Next England Manager

[Neil Pickup]

Can't quite decide who's taking the proverbial more there.

If Mourinho wants it and the FA can find a big enough wheelbarrow to carry the money he'll cost he's the only choice for me.

EDIT: Seems the former is the case anyway. From today's Observer: Mourinho: "Come and get me, England"

Always a little sceptical with these "sources close to" stories, but it does seem very well informed with the bit about his daughter being bullied since they've gone back to Portugal.

It's an absolute no-brainer. Pick up the damn phone, Barwick, and ask him how much.

got to be a foreign coach with decent credentials, end of.

Redknap is probelly the best english club manger in the world but his way is keep chaging the team, but on the internatilanal scale the person i want for the role is Kilinsman who did a very good job the the German team who went that good, so i think he could make england really challange for major toullements again!

 

[Matteh]

As opposed to English club managers not in the world.

 

[Olwe]

yes!!!!

there are some very good mangers out there whcih anyone can name

but redkanpp does do a very good job with his teams ie with west ham and pompy.

 

[sledger]

tbh he lacks the credentials to manage england imo, seeing as he's never won anything of any note, nor done anything of any note, and his sucess has all been based on bringing in players from other countries (which is fine, and I rate him as a boss of a mid table side like portsmouth) which does little to suggest he could be a sucess at this level.

Mourinho will never be England manager for the same reason Clough never was.

Riding the Bertie Vogts for England train. Let's see how you like it.

Drinks too much?

 

[sledger]

baggy green jumper?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Drinks too much?

Someone once described Clough as a man for whom a treble wasn't so much an ambition as a breakfast.

RIP. Legend.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Drinks too much?

Too outspoken. The FA would rather have someone who does what they're told.

Mourinho 'invites England offer'

 

[Matteh]

Apparently Guus Hiddink is in the frame now after contract difficulties at Russia. I say sign him up.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not Harry Redknapp then....

From the BBC: Redknapp arrested for footy corruption.

Odds on Fat Sam getting a full night's sleep tonight....?

Haha yeah, way to rule yourself out.

The man has style. You can't argue with that.

So... who's left who hasn't been ruled out someplace or another? Ian Holloway's just taken over at Leicester, so he'll be out of a job in a week or so. It'd be entertaining if nothing else...

 

[Olwe]

i still wont redknapp as next england manger but he has said he was only arrestred for questions and that is the end!

so my choises are him(redknapp), Benitez (if he gets sacked) or O'Neil (who might consider the job)

 

[sledger]

haha got to say i doubt this is the end, the police have stated "this gentleman is helping us with investigations", which is a standard translation for "we want to charge him but we haven't got the evidence".
