New England Manager

[Gwylan]

Of course we should stick with Sven. I do think there are some unrealistic expectations, our record in international tournaments has not been fantastic, especially in the European championships, and getting to the quarter-finals is not below par - in the last 30 years, we've done better than that just twice (and one of those was with home advantage).

Last night we achieved a draw against a team that was one of the favourites before the tournament started, a team against whom we had lost our previous two competitive games, a team whose champions won the Champions League and a team with home advantage. We got the draw and with a decent referee we could have won, that's a reasonable achievement.

A few days ago, there were some people on NSC who were talking about getting to the final as if it were a stroll; now there are people talking about getting rid of the manager. Both positions are plain daft; we've got a good, but not great, international team. Since Sven's been in charge, we've been punching above our weight. What reason to change?

Keep Sven - he makes mistakes, but not nearly as many as some of the senior players. He is the best manager in years, and there is no alternative

need someone who has passion and isnt afraid to shout

Absolutely agree - we need someone with passion and who cares about England winning.

Too many football mercenaries playing (and managing) for the money and the personal gain nowadays. (Wenger seems to be an exception to this).

The fact that the FA believe that there is no Englishman equiped to be the England Football manager is quite simply ridiculous.

We need someone with Ian Wright's passion and Wengers appreciation of how football can be played - and who can generate loyalty, skills and comitment in the England team.
