Definitely not Clough or Allison. There is no way their idiosyncratic, flamboyant and confrontational styles would have been suited to international management - although I accept the press conferences would have been exciting. I know that Clough at least wasn't picked because he pissed off the stuffed shirts at the FA, but it was a bullet dodged. However I also accept that we were so shit in the 1970s (still suffering from the delusions of inherent English superiority engendered by 1966) that they couldn't have done any worse, so yeah, it might have been fun.
Can't really think of anybody. Bill Nicholson maybe.
