Next England Manager

[Corky]

I cannot actually believe that Glenn Hoddle is a serious suggestion to be the manager at this moment. People must be taking the piss.

[foxholecharlie]

No way the FA will pick Southgate......I am right aren't I, please say yes.

 

Safe hands Manuel Pelligrini.

 

Taking a chance Alan Shearer 

[Tielemans63]

We need a straight talker. Someone who will stand up to the FA and who has the balls to pick players based on form and not on tenuous past glories, misplaced loyalty or whether the player is sponsored by Nivea.

No doubt they'll either go with someone well past their prime or someone who is nowhere near qualified enough. See the last 20 years for details.

Actually, thinking about the pattern since Venables left, we're due a hopelessly inexperienced manager according to the FA managerial cycle so Southgate will probably get it.

Venables and Robson have been the two best England managers in my lifetime.

Simple reason..the players respected them.

Not fake respect or respect to tell the media.

Real respect.

They'd have the same for Allardyce I think.

[BlueTillIDie]

Try and get Eddie Howe if not why not Southgate he cannot do any worse than the clowns we have had over recent years.

 

After seeing Shearer on Match of the Day show so much passion for the job i do think we need an Englishman with fire in his belly, not saying give him the job but maybe as a coach? Who knows would just be good to see our team with some fight and if we do lose go down fighting not just pathetically roll over and trudge off home.

It will end up being Southgate and you'll have to suffer through the whole ordeal again unfortunately. Some England fans genuinely believe they're in the same bracket as Italy, Germany and Spain which is bizarre, looking from the outside I personally don't see them as any better than Sweden, Switzerland and Austria. The whole FA is as messed up as FIFA, f***ing dinosaurs set in their ways and it'll never change. Apart from Vardy (being biased) the whole team is so unlikeable too, Rooney, Wilshere, Ali, Kane, Sterling, Lallana, Hart, Walker all just seem like a bunch of arrogant melon heads! Although I don't know them personally, just my opinion

It's like...

A) they've never listened to his clueless punditry.

And

B) They have forgotten why he was sacked the first time round.

[HankMarvin]

FA willing to wait to appoint Roy Hodgson's permanent successor, want the opinions of Gary Lineker and others and are eyeing Arsene Wenger and Claudio Ranieri

They plan to sound out Arsenal boss Wenger, but Mirror Sport understands the Frenchman's No1 priority is to get a new contract at the Emirates. His current £8million-a-year deal is due to expire next summer.

Leicester's Ranieri is also on their short-list, but again the Italian is expected to sign a new deal with his current employers. The champions' owner want to reward him after delivering last season's surprise Premier League title triumph.

[Buzzell]

Eddie Howe or Big Sam for me.

[Dan]

If it's English I'd genuinely go Allardyce.

[Donut]

At least Allardyce has a few things in his favour:

 

Managed big players

Gets teams very organised and tactically set up with a distinct gameplan

Puts a priority on fitness and wouldnt gamble on unfit players

Can play a pragmatic style when its needed

 

 

I mean, could you honestly imagine Southgate trying to get the best out of the country's best players? It just simply wouldnt happen.

[Dan]

Yep. He won't take any shit either. He'll have a proper gameplan as well. It wouldn't be pretty but I'd back him to turn in a better tournament showing than anything recent.

FA chief hints at Southgate as possible interim England manager

http://www.thescore.com/news/1051459

Add women to the list....anyone know of any women who could take the job? Jill ellis? Silvia Neid? Imagine that!

[Donut]

Youd presume the FA must have someone in mind considering

 

a) Hodgsons contract was up for renewal anyway and he wasnt likely to get another considering his performance as manager. Unless he did something stupid like win the tournament which was never going to happen

 

b) They already let a few candidates go into club jobs. Surely they have sounded them out first rather than let them sign big deals with clubs that have to be broken

 

 

Actually nah fvck it, no one has a clue.

[Donut]

The manager IMO needs to be either:

 

A) A recent, but successful player who has won some significant club honours. Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues etc, who is still close to the current crop of players, but is also studious and a "football man"

 

OR

 

B) A manager who brings a proper track record with him. Someone who has managed big players, who can handle big players, and who big players know that he brings ideas worth listening to.

 

If you get a manager like Eddie Howe show up, id have no confidence his career would suggest if he came up against Conte, Del Bosque, Low in an international scenario, not a club one, that he could inspire a winning team. I dont think anyone would listen to him.

 

Same goes for Southgate. He was a good, but no disrespect "journeyman" centre back. I dont think hed get any ideas over.

 

Youve seen when a manager like Moyes tries to manage big players without having the cv to back it up, it just doesnt happen for many managers.

[Jattdogg]

The true geordie? He would definitely be confrontational and deal with personalities .

I have a nervous feeling southgate will get the gig temporarily which will turn permanent...scary thought..

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Personally I'd try to get Slaven Bilic but I doubt he'd leave West Ham

[Babylon]

If it's English you want, then it's got to be Sam. He might not have that experience at international or European level, but he has almost always got the best out of what he has been given.

 

As I've said before, we need to accept we are currently lagging well behind most nations of a similar (and even smaller size) and play as such. Stop thinking "we're England, we'll beat them", stop trying to pass it like Spain, or as technical as Germany when it's not what we are good at. Acceptance of how shit we are needs to come before we can move forward... Hodgson won't admit it, he thinks he's done a good job.

 

Are the players as brainwashed as him? All I can see is a culture of no accountability. Managed badly? Don't worry, we'll give you another two years. Not played all season, or out of form? Don't worry you'll still get picked.

 

Do any of them other than a few fringe players actually fear for their place, do they actually care? They might say they do but I don't see it. Certainly not in a fight for every ball because your life depends on it way.

[foxfanazer]

Is the England job much of a draw anymore? Southgate will 100% get it and the cycle continues

[Trav Le Bleu]

If we get big Sam, at least we won't get relegated.

[AKCJ]

I have no problem with giving it to Southgate in terms of continuity (knows the set up etc) but we need to get someone in this year.

[Dan]

Potential stupid question here - if it was Southgate interim, the bookies would pay out on Southgate right?

[enmac]

How about Diego Maradona with di Canio as his number 2?

Imagine the post match interviews!

England will never win anything, so why not just have some fun?.

Good question, I imagine they would but I imagine they'd honour other bets too. Dunno really...  @ScouseFox will know better.
