Harry Redknapp for England manager? No thanks, he will be ****, he can't sign 40 players and hope that theres 11 good ones in the bunch. Never mind creaming all the bonuses off them and hiding them in an offshore bank account named after his dog, and avoid paying tax on it. Just sayin'....

 

Stuart Pearce. Or Martin O'Neill if he hadn't just been appointed at Sunderland.

The FA have shown themselves to be utter morons here, totally undermining the guy who actually manages the team. Did they even consult with him prior to removing Terry as captain? Probably not.

 

Capellos outburst was fair, and I'm sure if this was a club and the chairman had made such a change the manager wouldn't have been too happy about it.

 

This is opened the door for Redkanpp f'sure, seriously close to the Euros though. Not that I expected us to do anything in them this year.

Stuart Pearce? Christ god, please no.

 

After seeing the toss he put together in the U21 championships last year I wouldn't want him anywhere near the senior side.

^ This.

 

Mourinho would be great. Second choice for me would be O'Neill. Third choice Hodgson. Hiddink is also a good shout.

 

Saggy Chops it is then. :(

england have mostly been rubbish as long as anyone can remember.

 

I would save £6m a year, and give it on a part time basis to pretty much anybody with a half decent CV.Southgate would do.

 

or Lawrie.

 

or warnock.

 

or whoever.

 

We would all pick pretty much the same players, and english players love 4-4-2.

 

easy and cheap, and no more likely to fail than sven or fabios "systems".

well please do provide us with the magic formula that has evaded the last dozen england managers, that will get us winning trophies.

 

And when you have done this, I would copy the FA in.

perhaps the reasoning in my post was too sophisticated for you.

 

Lets try again.

It doesn't matter who the manager is,england don't succeed in big tournaments.

Feel sorry for him as he had done okay. At least we qualified for the tournaments. Which we didn't do under the last English manager.

 

While I dislike Terry with a passion I do think the FA have totally ****ed this one up. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? It should be down to the manager to choose the captain not the FA. Politics should not be involved.

 

It doesn't help when total mongs like Ian Wright keep banging on about it and saying he is a racist and thus shouldn't be picked. Like listening to him on the radio he said something like "It's a shame because the bigger picture will now get swept under the carpet, we should be talking about how to beat racism, that is where the energy should be".

 

The good thing about it is we will now get a chance to see Redknapp given the chance so many keep mentioning he deserves. If he does well then great. If not then at least that one finally get's killed.

 

But the problem is as Lampard pointed out. Players have everything too soon. They have flash cars without actually being apart of the team, they no longer have to do the crap jobs like clean the boots etc. They can't be punished like they used to unless it is 110% legal. A lot of players are total ****ers. Very few of them look like they will give their all, will die to wear the shirt. People like Scott Parker are what players should be like. The fact most are ****s means the public don't care about them. There is nothing to identify with them. Some look like they don't even want to be there. So why should the public care?

 

Personally I don't think it matters who the manager is because the players have far more power then they do. And now by the looks of it the FA can also choose the team.

 

Would rather watch Saints play and now look at the international breaks as something to despise. Could not giving a flying **** if we beat some minnow team from somewhere that used to be USSR.

Southgate is a poor manager, he is currently in a job where 90% of his work has been done by others and is spoon fed to him. He has one of the best jobs in football, a fantastic budget and resources yet his results just purely rely on SGP.

 

I have sat in lectures given by Southgate and he isn't succeeding at grassroots level let alone managing 15 pre madonnas.

So let's just throw any old sod in at the job. Your post wasn't sophisticated just ridiculous apart from the 442 point.

Hardly matters, the big problem with the England team is most of our best players weren't good enough 6 years ago during their prime, and now they are on the way down.

 

England needs a manager willing to build a new side. Unfortunately, any manager that dares put the old horses out to pasture, would be hounded out by the players and the press.

If Redknapp does get the England job, hopefully he will do the right thing and appoint Scott Parker as England captain.

 

How he has managed to accumulate a pathetic 10 caps throughout his career is beyond me. I know he had a lean spell when at Chelsea but ever since he joined Newcastle and then West Ham he has been one of the best players in the Premier League for ages.

Not to win trophies, but MAGIC formula to improve -

 

1) Don't play Gerrard and Lampard together

2) Stop recalling Beckham for marketing purposes

3) Don't play people out of position

4) Don't revert to hasbeens when the tournaments come round, cough cough carragher!

5) Don't pick people out of form who clearly aren't going to magically turn it on for a tournament, Green, Terry, Upson

6) Don't play people who are clearly unfit, Barry, Rooney, King

7) Don't play a keeper who will more than likely made a costly error, Green, Carson

8) Don't waste squad places on players you have no intention of playing, Jenas, Walcott, Carrick

9) Don't leave your best players at home! Walcott, LE TISSIER, Defoe, the list goes on.

10) Don't hand out caps to everyone and anyone in pointless friendlies that teach us nothing

 

Nothing groundbreaking, not pretending I'm clever for knowing any of it, just bewildering at how ridiculous the decisions of recent managers have been, and how depressing it is they get away with the excuses simply because 'it's England and they don't win games anyway'. We even get people trotting out win ratios etc. Sorry, but they damn well should qualify, and that's where most the wins come. The only place to judge managers is in tournaments. If they're suggesting it'll be tough to qualify, perhaps don't accept 6 million quid a year. Even McLaren, however rubbish, failed largely due to a Carson clanger. If that happened for Sven against Greece rather than Beckham's free kick, it's a different story. Very fine lines but all we're really interested in is tournament form, and it's been embarrassingly obvious cliches of mistakes each time.

 

If we have a manager showing some sense for once, a motivated team and come back from a tournament saying they've done as well as they can, well THEN, and ONLY then can we say they aren't good enough.

 

Amen to that

On this point I think it's worth pointing out that it's very similar to having a serious allegation made against you at work, resulting in your being suspended pending an investigation. There is no judgement passed and no sanction, however if the allegation is serious enough then the employer is well within their rights to take this action because of the potential ramifications. It also allows the investigation to continue without hindrance, reduces distraction in the workplace, and reduces the risk of the individual being treated differently or unfairly pending the outcome.

 

Now, I know this isn't strictly the same because it is not the employer taking the action, but I think there are enough similarities to warrant the comparison and, ultimately, think the FA did the right thing. If Fabio disagreed he should've spoken to the FA privately and directly, not through the press.

Unless you limit the number of foreign players in English football,then you might as well do just that...

Lol at everyone with a real hatred of 'arry, yes I dispise the bloke not really for our relegation as Lowes lack if any ambition made that more or less inevitable but because he walked straight back to the skates !!

 

He is clearly the best man for the job, will inspire and is hopefully a man that will stand up to the FA's obvious insistance to play the old guard, england needs change and it is refreshing to hear him speak so often about bringing the youth through.

 

Apart from mourinho, who in a way would be good but can you just imagine his press conferences ? Who else is there ? I for one hope its redknapp, and yes I will have to put personal vitriol aside
