The thing is that every appointment is a bit of a failure so maybe we should tear up the FA appointment rule book which Curbs exposed to be a bit of a joke in the only interesting bit of his book. It is a different job to a club manager so if you are going to appoint a name why not look to somebody who has done the job internationally. What about Gus Hiddink?
What does 'being out' mean? Do people think it means that over time the skills of management erode away like knowledge of GCSE History?
No he still has the skill but do the players respect him like they would Harry. A lot of the players wont have come across him. Sadly it's about respect and not badges.
We should look no further than Martin O'Neill - he's done superbly wherever he's gone (with limited resources) as evidenced by his current spell at Sunderland with the same group of players who were virtually in the relegation zone.
If Harry gets it Darren Bent might just as well book his summer hols now.

He has to be English this time. Unless a certain Portuguese manager fancies it?

Not having come across him - so the under 25 year olds - may be a massive advantage. Always fear the teacher you have no knowledge of.
Seriously, I just dont understand this - been out too long thing. Curbs himself recently said he would have remained at Charlton longer if Murray had come up with the goods. Maybe this wasnt just a Charlton disaster, but a National one, in hindsight.
Foreign parasite, who tore the arse out of the FA financially and didn't even bother to learn the lingo properly. Did he even live here?? EMPLOY AN ENGLISHMAN FFS! All about Harry surely.
Glad he has gone, I have totally lost interest in the England national team since the World Cup and I partly blame Capello for this. Hopefully bring in someone who can bring passion back into the team, like the team's attitude we had in Euro 1996.
Beds, didn't we beat the Spaniards last time round?
Yes we did. Unofficial world champions.
Ok it was only one game and we were lucky. Still thought that we had a good squad of youngsters coming through to maybe have a decent showing in the Euros.

I actually agree with you but i dont think the F.A ( or the press) will.
Thing is, who is to say somebody like Alan Shearer wouldn't make an excellent England manager - It is a different job to a club manager but the FA always look to those!!!

Spot on Beds - and therein lies the problem with our national team
I'm sticking my neck out here, I am glad Capello has gone because I think the one thing you need to suceed as England manager is the fans behind you. I don't know any England fans who liked him or could relate to him.
BUT
Would I have Harry Redknapp in charge? No. He has admitted himself he would hate International management. I think his man management isn't great, a spurs season ticket fan said that his real success is down to the assistant and coaches. Who would I give the job to? No English manager is good enough IMO.. one man for the job. JOSE MOURINHIO. Don't ask me why cos I don't like him, but I think he is the only man who could handle the job.
Hold on. Clem didn't predict this one. I think you'll actually find supaclive said that a football manager will lose their job at some point in the future, but he couldn't say when and he couldn't say who, and he couldn't say whether it was domestic, european or international.

Good point about Bent - I think he will be a key player for England but wont play under the illiterate one.
I think harry will take it.

Harry in for the late May friendlies and Euros
Mourinho to Spurs.
Biggest winners in this could be Spurs
