Matt Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 Former England football star Gary Lineker has said that Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger is the best man for the England managerial position.The Football Association have reportedly offered the job to Portugese national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, but Lineker doesn't think that the former Brazillian manager is the right man for the job. Lineker said: "Scolari has got a very good record - but that was with Brazil and Ronaldinho, so well done there - and I am surprised because he has got no connection with English football whatsoever. "It would take him probably three or four years to come to terms with the style of our play, the frenetic nature of the English game, who the individuals are. "He comes from even further away than Sven does in terms of knowing our players. It would be a big ask for him. "If the FA's criteria was 'Let's get the best man from wherever he comes from', well you just knock Arsène Wenger's door down until he answers it." WTF is Gary on about? Why would Wenger take over as England manager? He couldn't play any French players could he? I'm gonna put Gary's comments down to stress in his private life.

Libertine Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 Wenger actually said that he'd take the job if in a few years time it was available. Can't see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 1 May 2006 Author Share Posted 1 May 2006 Wenger actually said that he'd take the job if in a few years time it was available. Can't see it though. Is he hoping some French born players have English parents then come through the ranks or something then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 well the FA said they want the best man for the job so they should have at least enquired about Wenger HOWEVER with Arsenal Chairman David Dein on the selection panel he is surely going to protect his own interests!! you have to ask is it correct that a chairman of a Premiership team should be on the selecction panel? I think something is very very wrong with that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 I think the point he was making was if The FA want the best man for the job no matter what, then Arsene Wenger is that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandannieldanok Posted 1 May 2006 Share Posted 1 May 2006 Wenger is a top-quality coach cos he has made Arsenal a great team without spending much money at all even though it is always avaliable. Just because he does not use many english players at arsenal should not hinder his chances. He is better than Allardyce and McLaren who should apply the next time the job is avaliable.

It won't matter then. Mark Hughes will come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
