New England Manager
 
What a fickle lot you Anglos are.

Steve McLaren wins a few games in Europe and is top of the picking list. His best Middlesborough defender says he should not be made manager. He looses an FA semi and the first leg Euro semi. So now he's now in second spot for the job.

Worst of all, you let the gutter press hound the best managers out of the job. I look forward to the next prune getting hounded out.

I've never been in favour of McLaren to get the job. In my ideal world, El Tel should have the job back. If not, Alan Shearer would be a top choice. But we'll probably end up with another bloody foreigner...which I think for our nationla side, is plain wrong-diddly-wrong wrong.

It's obvious why the England players should be English (or at least be connected to England), but I've alway wondered why that rule does not apply to managers.

The current crop arent good enough, so it would be a little hasty introducing such a rule at this point in time.

You should have went for O'Neill. Afterall, England has been plundering Ireland for over 700 years and one more steal of our national treasures would hardly make a difference ;)

Absolutely. And in return, we let you compose the Republic and Northern Ireland sides out of the wannabees who aren't quite good enough to play for a real national team. Thank goodness for the 'one grandparent' rule, eh? ;)

Terry Venables and Alan Shearer are non-starters. One if over the hill and the other is too inexperienced.

I'd go for Big Sam !

Agreed. Though its such a pity that some of those grandparents didnt exercise safe sex. And I wont name names, because that would be unfair on the likes of Casarino and Morrison. Whoops.

Where you will fail miserably as usual I imagine. Our world cup record isn't bad, the smallest nation ever to reach the quarter finals.

What was it like to be beaten by a country with a population a million less than Greater Manchester?
