    He would also probably have put in a more assured and committed performance than Smalling or Cahill achieved at the Euro's. Not difficult mind you.

    An England pin badge, signed shirt and a couple of pens should do the trick.

    SB's the only thing that's holding the club together at the minute.

    I text my mate to say about Alex and his response was 'he's better than Smalling' <laugh>

    He is. The England defence was complete gash, including the keeper.

    Walker was good, Hodgson ruined his tournament by first leaving him out when he didn't need to, then playing Sturridge in front of him when he had linked brilliantly with Lallana previously

    Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant the central defence and keeper. All wing backs were OK.

    I know he put out the come and get me comments, but if the selection group didn't think something about him they wouldn't call him for an interview, would they?

    This was probably the interesting news he got following the Ferriby match?

    A job interview!

    Wouldn't surprise me if the Allams are hoping Brucie goes then they can blame him for ****ing the season up - At least if he does go we can bring a manager in that has more than one plan

    Club Statement - Steve Bruce

    The Club can confirm that manager Steve Bruce has held informal discussions regarding the England vacancy, although no official approach has been received from the FA.

    We would hope to see the FA conclude their business quickly in order to avoid further speculation regarding Steve ahead of what is a season of huge importance for the Club following our return to the Premier League.

    Of huge importance that sees us allocate a transfer budget of £0 and a protracted **** up in negotiating a sale of the club.

    So a month before the season starts we have 14 fit outfield players and a manager that is too busy securing a new job to be signing players.

    Ah well at least the fixture list gave us an easy start....oh wait.

    Given our pretty unimpressive transfer targets, if Bruce did go, expect a replacement of Roy Hodgson proportions.

    I can't imagine anyone on here would atomatically be thinking of SB when the England job comes up? To be a top international coach you have to be able to pit your wits against the best & be able to change things during a game! I'm a massive SB fan but...
