I'd definitely want an Englishman in charge, I think all countries' national teams should be managed by someone of that nation.
Bruce is a no-no from me. He's a good manager at Championship level but fails when in the Premier League. I don't really ever see a style from him either, I feel as though he just tries to buy players and hope they do well, rather than buying players to fit a particular system. Being in charge of Hull, he's lucky in that the team is too good for the Championship yet will struggle in the Prem when not properly managed.
Big Sam is someone who knows how to get results, he's made the team he's managed more formidable, doesn't play the most attractive styles of football but his style of play would probably be suited to the international stage as in recent years the increased pressure on getting results instead of entertainment has grown and so I think with the way that Sam plays and the respect he seemingly commands from his players, being in charge of a bunch of guys who seemingly lose their bottle a lot would be something he'd relish and likely be able to change around.
Hoddle has been out of the game for too long and is too big a risk in my opinion, there's no doubting his knowledge and his experience of managing England before would hopefully set him in good steed to know where he could've improved on from his last tenure but I just feel hands-on experience of this modern era is essential in selecting the new gaffer.
Initially Eddie Howe was my preferred choice, with Sean Dyche being my close second, two very good young managers who've worked with "small" clubs and gotten them to the Premier League having played a good brand of football. Both have got the best out of their number 9s (Wilson and Gray) and both seems liked by their players, for them to take the England job and grow with the players is something I wouldn't mind seeing.
However, after the recent Euros, I do now feel Big Sam would be the best candidate, these England players need a kick up the arse, they need to realise their undoubted potential and they need a manager who'll rid the nerves out of their system and turn those nerves into determination and motivation in getting results for their country and not going into games worrying of making a mistake or being embarrassed, because it's that's sort of mentality that ends up indeed causing us to make or mistake or be embarrassed.
I'd also like someone like Harry to take up a role with the squad, as some form of consultant or assistant manager. Hoddle could also take up a similar role.
