Happy Face 29 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Should a completely unexperienced man walk into the biggest profile job in English management? Could ruin him imo. He'd be daft to go near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes and no. There has been mutterings about the FA offering him a position for how long now, six months? He's got the qualifications, he wants to manage, he knows he can't go near Newcastle for a while and he can't do any worse than the current manager, it's sort of win win for him.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Mourinho, Redknapp, O'Neill, Allardyce. I reckon the middle 2 might be possibilities. The first must look at the players we've got and realise they just won't cut the mustard. The latter couldn't have the gall, could he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Is Scolari still under contract? Could the FA go back for him? Or would Mourinho fancy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4748 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 lippi, it'll never happen but... mourinho won't take it he's said before he only wants to manage portugal at international level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21921 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 never going to happen, but my dream appointment would be wenger. imagine if england played like arsenal? he doesn't rate english players though (quite rightly) and would never take the job. so more realistically, i'd try for mourinho. he'd get the best out of those players. it wouldn't be pretty but fuck me, it's hardly been total football under sven and second choice steve - i'm pretty sure we would have qualified under jose. just please, christ, please....no more english managers. there aren't any good ones out there so don't even go there barwick. you stupid fat bearded knob jockey. good grief.

Jimbo 175 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 By the way, shouldn't it be Baldwin rather than Barlow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Not very many options are there?..the same can be said about the current playing stocks though. For that reason I don't see why anybody would want to take the job on...oh wait, they get paid an absolute mega-salary to do so don't they. Gerard Houllier maybe, he's not doing much at the moment. Technical Director of French Football IIRC, but the constant scrutiny and purge by our media would turn him right off I would think. And like England's sad lack of playing talent, there is also a sad lack of English managers. What a sorry state of affairs. If Alan Shearer is keen, they should probably give it to him. Like Sammyb says, he wouldn't have anything to lose and it would be good to see what he can do with our sorry lot. He might be the fresh blood England needs at the moment. Jurgen Klinsmann and his epic journey with Germany in '06 springs up in my mind. He revitalised Germany and Shearer could do something similar maybe with England...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 By the way, shouldn't it be Baldwin rather than Barlow ? Maybe a closer resemblence, but Baldwin was far to exciting and feisty a character to be compared. That fella stood in the tunnel under his brolly had Barlow written all over him.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 At least there's no hurry. Might even be worth waiting until the end of the season when the merry go round would open more opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I almost feel sorry for McLaren. Hardly a top club manager and completely out of his depth at international level. That doesn't excuse the players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer would have to be even more insane to take the England job than he would be to take the Newcastle one (and frankly the FA would have to be insane, or incredibly desperate, to offer it too). I think an FA backed program to clone Sir Bobby has a better chance of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(what he could and did do as England manger was rebuild successive England teams, in some cases in mid competition, to be reasonable successful) Yeah he did pretty well in the end. But I don't really see his reign as being that of a golden age of English soccer and in some ways he was a lucky manager. He failed to qualify for the Euros in 84, in 86 he only picked Beardsley because Mark fucking Hately got injured and we were awful in Euro '88. Even in Italia 90 we were more than a little fortunate against Cameroon and Belgium and I think the use of the sweeper system was a lucky break too. I mean he'd never used it before. It paid off though. He was relatively successful which says a lot about how poor England have been since 1970 which was probably the last time we were a real top class side. I think anyone would struggle with the current crop of player though. They really are overrated and the lack of depth was really highlighted last night too.
