After the dismal display by England in Euro 2016 & the demise of Roy Hodgson who do you think should now get the job of Manager / Coach?

 

I think it should be Alan Shearer

I don't see any issue with Gareth Southgate as long as the gutterpress leave him alone. Which they won't.

Claudio Ranieri.

Alan Shearer are you kidding me

 

It probably be Gareth Southgate, Tim Sherwood or Gary Neville. Apparently Glenn Hoddle is second favourite.

 

Another name was put in the pot Arsene Wenger, but I don't think he wll take it on

Hands off Slaven Bilic.

 

Otherwise... Hiddink?

Tactics Tim is nearly as bad an idea as Glenn Hoddle.

It doesn't matter who the manager is, the FA need to implement an idea and a strategy. Either play long ball, pressing, possession etc. and go for that so that we have the structure in place. We have a real lack of quality coaches in England, and the next manager should not be English.

 

Pellergini would be a great shout for me.

I love the way every time England sack a coach it flips between the next one "needing to be English" or "needing to be foreign"!

 

There tend to be far too many individuals who look better than they are due to playing with genuinely world class colleagues at club level. Don't worry about the coach's club career - interview properly to find somebody who can recognise what elements are required from a team - and perhaps call training sessions more frequently if they can (and that will often be down to the clubs).

 

One thing that may come from this is that some players may genuinely have to decide between club and country. Or money. Get the right people picked and you may start to see team performances. Like Iceland.

Agreed that there's far deeper structural problems, but we could have still done a decent job in that tournament with someone other than Hodgson at the helm.

 

Heard talk of Southgate taking it for a year until Wenger's contract is up. Not the worst idea.

Odds on England's next manager:

 

 

Gareth Southgate 7-4f

Glenn Hoddle 5-1

Jurgen Klinsmann 6-1

Sam Allardyce 14-1

Eddie Howe 14-1

Alan Pardew 14-1

Alan Shearer 14-1

Harry Redknapp 14-1

Arsene Wenger 16-1

Slaven Bilic 16-1

Gary Neville 20-1

Guus Hiddink 25-1

Manuel Pelligrini 25-1

Rafa Bentiez 25-1

Laurent Blanc 25-1

Brendan Rodgers 25-1

Claudio Ranieri 25-1

David Moyes 33-1

Steve Bruce 33-1

Mark Hughes 33-1

 

Not sure if Arsene Wenger would take it when his contract runs out next year, it depends how well Arsenal do next season, they might extend his contract.

What an uninspiring choice of managers.

Who would have the bottle to take this position?

 

 

I'm a bit worried Big Sam will still fancy it. That said, the way Sunderland start every season, he'd be gone by October anyway.

Allardyce is talks with the FA.

 

Oh England, when will you learn.

As long as they are talking to him about nothing more important than pie consultant for Wembley.

He would have been good ten years ago, but the game has moved on. Back then he was taking decent Premier League teams and pushing them into Europe - now he's taking crap teams and making them decent. He wouldn't be a disaster, but we could do a lot better. As a West Ham fan, the fact that Bilic's name was being thrown around makes me feel underwhelmed by Big Sam.

You're ten years too late Big Sam.

Your worries could be right there, richie.

 

If it's an final option, then I suppose we'll take Big Sam.

Steve Bruce and Sam Allarydce have both had interviews with the FA yesterday apparently.

 

 

We'll need some new doors either way.

Personally Klinsmann would be my choice. Knows the English game, knows how to win, has a proven record as manager and maybe, just maybe, we might learn how to take a penalty.
