Sam Allardyce

Heres 1 to think about Mark Sampson the manager of the womens team. But more than likely it will be 1 of Southgate , Big Sam or Pardew if they stay English. Non English how about Blanc done a good job at PSG. The best out there with a all round tatical side would be him and generally young too.

What a bunch to choose from. Apparently the top 4 according to the bookies are Southgate, Benitez, Howe and Pardew. I don't think any of them have the qualities we need to get something out of the current corp of players.

Lets be clear, although we didn't face serious opposition in qualifying, we did have a system and we played to it. Come the finals and, yet again Roy panics and drops it all. Sturridge right wing? Two 'quarterback' style midfielders in Rooney and Dier, against a team defending deep? We never tried that in qualifying, he's just panicked and tried to cram the best performing players of the past few months into a starting eleven, plus Rooney. And where on earth was he when the players lots their heads around the 70 minute mark? Every pass was poor, they were panicking, and not a sign of the boss telling them to calm it down and start again, play t their strengths.

As i see it, what we need is a motivator, someone who has a system or two and can identify the best players for it, and who can identify the correct changes to make in a game to turn it. I would love that to be an English manager, in fact in the face of Brexit I think it would be damned embarrassing to give the job to a non Englishman now, but I don't think we really have that kind of manager available to us. Fat Sam? Hmmm. Howe has hardly set the Premier League alight and possibly the presence to command a dressing room of egos. Not Pardew, he's been exposed as a one trick pony countless times, plus I just don't like him.

Sod it, why not some Italian fire and go for Bobby Manc.

Hoddle. End of.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

Nothing will change, we always seem tournament behind - for example, the last few were about Spain and possession yet we couldn't string a pass together yet now we want to do it the 'Spanish way', those days are over but we are still trying to pass for the sake of it. The game is about setting up well and playing counter-attack see Italy, Ath Madrid, Leicester etc yet we don't/can't do it. No doubt we will try and adopt another 'way' and only half get to grips with it but the world/game would have moved on by then as well

Hoddle. End of.

Is that the same Hoddle that did fuck all with Wolves, Spurs and Southampton(if I remember right)? He's lived off 30 minutes V Argentina for almost 20 years! time to move away from the likes of him

Eddie Howe should be the favourite. Young, ambitious, plays good attractive football and sticks to his beliefs. Too many dinosaurs have been England coach over the last 10 years.

Big Sam wouldn't be the worst choice, far better than Roy and actually has a back bone.

Gareth Southgate or Gary Neville would just be insanity.

He had taken England to withing spitting deistance of 2nd in the world when he was fired for non football related reasons. I dont think he is the answer 15 years on but he did a great job as the england manager

Whoever it is, we need to play in a way that the available players are capable of playing.
It's pointless trying to emulate the way Pep plays the game because we don't have the personnel to carry out his instructions.
The whole idea of winning games is to play to your strengths. Do you go up against Barcelona and try and pass them off the pitch? Of course not.
I'm afraid that the only way England could ever dominate the opposition is to play route one, 442. It's been coached into us since junior level.
Forget any ideas about diamonds and false 9's. Pick the best left footed lb and lm. Same for the right side.
Forget about centre backs that can play the ball. Put a couple of them there that can be dominant.
No lightweights in the middle either. Strong tacklers that don't go hiding.
Big target man up front with a natural poacher next to him.
It'd be crap to watch.
As others have said, don't try and shoehorn players into positions.
Don't pick players because of who they play for . If West Brom have a right sided midfielder that can tackle, track back and put a good early cross, pick him rather than a centre mid that plays for a fashionable club and push him to the side.
The commercial side of the FA would have to take a back seat for the good of the country.
None of this will happen though. It's a money driven outfit that has to keep the sponsors sweet. Wembley won't be filled if the national side doesn't have it's quota of players from their media darlings.

Roberto Mancini.

Absolutely tailor made for the job.

Changes mentalities, knows how to fucking defend, attention to detail and not scared to tell the big I ams to fuck off if they need it.
