And the next England manager is?

[alfredmizen]

I'd go for Slaven Bilic or Claudio Ranieri

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Eddie Howe please

 

[Puppet Master]

Would be happy with Blanc, Hiddink, Benitez or Bielsa. LVG for the lols, too.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Just what we need , another f***king FA yes man.

Therein lies the problem. We need a new FA first.

 

[maltaseagull]

Hoddle.

With Pearce to instill some passion!

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Bilic for me, but would be take it?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Sam would be a reasonable appointment, note the lack of real enthusiasm.

He showed he can get results from ordinary players....That is more relevant than winning with superstars

 

[mikeyjh]

First and foremost, we need someone who the players will revere, maybe even fear and then that someone needs to decide how we're going to play and then find the best XI to fit in to that approach. Shearer ticks the boxes for me, football isn't rocket science and Shearer isn't a rocket scientist. Way too many nice guys have been England manager, I shudder when I see the likes of Howe and Hughton mentioned, they may be great club managers but not for England. And Southgate? Do F**K off.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Disappointed that Hodgson resigned, it was the players who failed.
But fir next manager, I would not be surprised if Southgate got the job. Pardew if he is willing to leave Palace, but I will not be happy with either of these options.
Allardyce isnt a bad shout, but again, still not an inspired option. Eddie Howe, too young.
Foreign... maybe Hiddink, LVG or Blanc, I would be happy with them, possibly Pellegrini?

Shame he will probably pick Defoe for every squad.

 

[W3 BHA]

Need someone with real passion in the Stuart Pearce mould

Perhaps Eddie Jones wouldn't mind doing both the soccer and the rugger jobs?!

 

[Seagull58]

Sam Allerdyce. **** it, why not?

On the basis that the FA have refused to even interview him previously he must be the best man for the job. I say give it to Sam and see if he can get the f***ers organised, especially the defence. Maybe he can find a decent keeper too.

I thought Shearer too but then I saw some of his team selections in the papers for the last few games and it was pretty much the same as Hodgson - strikers shunted out wide, players out of form being picked etc.

Roberto Martinez is free but then as you say, we don't want another powderpuff type which is how he presents himself to me.

 

[crodonilson]

This. He has a good record of taking over underachieving teams and making them efficient. It will be his biggest challenge yet.

And his fisticuffs away at Norwich at the tail end of last season showed more passion any England manager has shown for a long time.

Big Sam is the one for me too. May not be aesthetically pleasing but he gets teams organised and playing within their limitations, plus I don't think he'd be afraid to ruffle a few feathers within the FA. Lets be honest he can't be any worse than Roy. It can't be Southgate though.

I dislike Allardyce but he has precisely the skills we need in terms of imposing a system and instilling the discipline to play within it.
Unfortunately as you point out he would ruffle feathers and the old farts at the FA won't stand for that.

 

[GT49er]

Allardyce.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Has to be Wenger.

 

[Seagull58]

I'm on the Big Sam bandwagon. I want to see him drilling the defence for 6 hours a day until they learn how to defend throw ins and corners. We need a manager who can turn a bunch of disinterested, untalented f***wits into a decent team where the team is much better than the sum of it's parts. Sam fits the bill.
