Hmm, I get that to a certain extent. For worldwide "brand name" players like Rooney it could certainly be true. But a lot of the England team at the moment aren't exactly huge draws for publicity - "must shoehorn Dele Alli in, there's a million kids in China queueing up to buy his shirt", I can't see it.

Or am I looking at this from the wrong direction? Do you mean the players' agents are paying money to make sure they get selected to increase their own "brand" in the hopes they will eventually reach the level of stardom alluded to above?

I think the FA are currently installing their brand of the next wave, at least their idea of it. it's transition time after all.

The only ones who have a clue at the minute are the 3 or 4 on the recruitment team, who'll be reporting to the FA Executive.

So apart from the fact that the league starts in about 6 weeks, the first qualifiers for 2018 are in September, so they've got 2 months to have a man in place if they're recruiting from abroad, and a lot less than 6 weeks if they want a PL manager.

The job we're talking about is managing the national team.

I don't doubt for a second Sam would love the job. But it would be both disrespectful to his club to make a statement (which is why he won't) and stupid for him to say anything which could prevent him getting the job.

I don't know what you expect him to say mate. Anything he could say would be problematical, all round.

Yes I agree it's a bit messy but I think some transparency will stop unwanted rumors -" yeah would be interested but not been asked " - that sort of message would apply to many managers .
Just feel it would send a message out to the wider world with no room for idle gossip. BSA
Would be portrayed as a straight talking manager in a more positive light to possible in comming players

You agree but seemed to have missed the point.
 
Noises in press media about England job and BSA - as a contingency who would you want to replace him at Sunderland ......from my experience as a Sunderland supporter this could easily happen as just when we are ready to progress ...everything goes pear shaped
So as a contingency who would You want to replace him ?
For starters Mr Howe at Bournemouth ?

Main paper pushing this is the Daily Mirror.... No surprises there though!
 
Sam would be good for England. He takes **** and below average teams (which England are) and gets them performing above themselves. However, he has too much front about him for the suits at the FA. I don't think we would win anything with him, but we would be far less embarrassing.

LOL. That made me laugh

Obviously the FA would have to approach SAFC rather than Sam himself. I wonder how Elis would react to such an approach.

Having spunked a fortune in compensation for gash managers, I'm sure he would be more interested in keeping Sam rather than getting a few quid from the FA

Let's hope so marra, however, if an approach WAS made for Sams services (which I don't think will happen) would Ellis be able to talk him round & keep him at SAFC ??? I don't think so (hypothetically speaking)!!

Sam has always said he wants the job. He'd be off, mate. Couldn't really call him for it either.

He could duel it for the qualifying. Could be in a much better place to replace him if he went full time into the world cup in a few years. Surely he knows leaving us now would be very damaging. Don't think he'd leave us completely in the lurch. Half expecting one of the contracts today is a 2 years for Big Sam
