You just know the FA will appoint Hodgson.

Well, I am not happy he left. With him England was not a contender, now they might be. And that slims our chances of winning euro 2012

a manager that has the nous to play the following please:

................................Hart............................

Richards......Smalling....Jageilka.........Baines/Cashley

...............................Carrick.....................

....................Cleverly...........Wilshere..............

...........Walcott/Sturridge...........Rooney.......

.................................Welbeck......................

give rooney a free role. as a united fan im not confident with young starting......

maybe swap jagielka for someone else- not terrence.

walcott- purely for pace to stretch teams hit on the counter..... not flavour of the month i know. too soon for ox- altho lets see what he does.

other notable mentions: adam johnson, parker and ermm thats about it. no lampard or gerrard please

carrick must be the midfield anchor.

also take scholes to euros for experience, to keep hold of the ball for last half hour. no more kick n rush gerrard and lampard.

and no plod along barry.

No manager and no captain with the euro 4 months away and mangers that have done nothing with their club careers (apart from getting teams to mid table relegated) to date being linked with the job (not including Redknapp), this is a truly f-ed up day for english football in my opinion.

Capello was as much use as Gordon Brown

Lets be HONEST here, England currently has a dearth of world class players at it's disposal. Hart definately, Rooney occasionally but other than that a bunch of VERY AVERAGE players, the best manager in the world isn't going to get us that far so lets stop worrying about it.

The England manager job is probably one of the most poisoned chalices in football.
Success is expected, and Capello has just been sacked, despite being statistically the best manager in England's history;

He may not have won anything, and may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but look where England were after McLaren's reign.
Noone is a miracle worker, and just because Harry Redknapp is English and likeable doesn't mean he'll do any better....

Terrible article, rife with blind ignorance. Capelli has one of the best win percentages of any England manager to date. Prior to the World Cup he had done such an excellent job that Inter came sniffing and the FA had to rewrite a clause into his contract. We were playing expansive football. The World Cup debacle that followed was as mystifying as it was depressing. Anyone with half a brain cell could see that if you send out a team with such established players as England had at their disposal against the likes of Algeria only to play so dismally, then the blame has to lie with the players. Algeria should be so far off England's ability that we shouldn't have even needed a manager and we ought to have won.
