Ronaldo

I do.

You people.

What is then? Winning the Champions League as the best player in the world for the second time?

You're such a weirdo.

The internet in Ghana has broken again. Portugal look awful, mind.

Against Italy and Uruguay we failed to attack as a team or defend as a team.

Souness took us and Liverpool back years. His record at top level (and no, Turkey and Scotland doesn't constitute top level) is awful.

Shearer, Lee Clark, O'Leary, even Kinnear. Anything to burst this arsehole's fraudulent bubble.

Howay South Korea.

Clear based on what? Hoddle and Venables did better jobs with inferior squads than Sven and Capello.

It does. I think too many English players at top level retire and live it up. Booze, the golf course, the Caribbean, wherever. Can't blame them too much for that. At the same time I think club's attach too much significance to playing careers in making managerial appointments. Honestly, if it had to be an English coach I'd give it to Hoddle.

No it wouldn't. As long as results and performance were good , this country would get behind anyone. Except the Neanderthal East End type xenophobes who you do see at England games. The ones that wax lyrical about Bomber Harris and not surrendering to the IRA. And their opinion counts for nowt. The media would have the swords ready at every slip. They rightly wouldn't accept someone unproven in any case.

Not now. At very least there has to be a link to English football. An understanding of English players, the media and footballing culture. Benitez and Ancelotti have both said they'd like the job at some point. There's no need to start looking at unproven appointments that would never be accepted anyway.

I'm sure Santoon lives in a cave with leccy and wifi, like. Decent enough footballing knowledge but zero comprehension of the human variables that surround the game.

For similar reasons to why the nationality of the players do. Arseholes like Shola Ameobi and Diego Costa muddying the waters not withstanding.

Thankfully that ship has sailed. He'll be 71 by the next WC.

It would just inflame an ailing connection between the national team and the media and fans. It would inevitably end badly setting the team back further and risk hurting the interest of potential appointments. Not to mention the fact there's a pool of good managers out there who'd want the job, far more proven and suitable than Klopp or any other German.

Xenophobia, man. Do one. There's absolutely no xenophobia in saying that the manager should be the same nationality as the players (not that I particularly agree with that) or that a German coach wouldn't work as manager of England.

Whatev. Some things just aren't right, for a variety of reasons.

Nah, I'd love Rafa to get it. Great manager.

I'm pretty amazed any Englishman would be in favour of it.

Why imagine that? We made derisory offers for James Perch and (allegedly) Rob Elliot.

If Shearer was a decade younger and took Owen's place in the side I think we'd have won a tournament with Sven. Probably the '06 WC. That's all we were really lacking, someone up top to really rise when it mattered. Owen went missing like the cowardly little boy he is.

So the only an Englishman should manage England postion. Not that I'm disagreeing with the relevance for many, but for me that's a part of the problem we have. See, I never said that. I don't think it should be limited to English managers. A proper coaching setup would be better.

I'm repeating myself, but it's the national side and nationality becomes relevant.
