The England thread

[Marcos]

Could be worse, you could be Scottish !

[Hobo]

It'll be fun when Capello is blamed for England going out of the Euros because his resignation upset the players or something. I guess it's nice to have an excuse.

[Matt]

Blackcuntgate (I can only assume that's what it's being called) would've been the excuse anyway.

[Adam]

Problem is, I can't think of any out of work experienced managers.

[Starvinho]

Fuck it we should get Sven back.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Man, I'm becoming like the Liverpool fans from back in the day - I'd rather Harry stayed at Spurs and succeeded than went to work as England manager.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

At least Sven always got us to quarter finals.

[brenchill]

You can't knock Sven. I'd rather have him back than Redknapp.

Fuck appointing a "fall guy" to take us through the Euro's. I'd like to see some conviction from the FA and see them appoint the man they want to take us through to World Cup 2014 now instead of later.

This whole "The people want Redknapp" shit reminds me too much of Kevin Keegan's appointment. Sure, 'Arry's English and sure he's got character, but he's won absolutely fuck all at club level, barring one FA Cup.

[Gazz]

MOURINHO!

[brenchill]

Jose Mourinho would be brilliant but I can't see it happening.

If I were the FA, I'd be banging Guus Hiddink's door down this morning.

By that logic we'll never have an English manager again, though.

[The Lusophone]

I'll do it for £30, 000 a year and all the crisp you can get me.

Bring back McLaren.

Would that be so bad? At least going with foreign managers until there's an English manager whose actully won something bar one FA Cup. If Mourinho wants the job (or is willing to take £6-8Mill a year to take it) are we really going to go with Redknapp over him because he's English?

[MDK]

What about...

[SeanDMan]

He's standing next to a black man, clearly he's too tolerant for the England squad of today.

[SeanDMan]

Anyway, I think my defeat of Arsenal with Bristol Rovers qualifies me, and I'm Canadian, which is like a bastard English stepchild, so I could fake being English easily enough. SDM IN.

[Summers]

What about...

Joint best football manager gif ever.

This is the ultimate Mick McCarthy video:

That led me to find this:

Which has a great comment posted to it:

Makes a solid point here though to be fair.
