    The right decision.

    Close, but no cigar.

    Fans in this country much prefer club football. IMO.

    My man on the insode reckons Potter will get the gig later this week.

    I'd be a tad disappointed if that came to pass.

    Just pay up and get Klopp. Or Howe.

    The FA will appoint another “yes” man - not sure if Potter falls into that category-I think Klopp would do a good job as well :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Klopp would be awesome. He'd bring a brand of football that would suit our attacking talent. I just can't see it happening, though.

    The only reason a gaffer who loves all the weekly machinations of being a Club football manager would take the England job is the money.
    Which, in a nutshell, is why England will never win a Tournament.

    It's a job where you get to coach players and try to win a couple of games maybe four or five times a year.
    With a squad who - most of the time - aren't that interested in even being there.
    While the whole Premier League conspires against you.
    And by the time a tournament comes around your players are all knackered and/or carrying knocks.

    And, as @Smudger603 has pointed out, the FA only want a yes-man.
    They don't care if the National team never wins anything.
    They're alright jack.

    Shiny teeth would not take the job atm, plus I do not think he would be a character the FA would want.
