O/T Capello Resigns / New England Manager Speculation Thread

really don't see why they give the full time job to Stuart Pearce, he would be a fantastic England manager

didnt the fa did say they were going to sort of 'groom' him into the manager through the u21s? i think they said promote from within, that was a few years ago
 
I don't think that was the case. Jol and Levy were having problems BEFORE Jol went to Saudi Sportswashing Machine for a job interview. I also think Jol's interview was mere posturing trying to get Levy to do the right thing, which was offer him a proper contract. It could well be that Levy never forgave him, but in truth Levy probably never forgave Jol for being Arnesen's boy.

I say again - live by the sword, die by the sword. Whatever the history of Jol's initial employment by Spurs and his subsequent relationship with Daniel Levy, the moment he held those secretive talks with Saudi Sportswashing Machine, he lost all right to justifiable moral indignation about Spurs doing similar with Ramos.
 
The FA would be incredibly stupid not to appoint Harry at this point, and I can't see him turning England down. I think our squad is so good that it would be an accomplishment not to finish in the top four this season, but Harry has put all my doubt to shame this season and I would hate to see him go before the summer. That said, I don't think the day will come when I'm convinced Harry is a manager we want at our club for a very long period of time, so I think others will be more downhearted than me by this.
 
Jol was/is a decent manager. But most of the love for him stems from the fact he is funny as hell. Under Harry we have moved well beyond the Jol era. If he goes we really need to get the next appointment right. So frustrating though, things seemingly going so well and yet all this explodes.
 
I really dont, youve watched too many 9/11 conspiracy shows fella

Call me a theorist if you like for not believing everything stated in the papers, but I doubt The Sun is 100% factual buddy I hate to break it to you

He did refuse to play him, which kind of proves that it was a good thing he left so early in his reign as Carrick was the fulcrum that lead us to 5th the following season. Anyone who didn't want Carrick at the club clearly was a footballing dunce 8-[

Put Carrick and Berba in our current squad and we'd have the title sewn up by now.
 
To be an international manager, you don't need to be a good coach. Players abilities and development are made or ruined by their clubs anyway. Rather you need to have excellent man management skills and good tactical awareness. The man management is important as you need your players to be motivated and giving 100% at just the right time before the tournament starts. Whilst the tactical knowledge will allow us to outfox better teams. Harry is not a good coach/trainer but he is a brilliant motivator and a good reactive tactictian; he does seem like the man fit for the job unfortunately for us
 
If his under 21 sides are anything to go by, it would be a bit of a disaster.

This. Playing utterly horrible football with some surprisingly talented youngsters. The U21 championships were fudging embarassing.

Played dire football at City as well.

Would be a truly awful appointment
 
Hoddle can't deal with modern footballer's ego issues

Hence he will be a great coach in the championship, potentially crash and burn with top 4 or international teams.
