Village Idiot Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It will be a great time to manage England after the EC. It's too late to shake the squad so close to the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 worried spurs fan just sent me this..... Here's one out of left field for you New England Manager should be David Beckham (maybe with Pearce as No2) Is English Knows what it means to play for England Knows current crop of players Loved by the fans Brilliant with the media Strong work ethic Knows what it takes to win trophies Can speak English (fairly well) I agree with him to some extent, but for world cup DB would be out of his depth. The FA wont gamble like this??? HE could probably lead team to olympic glory, but so what= intertoto cup win. That's a joke, isn't it? Never in 1000000000000000000000000000000000000 years.

Beren Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 No one wants the job It's a crap time to manage England. Horrible unathletic CBs. Technically limited CMs. No standout goalscoring strikers. Some horrible egos in the dressing room, too. Hardly any prep time. Prob a decent buck in it though - surprised Sven isn't re-applying Agree with Venkman and Neil's earlier posts, too. Rooney/Wellbeck Oxlade-Chamberlain Sturridge/Johnson Wilshere Parker Cleverley Cole Smalling P Jones Richards This is a great time to manage England if you have the balls to play a young, technical team like above. That'd be a good team to play to give them experience for the next tournament but that'd never happen. There's no long-term strategy with England/the FA. We play individual tournaments. Your will team be stuffed with Lampards, Barrys, Milners, Terrys, Bents, Rios, Downings etc Even if we did blood that team, they'd be fortunate to make the quarters this time around.

Dr Venkman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why are you surprised? It's the same cycle every few years. indeed, they'll all be crying out for 'international pedigree' when we bomb out of the euro's and the next world cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If he thinks John Terry should be captain that's conclusive proof he's not up to the job anyway. They should ask that in the interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Quite frankly F.A. can pick who ever they want aslong they stay the f*ck away from Pardew, last thing we need is another manager change ffs. Club > Country for me these days would much rather see my club win a trophy than my country. Oh if he reinstated Terry i would laugh my f*cking ass off, what a bloody farce that would be.

Dealbreaker? why would he demand that? Was just something mentioned/questioned on TS this morning on way to work, and got me thinking. Probably more likely he'd toe the line, and just appoint Parker as new captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 There's a friendly against Holland (whatever, Greg) at the end of this month. I bet Pearce will take caretaker charge of that game. I can then see them asking Redknapp to come in to work together with Pearce for the final two friendlies and him taking over officially for the Euros. 1 down, 2 to go.

Guest je85 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I wonder if Rafa Benitez is being seriously considered. Tactically astute, done well in European tournaments with Liverpool, settled in England and wouldn't cost the compensation Harry would require as Levy will certainly drive a hard bargain.
