As it's a quiet Saints day I'm taking up TSS's suggestion and trying to get away from the Pompey crisis. Is it a good idea to leave Pearce in charge now until after the Euros. I personally wouldn't want Redknapp and Hiddink is now unavailable. Can't see anyone else decent being available until after the summer. Pycho might be Englands best bet. Views?
It doesn't fill me with confidence, but theres no easy choice to be made, & whoever takes charge has a massive job, on & off the field.
It's simple. We are not going to win the European Cup and we don't want to rush into getting the wrong manager, so why not leave Pearce in charge. He might do well, but if not we mustn't lambast him for it. England needs rebuilding and we might as well enjoy this cup without the silly idea of winning it. Brings me to a second point, Redknapp might be a good man manager and might get a team to over perform or perform to its full potential, but is he the man for complete restructuring of our National side?
No, he's not. But theres something else to consider. This will be the last competitive tournament for quite a few of our 'golden' cough oldies, so surely it would be worth a 6month contract for 'Arry to put his arm round them, get them pulling in the same direction. If we do well, he gets a contract, if we don't, we start to rebuild. Its a roll of the dice, but thats what I would do. I'm not a HR fan, just feel this short notice is made for him.
Greece managed to plough their way to a win in 2004, so nothing is impossible. Having said that, I still have no expectations regarding England. Pearce is a passionate Englishman with a no-nonsense approach - and quite frankly it can't do any harm having him in charge.
Tax free, hell yeah! He can share, then make a decision after as far as I'm concerned. Spurs can untangle their knickers, Harry gets a massive chance in a unlikely year & old blighty get a stop gap manager for a team that look so unhappy its unreal. There, every-one's sad.....happy....disinterested, disheartened. Have I missed a group?
Completely agree with this. The only problem Pearce has is that he's establishment, and therefore boring and bound to carry on the dismal plodding mediocrity of old. Plus he has no history of success in management anyway. Harry is just beginning to show how good a manager he is, at the right end of the league, at a club with quite a bit of dosh behind them. He's not the bloke for the real long term though, and the FA are still old-school-tie enough that they might just leave him at Spurs.
