    Knowing our luck it'll be Russell Slade and we'll get a network replacement

    Why is everyone saying Hoddle? He's been out of the game for 15 or so years...I think the game has changed immensely in the last five years.

    Dodgy 'arry is being mentioned.

    Southgate looks like the usual FA appointment. Nice guy, internal appointment. But what's he ever done as a manager?

    Claudio Ranieri. He knows how to turn a shit team into winners.

    I want Mourinho. But as we can't have him, I'd take Alladyce as he's the closest we've got. He's a meticulous planner and very good motivator. Despite being a bit of an arrogant ass, it seems to work for him. Can't see the FA doing it though. Especially after the way West Ham disposed of him.

    Could be worse, could be Steve Mclaren again

    Has to be Hoddle.
  • How about the Chuckle brothers?

    Howe for me if he'll take it. Remember reading an article about how he drills it into the heads of his Bournemouth players that the history of the club and the pride of wearing the badge are the most important things, reckon he could sort out that bunch of prima donas. Not a bad tactician either.

    No English manager is good enough.

    Get someone that can actually manage at the top level in.


    Manuel Pellegrini at the moment seems the best candidate.

    Got to be English but not a lot of choice is there!

    Frank Rijkaard.

    But I think it will be Big Sam. I'll be interested to see if any players "retire". I've always been a supporter of Rooney, but he's time is up now.

    I thought Roy would do better. I was very surprised that he did not take Carroll as a different option and when you need to lob the ball in.

    Also surprised we did not have a settled 1st team and style of play.

    I thought at the last world cup he should have taken Shelvey for the same reason (not this tournament as his form was not good enough). You need something different sometimes. It isn't easy but important. I think when the FA interview for the next manager, they should ask what mistakes Hodgson made and they should go back to previous regimes too. This shouldn't be a catch you out question, but a presentation for the new candidate to prepare and make. I think this would help find the right man.

    The English Cricket and Rugby teams has move Australian coaches. We need to follow suit and get somebody who is more tactically astute than Hodgson. I was thinking Bouncer the Dog of neighbours.

    Rather than focus on the manager - the biggest failure over the years must be that of the people who pick the manager. Curbs gave an account of what a farce the process was in respect to him in his book.

    The FA have always been the same - only want a Yes man. It stretches as far back as when the refused to appoint Brian Clough. The one man they did appoint that was against the grain was Terry Venables - we actually look good then. Until this blundering bunch of dianasours have a look at themselves nothing will change. It's absolutely farcical. No manager worth his salt will even consider the job.

    The sad fact is, and may God strike me down if I am telling a lie, but if I was asked who was most likely to pick the best man for the job - the FA or a Charlton life poll. I would honestly and sincerely go with the latter!

    Gareth Southgate is favourite with some bookies. The suits at the FA would probably appoint him as well

    I reckon the p***** knob has been groomed to take over.

    He'd be a fit for the FA.

    And he's mad, was crap last time, talks total bollox, is completely mad, played Kenny G to calm Gazza down when he sacked him, employed a faith healer, is mad, and believes there are no players who come anywhere close to how brilliant HE was as a player. And I question his sanity.

    Mind you being mad may be a important requirement for the job, when the pool of talent available is so poor.

    I've never given a shit about England, everyone fails when appointed England manager, at least if Pardew got the job he would fail and I could give him dog's abuse all day long

    Ditto.

    Coupled with p***** having to find a new manager which could help a relegation.
  • Allardyce, pulis not a chance in hell should they be considered

    Southgate should be dismissed from consideration as well

    What basis would you even consider them struggling league mgrs at best focus on not losing over winning

    A young up and coming mgr forceful when required, brave and bold in attack and organised through meticulous planning, get the manager that's stock is rising and has no baggage of fear

    Its simple

    Sean dyche
    Or
    Eddie howe

    I'd take Sean as first choice

    Sir Alec Ferguson or Big Sam as interim manager while they take their time to find the right candidate

    Shearer?
  • But was Hoddle crap last time? His team played the best football I've seen England play over the last 20 years. Qualified for WC via a tough group and his team played really well until Beckhams sending off (and he tactically prepared them fantastically well after as they'd trained for the scenario). Gave debuts to young talent inc Scholes and Beckham. Was sacked over non football reasons and there is the problem. But if he's learnt to just get on with the job I'd have him back.

    Previously the FA have said the English manager should have European experience, this is bollocks! the English manager needs to understand how to set up a team and get the best out of players. This notion of having European experience somehow makes you a tactical genius have been proved to be false in the last 4 managers.

    You either have it or you dont.
  • I am hoping Eddie Howe.

    The manager must always be English.
