Sir Alex Ferguson Just for the World Cup and to set things in motion. Then whichever English manager has just hd a half decent season in the premier league, if there are any left.
Shearer unsubtly chucked his hat in the ring on BBC "highlights". Yes I did watch them. Just to convince myself it did really happen.
Hoddle for me too, he knows what he's talking about! Proved it on the commentary, although I think Southgate will get it, he's already the favourite. It has to be an English man, I don't give a **** if we never win a game, I'd rather that than have another Sven or Capello!
Apparently they are going to appoint from within to demonstrate the 'system' is working? Wow! What system? I didn't think anything worked. It requires a new broom and not someone who has been subjected to that style of chaos type play.
It'll be Southgate, who I don't think has succeeded at any management job he's had so far, but he shows willing and is in the club. There's very little choice out there, but I'd go for someone with genuine pedigree as an ex-England player, and someone who will get England playing with some heart again. We don't do pragmatic football very well, our players are not that type. We're always better being direct, playing it down the flanks and battling in a gutsy way. We're probably never gonna win a tournament, but it's a shame we no longer seem to go out with a fight anymore, not since the 90's really. That's all I'd like to see, have a proper go again, and if it's still not good enough, at least we gave it everything. We had those qualities under Robson, Venables & Hoddle - I'd like to see it again. Shearer? I know he has no experience, but he is an ex-England captain and surely cares deeply. Maybe it's time to think a little differently, no more defensive Swedes or Italians or middling English managers who did ok with unfashionable teams. Worth a try perhaps, we've just hit our lowest low so the only way is up.
That's the problem right there, the FA. Remember the newspaper headlines when Cappelo was appointed, the disiplinarian with headmasters hat and cane. tried something new for a few games the reverted to the same old big clubs big players. Was that him or directions from above?
I found this to be funny. http://www.skysports.com/share/10327052 If it's in one of the other threads I apologise. I can't copy & paste the text off my phone ... If someone fancies the job?
Alan Shearer says he would like to speak to the Football Association about succeeding Roy Hodgson as England manager. The former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker says he held talks with the FA "four or five years ago" but was not appointed then because of his lack of experience. Hodgson resigned on Monday night after Iceland beat England 2-1 in Nice to knock them out of Euro 2016, a performance described by Jamie Carragher as "shambolic". Current Under-21s boss Gareth Southgate is a leading contender to replace Hodgson, and Shearer also said he would be keen on working alongside his former England team-mate as he delivered a brutal assessment of the national side's latest tournament capitulation. "I went to see the FA four or five years ago and I said, 'I want it, I'll have that job'," Shearer, whose only managerial experience to date is a two-month spell at Newcastle in 2009, told the BBC. "They looked at me and said, 'No, it's a lack of experience'. And I said, 'You've hired experienced guys, you've paid them an absolute fortune, I could not have done any worse than those guys'. "I'd definitely speak to them, absolutely. I would offer my experience and tournament experience. "Even if Gareth Southgate got it, for him to take players in with experience who've been there and done it, then that has to be of benefit also." Shearer won 63 caps for his country from 1992 to 2000, scoring 30 goals. He won the Golden Boot at Euro 96 after scoring five goals in the tournament on home soil. On England's performance on Monday night, he added: "That was the worst performance I've ever seen from an England team. Ever. "We were out-fought, out-thought, out-battled and totally hopeless for 90 minutes. I said after the three group games that England weren't good enough - I didn't see enough. "It looked to me like Roy was making it up as he was going along. It was tactically inept. "How can he pick Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere? We had players in the squad who didn't deserve to be there. Manchester City's winger Raheem Sterling hasn't performed. We can go on and on. Then there was Tottenham striker Harry Kane on corners - the list is endless. "Our players caved tonight. We've all played under pressure, they caved and the manager caved. He gave Manchester United teenage striker Marcus Rashford four minutes and he still did more than anyone else. "We are blinded by the Premier League, we think it's the best in the world for talent, it's not. We are totally reliant for foreign players and managers for excitement. We are not as good as we think we are."
I don't want foreign as the manager, in my opinion should be English. But we have options; it's Eddie Howe for me, as he has youth and energy and a capacity to absorb and learn; we have a fantastic set-up to develop both the manager and the squad, why ignore it? Hoddle has poor memories and a capacity to be a Fruitbat; to be fair he does understand his football. Shearer ****ing priceless
Like him or not that summing up of things by Shearer was the best I have heard so far. Won't have been popular with SKY, PL bigwigs or PL "footie" fans (who don't give a stuff about England as long as their foreign manager brings another foreign player to their foreign owned club) but spot on.
He's so proud and keen on the job that he cant remember when he met them to discuss it. 100% agree with his last para though.
I think as far as Shearer's concerned he needs to take note of his last sentence because it applies to him more than it does others.
