The Manager's gone, Long live the Manager

According to The BBC

And apparently
Fabio Capelli is keen on the challenge.

I really don't have a fukcing clue who should be the manager. I appreciate what people have said about the necessity of an English manager for an English team- but who?
I think the FA's mistake was not taking Curbs before his spirit got broken at West Ham, which it has been IMHO

I have lost total interest. Over hyped(the newspapers have to take some blame for that). I think we need to recognise that we are nothing special as a footballing nation. I think we should do what the French did many moons ago. Bring all the promising youngsters together and give them experience and see where that goes. Dont put pressure on them.

No surprise he has been sacked.

I would also sack Barwick for incompetence and sack 90,000 supporters for stupidity.

Not a single one of those players should ever be given an England shirt to wear again.

As I said last night after a few beers, and as I still say today in the cold light of day, the police should be bringing charges against all of them for treason.

TWO BILLION QUID that cost the economy last night!

Nipped into Willy Hills at lunchtime. These are the odds you can get on those touted for the job:-

6/4 Mourinho, O'Neill

11/2 Cappello

16 Scholari, Shearer

20 - Curbishley, Redknapp, Lippi

25 Allardyce, Coppell, Jol, Klinsmann, Hiddink, Pearce

33 Wenger

40 Bruce, Jewell

Eriksson wasn't listed, but I'd heard on the radio that you could get odds of 100/1 on him returning to the hot seat. This price was BEFORE McClaren's sacking.

Scholari looks a good dapple.

I doubt Big Phil would do it after the little taster of the English press he got last time. He's lucky- most prospective managers don't have any idea how bad it gets before it actually happens and they're in the job. He got to try before he bought and, unsurprisingly left the shop empty handed (to carry the metaphor to its illogical conclusion)

Wonder what odds you would get for Martin Jol??? Well if Shearer is in their...... Laughing

Mourinho would be ideal but i doubt the FA could afford him after Erikssons and Mclarens handshake.

Personally I think Redknapp is worth a shout, he's the best of the English Managers. Sadly his alleged love of brown envelopes may rule him out, although the FA did sanction Venables' return. As for Shearer, he would be the worst possible choice. The more experienced coach he'd need alongside him may as well get the nod ahead of him. I think Venables' is likely to become the Republic boss now and McClaren could well end up managing Birmingham City when Bruce leaves.

Who cares who we get in? It wont change a thing, we'll still be stuck with the same set of players who don't give a f**k and see turning out for the national side as an extra payday, as opposed to something their proud to do.

I think we need someone who'll really put a rocket up the ar*e of the players. The last few managers have all been wet blankets and it's obvious that the chance to play at major tournaments isn't enough to motivate these players. So Mourinho or Scolari would be the ideal choice...or McEwan?

Seems a number of ex England players are mooting the idea of giving Hoddle another chance.

Probably won't get it but Coppell would be a popular choice IMO.

The Steve Bruce delay all seems a little suspicious.

What, no Neil Redfern? Wink

I personally think that they'll sound out Capello, although of all the 'English' managers that have been listed none of them exactly fill me with optimism.

He also took Russia to an under-strength Israel on Saturday and failed to 'mastermind' a result!

Two candidates for me;
Jose - won't take it
Redknapp - will take it.

Fully expect it to be Harry Redknapp and sooner rather than later.

I think Capello will get the job, and to be honest we will probably achieve what we did under Sven. He will qualify us easily, playing safe football. However this wont bring the best out of our players and when the chips are down we will be outplayed by technically better teams. Probably the old quarter finals thing for us.

Klinnsman & Capello are interested Mourinios not. Scholari & Hiddink are already working.
Allardyce & Coppell have already ruled themselves out.
Hughes has already tried International management.
Sanchez, Bruce, Jewell, Keane no chance.
The FA would like to chase Martin O'Neill but he will laugh in Barwicks face.

If we were to pick an English manager then a crack with Harry Rednapp. I really don't mind the bloke but he did f**k S'ton about and if he got it I would be happy for him although he always looks if he is due a heart attack now a days but ....
Would we qualify ... probably,
Would we win something ... probably not.
Would we play passing footy and wear our hearts on our sleeves ... definately.
He is like Keegan, only with a knowledge of tactics.

My feeling is still with Capello
