[chavy]

[MiG16]

leave Arsene out of that list

leave Arsene out of that list

He can do both

Ive never liked to share you know that....

It had crossed my mind

[LeungKen]

O.K. Guys & Gals here's a suggestion that (IMHO) merits some consideration.

If the positition calls for some to give their heart and soul to the game,

someone who is 100% commited,

someone who has never felt constrained to speak his mind.

I give you.................

Roy Keane

[chavy]

But he's a paddy

[mrbojangles]

Roy Keane

Nooooooooooo. Please nooooooo

I don't think Jose would take it. He has the same problem that Sven had. He can only pick English players

According to the BBC this morning, O'Neil has been given permission to talk to the FA if they sack McClaren.

[chavy]

Certainly add a touch of life to the bench if he took it on.

[Jockstar]

Great manager and was keen on the job before. Personally i dont think its a good move for him. If things go wrong as they often do. People cry about him not being English.

[mrtoad]

If they had done the right thing the last time then we wouldn't be in this prediciment now. The FA are a complete bunch of morons.

Personally, I'd have liked Hiddink as he has an excellent international track record (Proven), but that is unlikely as he has signed a new contract recently.

Moronio is available, and to be fair I think he would be the best person, but wether he's interested is another thing. Wegner would be good, but why would he want to leave Arsenal. O'Neil, not sure, but certainly has the passion, but unproven at international level.

The old duffersat Soho square have got to get this one right thgis time.

[martaway]

Agree with Mr.Toad re. Hiddink

He should have been given the job before Mcclaren

International experience is crucial.

p.s Bristol City 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree about Hiddink. he took netherlands to the semi back in 98 (at a time when it looked like holland still was amongst the top teams...but now thats another story altogether....) and did it again with South korea...i never paid attention to the korean football prior to that....i mean they were good for asian teams, but after that round he certainly put them also on the world map.

Wenger would be good, but why would he want to leave Arsenal.

^^ very well said

Hiddink also did a terrific job with Australia and the way things are going is also doing a terrific job with Russia.

Sammy Lee's available !!!!!!

I'd like to see Steve Coppell give it a go. Look what he has done at Reading with no money and not a lot of talented players. Excellent at managing the hand he gets dealt.

He couldn't hack it at Man City for one day

Agree with that. I think he would find the pressure too much, and he wouldn't be able to take his regular jaunts to Thailand either.

Shssss Toadie, that was for your ears only

[Suszzy]

Jose Mourinho.

it would be nice to have him as England manager.

[warriors]

MOT We are not letting him go to win all his games at England.

WIN WIN WIN

MOT

Leeds forever.

It was interesting listening to Hiddink (it always is) on the radio this morning saying that if the new contract with the Russian FA is suitable then he'd be staying on as their national manager.

But if not, then next to Wenger and Mourinho I wouldn't mind him taking over. Oh to be spoilt for choice.

But a curse be on those that think that Israel will give a good account of themselves against Russia - a poisoned chalice of false hopes if you ask me.

Even in the unlikely event that they did get a draw and England beat Croatia - McClaren should still walk, imo.

What about that Swedish chap that's doing so well at Man City?

They had their chance to keep him. He's now concentrating on conquering the world, with us

I think "The Winner Takes It All" would be more apt
