“I say give martin Oneal the job he has hade time away to ****ize the situation and has away of molding a team on short notice ,He also has the eye for fresh talent .This team needs fresh young talent.Im sick of seeing the same old hasbeens underacheivers year after year .It would be easyer to have fresh new players who would love to have the chance to show what they can do and play as a team and not as indaviduals.”

“Being an international manager and a club manager are very different. As Capello found, he was shocking, his interviews were painful to watch and we all remember South Africa!
He could not communicate, motivate or get the players to play as a team. Also could not make the right big calls, drop Rooney when he's playing *hite. As for Terry he's trouble and not such a good player now anyway, so why give him the captain's armband back?
Harry is the man for the job but will the some happen as with Sir Bobby?
Stuart Pearce could do it, motivate, communicate and get them to play as a team, as with the U21'S. Gary Speed did it for the Wales team, so why not!”

“It's gunna be ARRY mate like it or not!!”

“Who would to manage a second rate footballing nation?

The home of football, 2 out 3 managers non english just shows what a joke you are and now Harry Redknapp, ha ha ha.

You are lucky to have qualified for 2012 you have to thank Cymru for that.

Your best bet is a Northern Irishman but he has enough sense to distance himself fron working for a bunch of amateurs know as the Football Association.”

“Belgraveboy.

I minussed you but only because you support British..

ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE...

Wales, Scotland and the Irish lot have shown their true colours by snubbing the GB Olympic team so they should stay away and that includes MON...”

“Capello's successor has to be an Englishman!

1966 we win the world cup..........

Since then our best performances have been 1990 S/F world Cup (Still Hurts when I see Gascoigne miss that one by a couple of inches late on) and 1996 Wembley Euro's S/F's

Our managers both English... Robson & Venables...

Under Sven we got to a Quarter Final and blew it..

Under Capello.. Well what can I say.. We were pants at the world cup and JT's off field antics didn't help.
This year on the build up to the Euro's who is giving us problems,, Yep it's JT. And who is backing him all the way.. Yep... FC..

So the point is despite all the hype that WE MUST have a Foreign manager, England have done NO better,, In fact we've done worse and on top of that it's cost the F.A. loads more money.

I'd much rather lose English than win Foreign,,

but we can't even win foreign can we..

So let's get back to basics and be ENGLISH...”

“with only 4 months to prepare for the finals , we need a man of experience who has been there and not done too badly ....... step forward sven . seriously his record wasnt that bad”

“Sorry, make that 'Alan Curbishley at Charlton'”

“Good post WOLCOTT, it combines fact, is to the point and sensible, i would suppose that most of us would like to see an English manager if it were possible but only one that has the skill and pedigree to make the step up to the international stage and handle the pressure from an uncomprimising media with unreal expectations of our future achievements and a very fickle public who will see only doom and gloom if we lose 1 or 2 games, in my opinion there are only 2 or possibly 3 BRITISH managers that have what i think it takes!
Harry Redknapp, Sir Alex (Scot) who would never take it in a million years but, nevertheless that does'nt NOT make him a likely candidate and Martin O'Neill (N.Irish) who is a maybe?.....i can't for the life of me see why the likes of Roy Hodgson are being considered, he's not really done a lot here, just put a couple of unfashionable teams half way up the table, most of his success came in the Swiss League!! Alan Curbishley, again, no real success, just did well with an unfashionable West Ham for a while, failed when he moved to a bigger club with money to spend, Big Sam, did ok with unfashionable Bolton, but failed after some decent spending sprees with Newcastle and Blackburn!!! .....like i say, English or British if poss but i'm certainly not against another foreign manager at all, as long as he has the qualifications to take us forward then let him have it, i would pay Mourhino's fare over here myself if he'd take the job, but my biggest fear is that as time goes on and our media get more spiteful and unrealistic in their expectations which leads to the public following suit then the job becomes more of a poison chalice!!
I think it needs to be remembered that two of our very much maligned ex managers, Ericsson and Capello have 2 of the best win rates of any England manager in modern times, both of them turned on by the media when they had tired of them but they were both doing more than ok, but, whilst we as a nation think we have a right to be in any final then we will call for their heads unfairly when we fail to do so.
At the moment Harry Redknapp is the nations darling and our first choice BUT if he loses 3 out of his first 8 games the honeymoon will be over, the papers will move into 'public brainwash overload' and he'll be getting hatemail from all and sundry, like i said, a poisoned chalice!”

“How onerous is it to manage a National football team.

So age has got to be looked at in connection with pressure.

We all knew that Capello was going anyway after the Euros. If MON had been in the frame why did he recently join Sunderland, surely he would have held on for July.?

After Spurs' support of Harry in the Court case why would he want to leave them to take over the poisoned chalice of the England job?

Why would we want big Sam, a second division manager, to head the most prestigious job in English football?

Perhaps Stuart Pearce may now be a serious contender having been round the scene for so long

The Barcelona manager is talking about a new challenge. Morinho would be a really popular choice. Ancillotti could be a dark horse. So could Guus Hiddinck.

Maybe David Moyes might be interested, but then would a Scot ever take on the England manager's role?

Mark Hughes has just been employed by QPR. Would Neil Warnock stand up to the pressures of being an England manager or would he trip over his mouth every time he was asked to open it?

So when you look at the English/British managers currently employed, there are quite a few Brits that would probably not want to manage the "enemy" at national level, and very few English Prem managers capable of doing it either through experience or through employment terms.”
