Capello Quits

Hiddink plays good football, but he's never really been the man to take a team "to the next level".

Anyone but Arry

Former FA chief exec David Davies says that other than Redknapp, Roy Hodgson is a "very strong candidate" for the job

Should get some up and coming young English manager and go for the long haul style. Young team, young manager.

WC semi finals with Holland
WC semi finals with South Korea
Took Australia out the group in 2006
Euro 2008 semi finals with Russia

Quite a lot won at club level.


Would be a good choice. Better than some of the shite ITV have come up with:

Fabio Capello's shock exit has created a vacancy for an England manager, just four months away from the start of Euro 2012.
Unlike when Capello was offered £6million a year to clear up the mess left by Steve McClaren, the Football Association do at least have options - and some of them are even English.
HARRY REDKNAPP
Ticks all the boxes; English, managed in the Champions League, won trophies, plays attractive football and has done so with Tottenham thanks to a core of English players, including captaincy candidate Scott Parker. Has to be the overwhelming favourite.
ROY HODGSON
Was strongly fancied to replace Capello following the 2010 World Cup. However, before the FA made their decision, Hodgson plumped for an ill-fated spell with Liverpool. Now at West Brom, Hodgson has vast managerial experience and would be viewed as a safe pair of hands.
ALAN PARDEW
After difficult spells at Charlton and Southampton, Pardew has re-established his reputation at Newcastle. Overcome a lot of scepticism to re-establish the Magpies as a top-flight force and not yet out of contention for a Champions League place after an outstanding campaign.
STUART PEARCE
Long-time coach of the England Under-21 side and confirmed as boss of the Olympic team later this year. Pearce's fierce reputation as a player took a knock when he failed to curb the excesses of Joey Barton at Manchester City. Lacks experience of the club scene but many other countries prefer to appoint from within.
JOSE MOURINHO
Impeccable CV and perfect grasp of English. One man who would have no problem controlling the dressing-room egos. Tipped to leave Real Madrid in the summer, his fiery temperament might be a big problem for the FA, in addition to his salary demands, which are sure to be high.
ARSENE WENGER
Hugely respected in England and his knowledge of the domestic game clearly an advantage. In the middle of a vast rebuilding exercise at Arsenal, where some fans have turned against him, so not impossible to believe he could be prised away. Never shown any liking for the international game though.

IMO that shouldn't be the case.

Like who?

If we were to do that I'd rather we went UK rather than English and appointed Brendan Rodgers.

Only two of those options are better/ on par with Hiddink

Time to get an English man in and completely overhaul the national team.

I dunno. Got to be some young managers out there with potential

Exactly.

Nigel Adkins.

Alan Pardew A man who once played Hayden Mullins and Bobby Zamora over Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez. Brilliant stuff.

I think so. Fairly sure I remember reading it somewhere.

Rather Hiddink then Redknapp. Mainly because I don't want Redknapp to leave Spurs.

This is the FA we are talking about.

Arsene Wenger would be brilliant, wouldnt happen in a million years though

The FA would be insane to turn down Hiddink in favour of getting an Englishman incharge.

Umm...what's wrong with that? Could Mascherano and Tevez honestly have hacked it in the English league?

Always seems to me that the FA would rather please the press than the fans

Out goes the man with the second or first best winning percentage in the English NT's history (67%).

Agree with Danny on the Hiddink debate. Who were South Korea, Australia, and Russia on the international stage before he took over? As far as I remember Turkey is the only major blip on his managerial CV in that stage.

I don't see the big deal about the next England manager being English.

Wenger would get to do what he supposedly does best, nurture youth players, and shit.

Good idea from their FA.

Our last 2 English managers have been fantastic.

One loved umbrellas and one quit whilst having a shit.

Who's watching this old bastard on SSN ranting about how Redknapp NEEDS to be the next England manager?

The tactical input from managers is overrated. Their ability to man manage is far more important.

The press sort off reflect the general view points of the 'fans'.

Just look at Talksport ect ...

But he wouldn't be able to turn a profit!!!!!
