Tom Halsey
International Coach
They should give 100%, but the fact that they don't is making a lot of fans (including me) value club football higher than international football. Afterall, following your club is week-in-week-out, whereas you have the odd international game here and there. And clubs (and by extension, fans) pay the wages.

So you think he will stay?

Seconded.

Not saying I'm an expert, but considering he is Northern Irish, wouldn't he rather top himself then coach England?
There is an Italian World Cup winning coach that is free if you want him.

It could be the first step of reverse-colonialisation.

It's entirely dependent on money for me. If Real ask for much more than £5m I'd say it's probably no-go.
O'Neill was actually interviewed for the job so I'd say that's fairly strong evidence he'd probably manage us ahead of the self-immolation option.
The fact that the FA F-wits found McClaren more impressive says more about their acumen than I ever could.

Hiddink should've been given the job as soon as they knew he was available.

I fear it was an appointment to appease the media rather than to get a decent manager.

That I agree with.
I mean he would shock horror would have had England practising penalties, making them train hard during the hot weather to improve their fitness etc. if he were in charge for England in the World Cup and if he were given the England gig, he would have them doing the same thing if you guys qualified for Euro 2008.
Surely for football's sake England don't deserve and shouldn't qualify for Austria and Switzerland in 15 or so months time.

Thought he was signed for the Russians fairly early doors tho? Don't get me wrong tho, he was my preferred choice all the way along.

The Northern Irish are the ones who wanted to stay a part of Britain, so they probably wouldn't be all that fussed.

O'Neill's an Ulster Catholic, so it's debateable.

He took that job after he was asked for an interview, which was fairly early, but certainly before the World Cup etc.

You know, I think God's got more important people to help than a bunch of overpaid nancy boys who cbf doing their jobs properly. Like people living in poverty, or who have AIDs or cancer. That sort of thing.
