SAM

Just get Eddie Jones tbh.

In all seriousness, forget about this out dated concept of where they were born and try and get the best person available. Do whatever it takes to get Hiddink. Thought we should have gone for him after Sven. He's had a lot of success at major tournaments with some pretty ordinary teams. He seems to know how to do well in these things and he's currently available.

Hiddink would be ideal.

It's going to be Southgate.

I'm not sure Hiddink still has what it takes. His last couple of years have been bad. Appointing him would be more of the same, I feel. It's a bit like appointing Capello or Hodgson just because they were famous names.

If you want someone who's doing right now what Hiddink has done in the past, maybe Lagerbäck would be a good option in the short term? He's stepping down as manager for Iceland after the Euros.

Big Sam please.

Wenger should take it part time, and go permanently in 2017.

God I don't want any of those options. Don't know who I would want, tbh. Not many names I can think of that would be available.

Big Sam for me as well. He'd sort the overpaid nonces out.

Voted Hiddink on reflex, but it's actually the wrong time to get him. Be better off sticking whoever in there, then getting Hiddink in a year or so to take England to the World Cup.

Wenger. If only as a way to finally part ways with him. Probably do England good at the same time having a manager who knows a bit about football.

Wenger would be an incredibly bad fit for national team management.

Wenger? You lot crack me up.

Can't be any worse than Hodgson or McLaren.

I suppose just like with us 4th would be considered a success by his bosses so there's that.

Boom!

Wenger. Make it happen.

The rest of them are either cunts of boring farts.

Do you actually think a lot of the players are paedophiles?

It's a joke in reference to this:

Benitez looks the best option from that lot, although I'd like Wenger to get it for Arsenal reasons.

I don't think Wenger would be as bad as suggested though. I think being forced to work with the players England have would actually benefit him. He'd still inevitably have England eliminated in the knock-outs but that's going to happen anyway.

I voted Wenger for the lolz.

I believe Wenger will bring the best out of all these young players.

You probably could've pulled Dean Parrett out of Stevenage, chucked Wenger in charge and gotten past Iceland anyway.

Let's hope it's Wenger. Reckon he would do pretty well too.

Looks like Hoddle is the favourite. I'm not sure about that, bloke has been a pundit for the last 12 years! He should had never got the sack as England boss, best manager they've had since Robson but he's a bit of a dinosaur now surely?

You can't have a representative of the community publicly espousing bat shit crazy religious ideas that some members of that community "got what they deserved because they are disabled".

I voted for Allardicci the Great. He would love it. And it's his level too

Hoddle was a decent manager but Biggus is right, his faith healer and his fringe beliefs were an issue—and would've become a big issue for the players over time, I reckon. He was also blessed with a much better crop of players than the next England manager will be.

it's definitely his level. he would be in dreamland in a football world where iceland, wales, italy, etc are getting plaudits.

I reckon Allerdyce actually has the balls to not pick whoever the media wants to. That alone is enough to deserve the England job these days.

Alan Shearer to shut up his big fat gob.

Big Sam's officially in talks with the FA. Honestly think he's the best English candidate and he'd do a good job.

He's better than both Hodgson and McLaren, so yeah, that counts as progress

Salvatore Allardicci would be a laugh too.

I know it's not a popular choice but I would have gone with 'Arry. He's a bit of a joke these days and clueless tactically, but he has built good sides in the past by being a good man manager. He clearly knows what a good footballer looks like too. Look at what he did for Lampard, look at what he did for Bale who was stuck playing leftback when he took over Spurs.

Redknapp strikes me as someone who'd be good at working within the FA with long-term administrative stuff too without being on the training pitch every day. And he's a solid presence on the sideline. I reckon it's exactly what the players need. More than anything else they need a motivator. They haven't had that since the early Eriksson years.

Yeah agree completely, they should have gone for Redknapp when they went for Woy. Don't know about now.

Personally I don't think Fat Sam is a particularly good choice. I don't see a pragmatic, tactical manager getting anywhere with this England side.

Yeah. Besides, Allardyce is the kind of guy who loves showing the world how briliant he is even though he's anything but. He'll have the team defend from the front instead of inspiring them to just go out there and play.

As I expected really. They'll just appoint Allardyce and it will be rinse and repeat.
