Gareth southgate

[watto-drfc]

2/1 fav for eng job

[rtid88]

No, No, No!!!!

[glosterred]

Eddie Howe would be my choice

[mushRTID]

Mine too!
Eddie Howe would be my choice

[Donnywolf]

Shrek would be my choice - as long as its Manager not Player Manager

God bless Crystal Palace for giving him the freedom of Wembley - making him look a talented midfielder and getting Roy H out of a hole

Hope that he has had his last kick for England - and that went under his fat elephant foot

[Colemans Left Hook]

Ronald koeman or slaven bilic

if England offer enough money feel sure koeman would come  - I feel sure he's got a release clause for arsenal  10 million should do it they paid 5 million to get him

[rabjohns]

Eddie Jones or Jason Gillespie for me.

[Copps is Magic]

I'd go for a raging egotist who is not afraid to swing his balls around in the changing room and hit someone on the chin.

funnily I was joking thinking of steve evans as well

so at last we agree on something

or do you mean the athletico madrid manager

[Copps is Magic]

or do you mean the athletico madrid manager

He'd do. Someone from the Mourihno school.

[Danmckay456]

 Klinsmann for me done a decent job with Germany and the USA and might bring some discipline which no doubt it needs

[CottyRover]

Anybody  (well, almost anybody) but Gareth Southgate. I would do it better job. And I would be rubbish.

Quote

Slaven Bilic is nine years too late.


Why unless he does not want it. He's 47 years of age been an international manager. Knows all the players. Yes he is just managing a side going into a large stadium in West Ham.

So let's make him an offer he can't refuse.

Nobody on the list I've seen will be big enough to make the right decisions tactically.

[the vicar]

the last thing we need is another YES MAN. WE NEED SOME ONE THAT WILL TELL IT the england board and the players as it is not tread on broken glass

[colfromdonny]

Bilic for me but just because they are paid shedloads doesn't make the players any good, just arrogant.

[BillyStubbsTears]

You mean Fabio Capello?

[jonnydog]

Give it to Warnock!!

Capello, egotist?! Give over. He was a pussy cat. He took the job to fund his art addiction.

[Retdon1]

Eddie Howe for me

[Orlandokarla]

Southgate? Not if he were willing to pay 100k a week for the privilege. He's no better than Pearce.

I thought Roy's job was pretty safe before the tournament started. All he had to do was avoid a really embarrassing result. 

There isn't a single credible English candidate, so I suppose we're back to headhunting the best foreign coach who's daft enough to take the job.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Gareth Southgate?. What appoint another yes man, to follow the last?. There are two english coaches capable of sorting this mess out, neither are working, Terry Venables or Glenn Hoddle, other than that a foreign manager is needed.
The coaches are learned to coach, by men who are failures themselves. The whole coaching system, needs ripping up. The fa needs disbanding.

From kids football, through to the pro game, players are overpraised, for doing very little. In the pro game, they are rewarded thousand, for minor achievements. The academies are producing spoilt babies, who think they are far better than they are. What will be the fa's new idea?-Let's copy how iceland do it, that's the normal reaction!.

[The Red Baron]

Slaven Bilic
Alan Pardew
Sam Allardyce

After that I'm struggling. On no account must it be Southgate, who has all the hallmarks of McClaren 2.0. I think Paul Dickov would be a better bet!

[Filo]

Diego Simione, done a great job with Athletico Madrid and not afraid to dish the bollocking out

[Chris Black come back]

The three key criteria for England manager revealed:

- Looks smart in blazer
- Won't rock the boat
- Committed to 2-3 clearly failing players

On this basis I can only imagine that Gareth Southgate will get the job.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Whilst I don't believe that the manager is the core of the problem, our inability to produce decent managers who combine flexibility, leadership and intelligence is intimately connected with our failure to produce players with those talents. On both counts, it's because there is no incentive to do so. The big, fat money making machine will continue to spew out its wealth next season. And we'll move on to the next managerial/squad combined failure.

Here's an interesting thought.

When was the last time an English manager won:

a) ANY major silverware?
b) A European title?
c) The Tier 1 title in England?

[the vicar]

It must be a record, out of Europe twice in a week

I'm guessing here,

a & c Howard Wilkinson

B Brian Clough

[BillyStubbsTears]

C is right. 24 years ago.

You're being too pessimistic on the others.

[vaya]

Redknapp/Portsmouth - FA Cup?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Not for me.

We could do alot worse than going back to Glenn Hoddle. He understands how to assemble a team and how to instill a structure and a pattern of play.

I think he'd also look at the FA and England coaching set up to ensure everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet at all levels.

In addition, his experience will count for a lot. He is an older and wiser man.
