Poll: Who should be the Next England Manager

[Loki]

Just looking at the current contenders being touted in the rags over the course of the last few weeks.
Current contenders being

• Sam Alardyce
• Alan Curbishley
• Stuart Pearce

Do these people have the necessary calibre to take the England team onto the next level when Sven gets put out to pasture in the Summer. Some players feel that the above three do not have the necessary experience in European or International football to really have the tactical knowledge. However I look at Franz Beckenbauer who led Germany to World cup victory in his first management role. There was that Arrigo Sacchi of AC Milan and lead Italy to the semis in the World cup. So it shows you dont have to be an experienced manager or top flight player to be a good manager.

I know some fans bemoan the lack of pride and passion in England displays. That only gets you so far though. Under Keegan we had Pride & Passion but were tactically inept and the players werent technically good enough Moreover you look at some of the top footballing nations. They have technical ability as well as the pride and passion

So are the above guys good enough or do you think we should go for a foreign coach. Personally I think a foreign coach would work its just Sven was the wrong choice.

Gilly could we have a poll please ?

Out of those names only Gus Hiddink comes close. I fear for England if Fat Sam comes in. Can you imagine the type of football we would play, urgh.

I worry about that but you have to look at the budgets he has had and the players he has had to work with. Pretty much all workmen and industrious players. From reading inteviews in the local papers though with his players, he seems to be a "Modern Coach" with forward thinking tactics etc
