England could also do like the RFU and ECB have done in the past. Get a group of players together and build the team round them over a few years. Set a target of doing well in 2 or 4 years time.
 
Hiddink would be a great choice, but I think this round is going to Harry Redknapp. Jose probably want to go back to club football and I'm not sure if stuart pearce is ready yet.
 
Can we have the question as

Who should be England manager for Euro 2012?

Fabio Capello
Harry Redknapp
Roy Hodgson
Jose Mourinho
Martin O’Neill
Arsene Wenger
Alan Pardew
Rafa Benitez
Guus Hiddink
Stuart Pearce
Mark Hughes
Carlo Ancelotti
Sam Allardyce
Steve Bruce

Need to include Steve Kean for his magnificent management performance in the last 12 months.
 
It should be a part time job anyway. I don't see any reason why someone can't be manager of Spurs and look after the england team as well. No one turns up for friendlies anyway.
Instead of giving one man 6M a year they can give him £3m and pay a few million to the club they are loaning a manager from.
 
Pearce. Done well with u21s, could do both jobs as long as they didnt clash fixture wise, would work from u21 to senior and have a nice blend in system

Respected by players, English, passion etc

Pearce.
 
I think hr would reject the job tbh does he need the stress at his age with England
Another crack at the cl next season with a few top strikers in the team
he could win a prem tittle we are not far from it
 
Complete bukake session over Redknapp in the media today. Even the BBC, who you'd notmally expect to stay out of that kind of thing, have been leading with "REDKNAPP FOR ENGLAND - [insert name here]" and "CAPELLO SO RONERY :(", and I can't help but feel that the FA is probably stoking this. You'd have thought that they'd learnt their lesson after Scolari told them to do one before, but oh no.

It does seem to hint that they're sizing up the option of giving Capello the boot, and getting 'Arry in, even if it's only part-time until the end of the season. Desperate business.


I see what you've done there.

You can do although I said 6-10 names, not 6+10 names. :p I'm not convinced that many of them would want the job even if it was offered but for what it's worth they're all in there.

Need to include Steve Kean for his magnificent management performance in the last 12 months.

I reckoned this was probably in the joke category but I've added it anyway.

If I was to pick the person I thought had the best chance with England it would be Guus Hiddink for the reasons above but that's a different answer to who I think will get it, I'd suspect that's (definitely not dodgy, it was proved in a court of law) 'Arry.
 
Voted for 'Arry though it doesn't matter that much. Whoever it is, them media will immediately go to work on him!

Actually- There was no Stuart Pearce when I looked at the poll, I might change to him.
 
I'd rather see Jose Mourinho in the Premier League than have him waste his talent on the England squad.

I think Stuart Pearce would be a good choice, lets face we are not going to win anything but at least he'll instill some bulldog spirit and perhaps give some youngsters a chance instead of the same old tired faces.
 
People voting for Pearce are messing around, right?

I voted for Capello, there's no good going to come from changing manager before the Euros.
 
I just love how the manager has been blamed with the last 3 managers.

Surely, it's not ALL Eriksson, McLaren and Capello's fault? At what point are people going to stop and think that maybe, the players are to blame? Doesn't matter which manager we get in next, he will somehow be to blame for us failing in the next tournament.

It's the same every time.

Each three managers picked the same team the average Sun reader would pick, as in, picked the popular players from the top 3-4 clubs even when those players are worthless and jamming them all into a system that doesn't work.

We've bought in guys with zero international experience each time and they've all made the same mistakes, why can't it be the managers.

I mean what drastic changes have any of them made to the team? Aside from the change in players due simply to time, retirements and the like, the team looks the same, has overlooked the same type of players, has always insisted on jamming in every creative attacking player together from 3-4 seperate clubs when at club level each of those clubs would NEVER play those guys together for the very reason that you need balance and different types of players.

Lampard and Gerrard, unquestionably every time was a terrible idea, Barry, lol, Johnson, lol, Rio/Ledley at the last cup, lol. One sicknote for the previous 18 months, one sicknote for the previous 18 years. Every other international manager picks the most solid most reliable pair for a competition, practiced for as long as possible before the tournament, with the midfield, fullbacks and gk all used to playing with THAT pair. So what did we do, rely on an unfit player, then building up the tournament practice with another unfit player, and both got injured and we ended up playing an unpracticed partnership.

Suicidal, we need a manager who will, ignore the "average fan", ignore the FA, ignore player popularity, ignore who are deemed the "best players" and build the best TEAM.
