Best England manager since Sir Alf?

[Chopper West]

Don Revie: Buggered off to Saudi for more MOOLAH half way through a campaign

Ron Greenwood: Took us to World Cup in Spain in 1982, when we were knocked out despite not losing a match.

Bobby Robson: Tabloids wanted him out after poor showing in Euro 1984 campaign, but then took us to WC QF in 1986 and SF in 1990

Graham Taylor *Cough*

Terry Venables: No qualification as we hosted Euro '96, moderate results at the competition (P5 W2 D3 L0) during 90 minutes. Ex-Palace

Glenn Hoddle: Qualified for WC in 1998, knocked out by Argies after Godenballs sent off, dropped Gazza from squad for being a pisshead. On first name terms with God.

Kevin Keegan: Passionate, picked Phil Neville a lot, cried when lost to the Germans and threw toys out of pram.

Sven: Took us to WC2002 after picking up mess from KK. Lost to Brazil in QF despite them being down to 10 men. Qualified easily for Euro 2004, where lost on pens, and for WC2006. A lover rather than a fighter

In terms of percentage of victories it's Hoddle.

 

[B.M.F]

EL TEL. I honestly think we would have won the world cup by now if they had left Venables in charge.

 

[Trigger]

Sir Bob.

 

[Beach Hut]

Bobby Robson - very unlucky not to have won the World Cup

But you didn't vote for him.

It's the raving loony party leader for me though, won the Tournoi De France and set a new high bar for passing football.
'Should' have won the WC, but for a dodgy argentina game where Becks saw red and Sol saw a goal disallowed. Englenad were good then though, bloody well drilled and working as a proper team.

Bobby was very creditable, a thinking manager and respected.

Revie picked his mates. I couldn't stand seeing Leeds representing England.

KK just wasn't cut out for the job. Nice fellow, great player - not enough.

Venables a slippery sort, not quite the man to lead us to the very top.

Ron Greenwood I don't believe was among the true greats but the FA weren't going to hire Clough.

Sven just gets away with a lot, since he has some of the best players we have ever seen at his disposal and they will usually perform. He has no clue how to stir up the side by putting on a player with passion when we needed it (i.e. Joe Cole, when we were falling asleep v Brasil). It will be very interesting to read what the players REALLY think about him, after the wanker has walked out the door.

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

Bobby Robson no contest.

 

[Del Boy]

Sir Venables, I would take him back tomorrow!!

 

[perth seagull]

Sir Bobby easily. No one else (apart from Sir Alf of course) has gotten us to the World Cup semi finals.

 

[Gwylan]

SGE - best record by far.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Where's the option for Joe Mercer?

 

[Strike]

Bobby Robson.

Were they? They were good in qualification, granted. Unlucky against Argentina as well, but they did lose to Romania in the group stage and they diodnt exactly hammer average teams like Tunisia and Colombia.

No way would they have beaten France, and I would have been surprised if they could have beaten Italy or Brazil.

 

[Northstander]

Bobby for me!

We were Unlucky (again)
