Interesting to see so many of the so-called candidates have allegedly ruled themselves out of the running or at least been very cautious:

Mourinho
O'Neill
Curbishley
Coppell
Wenger
Lippi
ALardArse
 
Seemingly Capello is the only serious candidate that wants the job which isn't a suprise. Like i mentioned earlier we'd be far better giving it to Pearce untill after the Euros and hopefully there will be a few more managers available by then. Scolari would be the one i'd then go for, he's been with Portugal for a while now and was interested last time round, hopefully all that **** hasn't put him off though.
 
One of the plus points for Capello is that he'd be a free transfer. I know you shouldn't pick the manager on the basis of money, but after showering Sven and Mac with money, and failing to qualify for Euro2008 the FA may be feeling the pinch.
 
I dont rate Jose Mourinho at all he only won things because he had the money.


Really? I'm not sure that was the case at FC Porto, when he won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League the following year, on a very average budget.

What a well balanced arguement you gave, good on you.
 
mourinho won a fairly ease league, then came to the premiership to a club who was second, had spent a buttload the season before, to a club that only lost the title because arsenal had an unbeaten season in a very special year. it was also a year with many new signings and its normal for a club with lots of new players to take a while to get things together. he then took over, spent a LOT of money on a bunch of players, and mostly took raineri's squad and buys and took them to the league, which they more than likely would have done that year without him.

when it got tougher, and he ditched players for no apparent reason, became so arrogant he had a go at any player who underperformed, split the dressing room, pushes his boring defensive football and eventually teams started to attack them more and they lost a few games.

he didn't perform miracles, and in the end his arrogance and attitude ended up with him losing a lot of players respect and losing his job.

Mourinho also won the UEFA Cup and Champion's League in two consecutive seasons with Porto but that's not an achievement as he was in an easy league domestically.
 
It's very easy to have a go at Mourinho, but I wouldn't just overlook what he did with Porto. Taking them to the Uefa Cup then the Champions League is probably still his biggest achievement.

Also, for all the money he did have at his disposal at Chelsea, it's worth noting that he very rarely bought established world class stars. So at the very least, he's good at spotting talent.
 
Playing France in March/April I believe. So there is no need to rush the decision and end up with the wrong man.

Like ive said a couple of times i would wait til after the Euro's. With the exception of Capello all the serious candidates have either ruled themself out or are in jobs, after the euros there will be a few more available and if im not mistaken Scolari's contract is up in July.
 
I think they should go with Harry Redknapp and Jamie Redknapp as a assistant england don't need tactical coaching because they got the best players in the world they just need someone that can make decisions and someone that not scared of dropping big player also someone that can motived players and harry is top person for that.
 
but shearer can teach the current generation the classic football move that could help us a lot , its called, "the elbow".

but honestly, it can be used on and off the pitch. imagine, SWP gives away the ball again, shearer calls him over, stands alongside him telling him to not do it again and waving his elbow close to SWP's face(he'd have to bend down a bit), SWP will be scared into playing better.


Crap arguement :p
..because :

Scary-ness rating of Keane > Shearer

Sunderland's Current Position in PL?

If keane cant scare those guys into playing better, what makes you think Alan 'The-Fairy' Shearer can scare the national team into playing better?

Another ignorant short sighted post on football. Do you actually realise where Sunderland were before Keane took over?

And there's more to football than 'scaring' a team to play better rofl

1 : Note I said EPL, the national team is full of EPL players, therefore I dont see what keane did in championship as relevant.

2 : Shearer has no experience, theres more to football than being a good player.

3 : See smiley, it was a lighthearted post, you miserable sod.

harry maybe, jamie no.

harry has done well but it would be a gamble and i think his potential success would be more limited than a jose mourinho et al. i still think he would do well and maybe we need a progressive route.

your argument about not needing tactical coaching is rather odd. that is what they need most as the team has not had a style of play that suits them for many a year. harry would do that i think and would get us scoring and winning. would he get us to beat the teams above us - i am not sure? does it even matter at this dire point though?
 
harry redknapp's managerial style...... buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy and pray that maybe 5 players out of 20 buys are actually good. he spends a LOT of money, he spends well sometimes, he's bought way more overpriced crap players, than underpriced great players. as soon as a manager stops giving him random millions to spend on random players he moves on, even if its to sworn enemies in a very non loyal way.

added to the few times he's got a really competitive team together he still fails to win anything or really do anything. for all the times he's done quite well, he's also taking clubs to relegation a bunch of times, though often rather than being standup and staying with the club, he leaves as soon as the money dries up for players. he wasted 10's of mills at west ham, took them to their worst finish with a pretty crappy squad, got fired, then the team got relegated. he went to pompie, decided to tell them to screw off and went to their arch rivals, then told them to screw off after having most of the season with them and getting them relegated and went back to pompie.

he hasn't won anything, he gives up all to easily, he only seems to enjoy managing when he's spending lots of money, i can't see anything that makes him qualified except "maybe" being the most qualified english manager, that doesn't make him anywhere near the most qualified manager though, at all. hiddink, scolari, capello(maybe, not convinced personally) and again, even though i think mourinho wouldn't win a thing for us, he'd do better than harry.

as for jamie redknapp, possibly the stupidest thing i've ever heard. he's completely hopeless at, everything. he can't get a sentence out, he's a complete and utter idiot, he spent years of his career taking paychecks at clubs his dad ran while not playing at all and somehow never making it back from injury properly, still picking up pay checks. dodgey family thats constantly making very strange deals, changing clubs for no reason, buying in trio's of crap players for lots of money and seemingly way over the odds prices, and being investigated for dodgey dealing quite often. not the person i want in charge of england, either of them.

jamie redknapp, forget the game, but he said " its clearly not a penalty you can see from the replay he got the man first, then the ball.... he got the ball not a penalty" . he couldn't work out why that sentence was wrong, everyone in the studio had that puzzled not sure what to say next, look on their faces. he's incompetant, stupid, has never said something remotely interesting, accurate or helpful while commentating and the nation currently laughs at him weekly for all the crap he says, which he's oblivious to.
 
^^the pair of them are useless,

Lets face it there is no current English manager good enough to do the England job and it looks like we'll have to get a foreigner in, again not maureen we don't need to play the long ball game. The main problem will be the board who decide on who it is, they have already made us a laughing stock and no one has any faith in them.
