Who replaces Roy as England Manager?

[Outlaw 2.0]

Eric Cantona

[Old Redback]

What about Pellegrini? Thoughts anyone?

Only managed one year of success (relatively) with overpaid and overhyped players whose ego was out of touch with their supporters so in that sense he is better equipped than the last england manager but definitely not a realistic long term candidate.

[Nice One Cyril]

Talking about Rooney

Maybe he is not a striker, not a No 9 anymore but for me he will never be a No 6, playing 50 metres from the goal.

You can tell me his pass is amazing but my pass is also amazing without pressure. To be there and put the ball in the net is the most difficult thing. For me he will be a 9, a 10, a nine and a half but never a 6 or an 8.

At least someone understands. Shame Woy was such a twat.

[Old Master]

He may turn out to be a fine manager, but the FA are not going to appoint someone with zero real experience. Now that Southgate and Harry have ruled themselves out, Klinsmann is the new bookies favourite with Hoddle behind him. I'd probably take either of them.[/quote]


Giggs has no managerial experience - he's the Perfect Candidate for the England Job - and will probably be approached now he's out of a job!

I thought they might have gone for an English manager who has had major success at a big European Club - then I woke up and realised there aren't any! [/quote]

He's managed Man U, so clearly has some experience.

What do you think about Hoddle getting the job?[/quote]


As usual you've got it wrong - Giggs was the ASSISTANT MANAGER that's a long way from being an experienced manager.

What is your obsession with Hoddle?

He's been given the job as a manager job once before and failed.

I think you'll find that Giggs looked after man U when Moyes was given his marching orders, so technically he is right.

I look forward to the day that the "Hoddle" penny drops..............If I live that long!

Could you please tell me who managed Manchester United after David Moyes?

Glen Hoddle is currently 7/1 to be the next England manager.

Sort of shows you don't know what you're talking about.

Hoddle didn't keep his trap shut about personal opinions, that's all. Him, Capello and Alf Ramsey are the only managers with win percentages over 60%, so hardly a failure.

[Old Redback]

I'd be happy with Hoddle especially as Clough, Venables and 'Arry are all unavailable.

Glen Hoddle is currently 7/1 to be the next England manager.

Firstly, I had forgotten about his short stint in charge, but he was only ever a stop gap before a real manager was appointed and didn't really make much difference to the way the team played.

He hasn't been a 'proper' manager yet and will need to prove himself somewhere else before being given the position of Manager at a Top Club.

Secondly, Hoddle failed as manager of England because he never really made a real difference to the way they approached matches against the major countries - like his predecessors he just expect to win because they were England.

He also didn't have the temperament to be a Top manager - blamed everyone else for his inability to coach - typical Southerner.

I thought he was sacked because he said disabled people were paying for their sins in a former life

He did, although he actually said

I have got an inner belief and an inner faith with God. I do believe spiritually we have to progress because we've been here before. The physical body is just an overcoat for your spirit. At death you take the overcoat off and your spirit will go on to another life in a spirit dimension.

I think we make mistakes when we are down here and our spirit has to come back and learn. That's why there is an injustice in the world. Why there's certain people born into the world with terrible physical problems and why there's a family who has got everything right, physically and mentally.

and you can interpret that how you want, but it's his opinion, based on his beliefs, you don't have to agree with them.

Of course the politicians saw the chance for some self-publicity and shouted loudly, but the FA lack the balls to tell them where to go.

So, would you like to retract your comment about being wrong and add in one about you being wrong?

[Old Redback]

I'm not sure you could categorically describe Hoddle as failing either in his previous stint as a manager.

surely Marcelo Bielsa....now that would be fun.....might also teach the English about tactics...

You never know he may actually play a system that's suits the players at his disposal. He certainly couldn't be any worse than Roy, who had no idea of how to set the side up.

Sure thing- hoof it up the park and put the defence under pressure. Maybe Kane will be deployed as the long thrower as opposed to taking corners. Any half decent Englishman with a long throw must fancy their chances of getting in to Big Sam's team. All the other countries must be quaking in their boots! He might get more commitment initially but England are taking a massive gamble IMO. That said they should manage a fairly comfortable passage through their respective World Cup group but as always the trouble is once they qualify.
Jack Charlton did reasonably well with Ireland using much the same tactics but I don't think the England fans would accept it and I'm far from convinced that he can adapt his tactics to suit International level football and be a success.

Did he play direct when he was in charge of Bolton where he bought players such as Okocha and Djorkaeff? thought not.

And Blackpool.

Sam prefers to play good Football but usually has to make do with what he's given, like he had with West Ham.

When he was at Blackpool they played good attacking Football, with pace and skill, and the fans loved him as he used quite a few young academy players during the season and let them use their skills.

He got sacked after he failed to win promotion from Div 4, as it was then, on goal difference.

well at least if England continue to embarrass themselves at international level, they will do so playing the 'English' way....
instead of 'possessing' for the sake of possession.

Exactly right, that last tournament made the point I've made for ages. No point in possession if you don't put the ball in the net.

[N5 1BH]

If England are looking for someone with a thick skin, excellent man management & organisational skills and a single minded will to win then it has to be big fat Sam.
