[MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I think that the biggest question in football today, is will Harry Redknapp take the job of England's new manager.

I have been a big fan of football for many years and seen some great managers over the years managing at International level and club level.

Being a Spurs fan for over thirty years, We have a manager that has produced a magical wand in turning Spurs from relegation candidates into Champions League football again and quite possible the Premier League Title. And yet could Harry fulfil the role as England manager.

My answer is no, He doesn't have international experience of running a country, which is big must. Also to me he has medical problems which could cause a lot of problems, he was treated for a heart condition several months ago, and the pressure that he will be under, will be immense, whereas Pearce has been there for a long time.

Also, l would bring in either Hodgson or Mourinho, who have the experience of being under great pressure, Mourinho with Chelsea, and Hodgson has managed some big international sides.

I know that Harry, is the fans choice, but is the job really that worth it, what do other members think.

I think the job should go to Pearce, who is the under 21 manager

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Why would any sane manager want to take the England as it is a poisoned chalice.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Agreed,

Football is a complete joke at the moment with more legal issues than a day in the local crown court. It reminds me of some of the worst soap operas ;)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Yes like who shot JR.:)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I'm new here so be kind.
Harry Redknapp will want to finish the season with spurs in the champion's league,
then he'll be England manager. IMO

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

As he has just been in court even though he was found innocent I think that will prevent the FA from giving him the job because oddly dirt tends to stick especially in he minds of the media.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

If the right amount of money is offered to keep everyone happy I'm sure he'll take it.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I saw somewhere, but can't remember where. He would get 2.5 million less then capello.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

You could always ask your favourite manager to take the job thenry.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Wengar doesn't want the England job;)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

He'll be Frances manager soon. Blanc is on his way out the door.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Aren't England playing France soon?

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Have you asked him.:)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

He was asked on sky sports news.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

First off I'm a Spurs fan.

He's a fool if he stays, and a fool if he goes.

Being the England is a blesing and a curse, win and the crowd love you, lose and you public enemy number 1.

With that said I'm of mixed views, I would love Spurs to win he league and the HR to take on the England job, the win the World Cup in 2014.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Ah SSN that hyperbole of invented speculation:D.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

IMO Redknapp get's his player's playing like a team and for the shirt.
Saying that I'm a Rangers fan.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Yes Harry has done a fantastic job.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I have an idea why do England not look to italy for a manager offer shed loads of cash and hey presto all the woes will be solved.:erm::erm:

On a different note Harry Redknapp is bound to come cheap after all at his trial he said he was not interested in money.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I'm guessing but your not the biggest fan of sky.:shocked:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Its just that the SSN channel tends to exaggerate things to such a effect that everyman and his dog then believes it.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Jim White :rolleyes:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Yes he is one that springs to mind.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I think if HR goes for the England job, it will be the worst decision he will make.

Everyone knows that the England job takes a lot of pressure, from the fans, the press and worst of all the TV commentators (which are the worst going and know nothing about football).

HR is a brilliant manager, and if he stays at Tottenham, Spurs will be a top side for years and this is what HR wants.

I know that l might be cruel, but l have supported Spurs through think and thin, l was there the night we had to beat or draw with Leeds to stay up in the old First Division and Chivers got the goal we needed. We have had some great managers.
Nicholson, Pleat, Burkinshaw, and Martin Jol ( l won't mention the rest as they were useless).

Under Rednapp, we can be the United or Chelsea, if he goes to England, which l think he won't, it will be the worst decision possible and l would urge Daniel Levy to get his check book out and make him the highest paid manager possible.

IF, he did go, l would go back for Martin Jol.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I just watch it for the eye candy;)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

You naughty boy.:nono::naughty:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I reckon if HR stay's, spurs will be title contender's within the next 2 year's.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

No l am not sure they will be able to compete with one or two clubs and the problem is can they hold on to players like Modric, Van Der Vaart and Bale.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Modric wanted away last year because spurs weren't in the champion's league. but he's changed his tune. IMO Modric, Bale and Van Der Vaart will stay as long as spurs are in the champion's league.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Well we shall see come the summer whether that holds true.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

The only way those three player's will go is if either a team like Real Madrid or another team like Barcelona offer an obscene amount of wonga for them.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Redknapp comes cheap, but it's paying his dog that ends up costing the money.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

One of the richest dog's on God's green earth.:waving:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Very Good.:D:D:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Modric, Bale and VDV can't leave anyway, they are all on long term contracts, and IF Levy say's they aren't going, then they won't - remember we are no longer a feeder club.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Long term contracts and players loyalty Arthur are not worth the the paper they are written on and thats a reality:td:.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Every single player in world football has a price. Some more than other's.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Steve Cotterill for England.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

England schoolboys perhaps.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

On ssn the other day Pep Guardiola was 25/1 to get England job. Hell will freeze over if the FA try to get him.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Your aiding Den and his SSN views.

Anywho Pep will be the next Arsenal manager :)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I would happily see Pep as Rangers manager;)

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

:rofl:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I hope whoever wants the Spurs players have got deep pockets;

Modric £60million

Bale £80million (and thats cheap)

Van Der Vaart £40million

If Carroll is worth £35million, then thats the figure above.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I agree that Bale is worth a lot of money but maybe not £80 million.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Now Arthur you have not been playing at that casino again have you.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I just wish...

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

:D:D:tu:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

You cant compare a midfielder to a striker, when more often than not the striker will go for more dosh.:dunce:

OFF TOPIC
But ssn are reporting that Rangers the most successfull football team in world football, has gone into administration.:bigcry:

The Next England Manager
 

Who do you think it might be, or, who do you want ?
Anyone else, post in this thread

Re: The Next England Manager
 

l would like to see Jose Mourinho take the job as here is a man who has won trophies at the highest level and although Harry nice man he is has never hardly won anything at all.

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Could not vote as there was no option for Mick McCarthy.!:Sprint::Sprint::Sprint:

Re: The Next England Manager
 

HR = England
JM = Spurs

;)

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Pardew!

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Harry or Mike Bassett.. the real one not Nazi Joey Bartons Bassett!

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Who's he.:D

Re: The Next England Manager
 

I'd have to agree.

I don't subscribe to the notion that the manager has to be English. He does however have to be able to communicate with his players and everyone else clearly and confidently, and that's where Capello failed so miserably.

Re: The Next England Manager
 

David and Victoria Beckham.

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Stuart Pearce has been groomed for the England Job for years now and is in the perfect position to bring the youngsters that he has nurtured through the under 21's into the new England squad that will needed after the Euros as a number of senior players are coming to the end of their international careers.

Re: The Next England Manager
 

My own honest opinion is l don't think Stuart Pearce is good enough for the top England job as one one he was under Capello and that was by all accounts a disaster and two when he was a club manager he was not exactly a great success there neither.

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Not that i know that much about football,but Stuart Pearce looks as though he will be being "groomed" for the England job until the day he retires.:erm:

Re: The Next England Manager
 

I am not sure Harry will take the job, it is a poison challis at best. Harry likes to be everyone's friend and that includes being best friends with the press, this will not happen as we all know that once the players pull on the England Jersey they forget they are footballers.;)

Re: The Next England Manager
 

He won't be the next England manager as the euro's clash with the olympics where he's managing team GB ;)

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Benitez :D

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Well at least he can speak better English then Capello so the players might just understand him that little bit more.:)

Re: The Next England Manager
 

Terry Venables - wont do it
Alan Pardew - not a chance in hell
David Beckham - wants to play not manage
Mark Hughes - fergie wannabe
Alan Shearer- no enough managment experiance
Steve Bruce - gets fired too much
David Moyes - good manager and does stand a chance
Gareth Southgate - does stand a chance but wont get it
Glenn Hoddle - i would never support England ever again
Rafa Benitez - same as above
Sam Allardyce - good manager aswell but we would never win anything with him
Roy Hodgson - relegation manager only
Guus Hiddink - good manager
Stuart Pearce - good aswell does stand a chance but i dont like him
Jose Mourinho - probably one of two i want as england manager until he takes over for fergie at old trafford.
Harry Redknapp - defo for me or Mourinho the only two i think could do anything with england.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Did anyone notice on Sky Sports HD1 that beside the interactive red button it say's La Liga. It's a Real Madrid match.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Harry Redknapp should stay at Tottenham, England should take a wild card and appoint Hope Powell, who is manager of the England's Women's team!

Re: The Next England Manager
 

The FA should pick a wildcard and pick Hope Powell!

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Well thats your daftest suggestion you have made so far Alan.:D

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I am not keen on HR doing it, also she has managed the Englands Women's team for a long time as well

Re: The Next England Manager
 

:nono::nono:

Re: The Next England Manager
 

might as well hand Kymmy the job.

Arsenals Vic Akers could do it lol won everything with the Arsenal ladies :rolleyes:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

And won zilch.

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Same as all the others then :shrug:

re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

As England manager true.
At least Capello, Mclaren, Eriksson had won things before coming England manger. For all the good it did them...

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Yes it really depends a lot on the quality of players you have at your disposal.

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Presumably it was the Jocks and Taffs that voted for Southgate, Bruce, Shearer and Beckham btw...

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

I doubt the Jocks and Taffs care enough to vote..

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

We need both players and mangaers do work well together

It will take time before the changes to the England football are known

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Yeah they are probably to busy finding an affinity for a team to support in the finals, must have been girls then.

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Pathetic :)

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

It's football banter and mild at that [mod edit]

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

Re: [MERGED] The England Manager thread
 

No need to have an affinity, anyone playing England will do me :D

But on a more serious side, I'm just looking forward to some good games..quite excited :D
