if the rest played good.

 

Good or bad, in any case todays footballers gets paid way to much. I think we can all agree on that.

I have always maintained that Beckham would make a dreadful manager. Always. I just didn't think he'd possess the qualities or tactical nous to be a manager.

 

BUT (!)

 

After seeing him looking all dapper on the sidelines, kicking every ball and encouraging the side I've had a change. It was weird... me and me friend were sitting there watching the game and he turned to me and said "what about Beckham as a manager?"... now, I at that time I was thinking exactly the same thing.

 

For some reason I believe it could work. How? Well, if he surrounded himself with top quality, knowledgable coaches then Becks presence enough should be enough to inspire anyone to play for their country. I've no doubt that if you got rid of many of the cloggers, the old guard and brought in young players who looked up to Beckham, who idolised him then he could infact do very, very well.

 

Of course for every good appointment of an idol at national level (Klinsmann) there is a bad one (Stoichkov, Bulgaria and so forth) but with Beckham, I think it might ust work.

 

He certainly possesses the passion for the country and I don't think you'd see any of his sides labour or wilt.

Imagine being able to throw Beckham and Crouch on together? One person who CAN put a ball on someone's head.....

 

Beckham for manager yes, but as mentioned, probably 2018, not before IMO

 

Spot on there Stevo about Beckham... if he was there, jeez.... all we needed is one good delivery something that he time and again provides. Such a shame... :-(

IMO it could be a Keegan situation all over again, not only that he would need to cut his teeth at club level first.

 

why though...we seemed to be set with our minds that we must have a great club manager to do the England job..

 

klinsmann, maradona, van basten, dunga etc etc...what real club experience do they have..?

 

we have a bloke in charge now that has won everything...won these things in different countries...and still, it appears nothing has changed..?

Maybe he could come in as an assistant to Roy Hodgson?

 

 

 

Maybe
