“That’s Harry. Harry’s the helicopter man. Harry’s a naughty boy. He’s a very naughty boy, very naughty. He shows his bottom and all sorts.”

He seriously said this?

I am shocked. Deeply, deeply shocked.

Why do you hate Stoker so much in wishing the England job on him?

This! You're so awful, Benji.

Can't be much worse than our current squad. Plus we would have the youngest squad in competitions with you in charge. Plus I'm sure you could have a conversation with Big Sam and make some money via third party ownership when the kids value increases thanks to the power of an England cap. 

We already have the youngest squad in competitions. Average age of the England squad at the Euros was the lowest by a fair margin.

It baffles me a great deal that Glenn Hoddle keeps being suggested, he was one of the bookies favourites when Hodgson left and it just makes no sense to me. Awful idea.

I think Wenger would be the ideal choice, and I also don't think it'll happen.

I like Steve McLaren saying it could happen to anyone, good to have confirmation that managers sit around taking bungs and making fun of the way each other speak.

Interestingly, Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart are not only England players but business partners of Big Sam's in a hotel investment group.

Wow! Rooney and Hart are footballers from England?!

I never said they were from England!

It's Wenger in and then Wenger out and then Wenger shake it all about.... no pleasing Arsenal fans

I'd be happy with Wenger as England manager and I think he'd seriously consider it. I can't see him managing at club level again after Arsenal and a lighter schedule at international level would be ideal. 

Plus...least we would always qualify for the Euros, we wouldn't win it but we would qualify

Haha. Don't include me in the Wenger out section! 

Qualifying is basically a trophy in itself, and England have been waiting years for one!

[MDK]

I'd take Wenger

[Kyle]

I'd take any competent foreign coach at this point. The obsession with having English managers has done us no good.

Are we to use this thread for the widening scandal or another one?

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino and Barnsley's assistant boss Tommy Wright have now been revealed to be implicated. Wright's already been suspended by his club.

[Walker]

I think we should give up. England can't football. Close it down. Close it all down.

[Lineker]

@Adam let's use this one.

Not Cellino?!? Absolutely stunned.

Barnsley have sacked Tommy Wright

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has the unanimous support of the QPR board after an internal investigation.

The investigation began after Hasselbaink was filmed by undercover Daily Telegraph reporters, with the newspaper alleging the Dutchman requested a fee of £55,000 to work for a fake south-east Asia firm seeking to sell players to the club.

Hasselbaink denied wrongdoing and Rangers, who said they had not been provided with information requested from the newspaper, have backed him.

“Throughout the comprehensive investigation, the club contacted and communicated with all the major parties involved, including the Telegraph, who failed to provide the club with the information requested,” the club said in a statement.

“Despite a number of requests from the club and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s legal team for the information relating to the inferences made on September 28th, including video footage and a full transcript of the discussions that took place, nothing has been forthcoming.

“As a result, and in the absence of any further evidence, the board fully back QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and his explanations relating to these inferences.

“Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink openly admitted he was naive and, as such, has been reminded of his roles and responsibilities as manager of Queens Park Rangers. He remains fully focused on his job as QPR manager, and he does so with the board’s unanimous support.”
