Wullie Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The whole 'England need an english manager' is shit like. Allardyce has done nothing in his career to suggest he could lead an international side. The only reason he is being considered is because of his nationality. I do think England should have an English manager like, I tend to think the rules should be the same for managers as for players. I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with a nationalist view when it comes to the national football team. The other major footballing nations in Europe (league-wise) wouldn't dream of hiring a foreigner. That said, I think we should be hiring a foreigner right now because the options available are absolutely pathetic and that reflects so so badly on football in this country. The issue is the fact that while the other major leagues in Europe produce top managers on a very regular basis, England continues to lag embarrassingly far behind, to the point where the only 3 English managers in the entire division finished in the 3 places just above the relegation zone (Eddie Howe has an obvious reason for that). There's a major problem somewhere, though I don't profess to know what the answer is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That's because the English managers are never given a chance at the top clubs, silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Agree Wullie. For me though, the fact that English management is in such a poor place is even more of a reason for the FA to give the job to an Englishman. Not fucking Sam Allardyce though.

Its all well and good saying we need an English manager, but the options available are shite Allardyce is not good enough for the role, but hes English so he might get it.

If he gets a similar deal to Hodgson he'll be the highest paid manager in international football. Give me strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Toon Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 If the chewing gum addict does get the job then I wonder which stooge the inbreds will get next. Whoever it is, they'll only last until January at the latest until they replace him for another boost in search of gaining that 17th place trophy target again.

That's bad that is. Even someone as footballingly inept as Lee Charnley fluked a decision right now and then with Rafa the proof.

Wullie Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It might not matter too much who the next boss is tbh, not now that Stoke reserves are going to be playing in the Johnstone's Paint trophy. Triumph in Russia is all but guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If they employ this buffoon it's clear the FA have learnt absolutely fucking nothing. Although it would be funny to see the Mackems have to search around, I wonder if their lack of activity thus far in the transfer market has been down to some kind of apathy from Fat face, who is arrogant enough to think "why bother I have the England job lined up".

Sima Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 2018 is going to be grim. Shit team, shit manager, in a shit country. As long as we still have Rafa. Might not even qualify. That would be laughs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Bet Sunderland end up hiring a decent manager after Allardyce. I just have this feeling. Allardyce will destroy England. Well, destroy it more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 As someone who doesn't support England, this is great. As someone who wants this to drag out & screw Sunderland over, this is great. But Sam's smugness.... terrible idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
