Should the next England manager be English?

There's no way in a month of sundays that the FA would employ Harry anyway (regardless of whether he had won the Champions League 10 times in a row with Athletico Clapton) cos he is just seen as too dodgy.
 
There aren't many decent English options – Shearer would instill a bit of passion and pride in the team but he has no experience, while Harry Redknapp comes with a bit too much "baggage".

With O'Neil and Mourinho ruling themselves out, it looks like a straight fight between Klinsmann and Capello. Both have their problems though – it's doubtful Klinsmann would move over here from his base in California, while Capello doesn't speak English. I'd be more than happy with either of them, though, and having a German England boss would get up all the right noses! :)
 
I don't really give a shit but if they're desperate for an English manager I wouldn't mind too much if they took Dave Basset from us.

The FA must be kicking themselves for not going for O'Neill last time.
 
I don't give a toss whther the next manager is English or not, as long as he does a decent job.

At least Sven got us to the Quarter Finals of every tournament we could enter.

Terry Venables
Stuart Pearce
...and yes even reviving Bobby Robson.

El Tel was macs right hand man and is a loser and Psycho got sacked by Citeh and is a loser. Robson is terminally ill. You are worse than Brian Barwick:eek: :eek:
No English manager working today has actually won anything. The last one to actually compete for anything was Keegan and he had no balls.

Capello, Lippi, Scolari. 2 World Cups, Champions Leagues and titles in Italy, Spain and Brazil.
Or McLaren, Pearce, Shearer, Allardyce and Curbishly.. um, a League Cup?
:D
 
There is no English manager with the record, stature nor respect within the field to take on the England job.

Harry Redknapp and Sam Allardyce don't have the record at the very highest level to make it count.

Venables has just got the sack so he won't come back - and he was part of the discredited old setup

Pearce and Shearer are too inexperienced manager-wise and don't have significant enough playing experience at European level - i.e. playing regular Champions League football, to give them an understanding about the sort of teams and tactics that they'll come up against on the international stage.

I'd go for someone who:
a) Has a track record of success
b) Significant experience internationally
c) Really wants the job
