England going forward

[SM]

Geeze, he's really keen on Bruce taking over..

So what of Klinsmann and the foreign alternatives? Currently coaching USA, Klinsmann is letting it be known he would like to work in English football. Hodgson’s job would appeal — but, if not, a significant position in the Premier League.

Rich, isn’t it? One imagines he isn’t thinking Hull or Sunderland. Those aren’t the sort of jobs the foreign managers take. It is only the English that trash their reputations at no-hope outposts.

A pity, really. If Klinsmann took Hull, Bruce would be free to manage England and his successor would get the same opportunity to prove his worth that is afforded to domestic coaches.

You know, those useless ones who keep getting relegated and finishing in the bottom half of the table, making them unworthy to manage internationally.

Can't really blame the English academies can we? They're the same academies that got Wales' squad into a semi final

Hoddle puts his hand up. So far Bruce, Shearer & Neville has also been mentioned as possibilities. Really attracting the cream of the crop so far.

It's a good point. They're not the most skilled, or technically competent, and they're not going to be able to keep the ball as well as others. That to an extent is a failing of (mainly English) academies.

But they play to their strengths and that can still be very effective. England don't and havent done for years.

They worked out a tactic to suit their two best players in bale and Ramsey. Allen isn't as good as most EPL cms but he has a job to do and does it well and makes them tick. A good manager can make any defence well set up. Their back 3/5 isn't that great but they do their jobs well

 

[FAITH]

english media are so clueless. havent seen them name one guy who would do a great job for england.

 

[Cruyff14]

I reckon Hoddle might be alright.

 

[Magma]

so does michael owen. i think that's all the evidence we need.

 

[Zidane98]

Any chance Stuart Pearce might be interested?

 

[Zidane98]

I reckon Hoddle might be alright.

Maybe if he employed GB as a reverse faith healer.

OK, you win.

 

[Latro]

I want it to be Pardew just for the smugness at his first press conference

 

[Runnin Blue]

I keep hearing Shearer's name mentioned. I haven't kept up on him, I didn't even realise he was coaching. Who has he coached and for what result?

Newcastle for 8 games. They were relegated

Shit. Was that late last season? I didn't hear that. Was he coaching League 1/championship before that?

This was before Pardew coached Newcastle.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Oh, ok. So what are his credentials for coaching the national side or is this a media beat up?

The article I linked does make the good point that Coleman was hardly 'cream' and has done ok for Wales.

This was in 08/09. It was his only managerial stint.

 

[Scotland]

Van Gaal is available, so is Pellegrini. Hiddink too.

Would've been cool to see Mourinho doing the job. Can you sell players you don't rate to other countries?

The ship was almost sunk by the time he arrived though. Like trying to empty the boat with a bucket.

 

[Magma]

italy reports say mancini is a contender. international management would be absolutely perfect for him. intense, strict, high standards but not every other day of the week, just occasionally.

They could do much worse, e.g. someone English.

Has been confirmed that the FA interviewed Steve Bruce for the England job today.

SM you should replace him with the Moyesiah if he gets the gig.
