Bizza Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 This is what happens when you get someone who ran a biscuit company to pick an England manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaAltieri Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I can only imagine that the logic here is: "We've tried to pick good managers, but we just keep getting worse. Should we try to pick the worst possible manager and see if the reverse happens?" FA board meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 His first squad will be interesting. Wonder if there will be a coaching role for Nolan. Coaching role? Starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Any odds on how many so called stars will "retire" from England? Could see Rooney jacking it in from now that his place is under threat from Defoe ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Think it was Wullie that nailed it, he'll stutter along to qualification where the FA will just hope he makes us hard to beat and he does a Greece or Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 FA board consisting of 12...get that 12! all considered him to ve the best man for the job. That's not incompetence..that's taking the p***. Think even Lee Clark would have been a better option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Terrible manager - no wonder England are shit all the time when they keep appointing people of this standard They actually keep appointing people much better than this, so I'm not looking forward to what happens next.

Tooj Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 "The British press, like it or not, are probably the most intensely passionate about the game in the world and that has a spill-over effect," he said. "The consequence of which is people probably play not to make a mistake, as opposed to play to win. "So the new manager's got to be someone who can inspire people to get the best out of themselves." Yup, Allardyce totally fits that bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Dont really know what the FA are thinking like but in some ways I see why he could be a pretty good choice but only because I se it in the way that England are pretty shit and full of one dimensional players who only have one or two good attributes then thats it. The only players who have a decent set of attributes are probably Smalling, Rooney, Sturridge and Barkley and none of them are world class the rest just stand out for their clubs because they fit an ideal role. Allardyce knows how to set a team up and get players to perform to their best qualities so I think would be good in a tournament type scenario, I just dont reckon the FA thought it through like that though.

Wullie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Think it was Wullie that nailed it, he'll stutter along to qualification where the FA will just hope he makes us hard to beat and he does a Greece or Portugal. Yet they don't seem to realise the calibre of manager that it even took to manage those victories. Otto Rehhagel has three Bundesliga titles and a European trophy, amongst a host of other cups Fernando Santos has a Portuguese league title and several other trophies. Sam Allardyce finished 6th once then got knocked out of Europe early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 And he's worked with about 4 international-level footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 And he's worked with about 4 international-level footballers. He signed Jay-Jay Okocha tbf, and he counts for about 10. So good they named him twice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Some pretty exciting young talent coming through for England, and they have entrusted Allardyce with utilising them to their full potential. Insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 He's an egotistical cunt, which is probably something we need in an England manager in my opinion. Someone who just does what he thinks is best, because he's a strong-willed individual. There's a slight downfall of this theory though, given what Sam Allardyce thinks is best, is undoubtedly terrible in every way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Worst England manager appointment for a long time. He's done pretty much fuck all and is known to setup for some awful football displays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
