Somebody who is at least English.
What part of "England v. xxxxx" is so hard to understand?
Posted By: MattLFC Re: Next England manager - 8th Feb 2012 9:57pm
Yes, but a plain old English manager would not be shrouded in controversy grab the headlines now, would he? And the FA love to be in the headlines, preferably for the wrong reason.

Harry Redknapp was the bookies favourite, until today's result, now he isn't even an outsider for the role.

The bookies have Harry Redknapp as odds on favourite.

I persoally like the idea of Stuart Pearce.
He has the knowledge of the younger players that are coming through
the youth stages and the young players are what we will need if we are ever going to win anything major.

England will never win anything, since about 2000ish there has been too many egotistical pricks who are interested only in playing, and making a name for themselves, to increase their financial demands and celebrity status. There is no team spirit, there is no desire to be a part of and play as a part of a team. Additionally, the FA have revelled in just about any controversy they have walked into.

I am still gob smacked that Capello was allowed to remain as manager, despite his obvious involvement in the Calciopoli farce. But then, it managed to grab the headlines for the FA, and that is what they were looking for.

Dunno so much, the England manager only does a few weeks work a year, and gets £6million for the privilege. Capello certainly found time to embrace the media...

And it's not likely he will get pressure from the FA if he spent more time on MOTD than looking after the team, and went out of the Euro's at the first round.

I see Harry Redknapp has formally applied for the position, so must now be the favourite on the basis of his application:
