Next England football manager.

I don't know the exact reasons but he's widely considered to be absolutely hopeless by those who closely follow the US.

Haha this just kind of makes me want him even more though.

He mentored a WC winning manager, and has to take some of the credit for Germany winning the WC as his positive style has been kept as the national team philosophy.

Paper ("i") today reckons it's between Wenger and Larry White.

Can actually hear the barrell scraping from here.

Larry White.

Hat off, sir. Solid cross-language pun.

On a sky sports poll, Arry was the most popular choice

Tried to get odds on Guy Butters but they wouldn't quote me anything.

Sam Allardyce is having talks with the FA. It's strange how the only good thing anyone can think of to say about this is that "he couldn't do any worse". As well as not being a particularly sound reason for appointing him, I'm not even sure that he couldn't.

 

[GIMH]

An awful choice. There goes my interest in international football.

 

[Scaly piscine]

God if Fat Sam gets it...

I think it would create a no-lose situation when England play. Just be like oh well we've got Mike Bassett so who cares?

 

[Uppercut]

As hilarious as this would be I don't think he's any worse than average for an international manager. Probably better than over half of those at the Euros. A small improvement on Hodgson.

 

[Furball]

If they're determined to go English I don't really see a better option to be fair.

Plus it might get Sunderland relegated, which is a plus.

 

[GIMH]

It is worse than if Donald Trump was president of the world. Unspeakably awful.

 

[Sportlad]

Anyone think there is the slightest chance of Slavan Bilic taking the role? It's a fool's hope I'm sure!

Correct on both counts there.

Nil.

Maybe under Big Sam England play with some nuts for once. Even if it will be terrible viewing.

It's quite comical what they can make a headline out of. Rio Ferdinand was discussing the next England manager and was asked at the end of the interview if he'd fancy the job. He just said "All day". Pretty much a throw away response from someone who knows he's not a candidate. The headline becomes "Rio Ferdinand wants the England job".

 

[Uppercut]

The worst is when the BBC use quotes as an excuse to write a headline that's a blatant lie. Like 'Steve Bruce 'would win England the World Cup''. Then you click on the story and it's a quote from his ma.

There are times when you take a gamble, and times when you want a safe pair of hands - now is one of the latter - never thought I'd say it but I think Allardyce is the man
