A German managing England surely would increase our ability at penalties, no?
I like Klinsmann. At least he has a connection with English football.

Hiddink or Klinnsman for me.Wouldn't be the wurst candidate suggested![]()
I'd actually quite like Hope Powell to get the job. A good manager, a woman, coloured and a lesbian. A perfect candidate to represent our nation and our values and everything we stand for.
Apparently, Jürgen Klinsmann fancies a crack at it.
A German managing England.![]()
Im sure I heard on the radio that Southgate has got the temporary job and the FA are looking at approaching Wenger to take over permanatly when his Arsenal contract runs out
Having managed here for 20 odd years, Wenger is at least representative of English football.
I am surprised at you, normally a voice of reason, suggesting Beckham become England manager - and particularly your comment that he is 'passionate about England'. A lovely man, I'm sure, but he is inarticulate, possesses little charisma or gravitas, has demonstrated no understanding of tactics, and would probably make the same mistake just about every England manager has done for the past few decades by making friends with the players. They are too cosseted as it is, with everyone in their bubble talking each other up (Sturridges recent paean to the Sterling being a good example - 'he's an amazing player, one of the best in the world...') and Beckham is unlikely to be any different. Seriously, Beckham is a cock.I'd far rather have Beckham than Southgate, he'd command the respect of the players and he's as passionate about England as anyone.
If for no other reason than to hear him sing "God Save the Queen" on the pitch.

If Fergie took it, we'd win everything for the next four years then slump when he retires to not even qualifying for Europe under some chap called David Moyes.

Considering we appear to have a real problem with the team folding under any sort of pressure, why would anyone want the one manager whose teams do exactly the same, year in year out.Having managed here for 20 odd years, Wenger is at least representative of English football.
At the moment the England players need a schrink more than a manager.
