Looks like BFS' application is being sponsored by none other then the GP fucking C.

His reward no doubt for all those years of sycophantic arse-licking, toadying and fielding a losing side whenever he played the rags.

Ideal FA man then.

Totally agree...no other international manager earns anything what the FA pay out. It is too much and as said by some pundits it doesn't put any emphasis on if things go wrong what happens. At the minute all that happens is a hefty pay-off.

I don't doubt that we have a talented squad, what we need now is a manager that can lead the squad in a direction and actually stick to that philosophy. We have seen Spain play possession football and be successful, Italy with a dogged defence and be successful, Germany with a solid around game and be successful.

We (England) since 1990 have no identity, no philosophy. We have instead tried to copy and implement other aspects of the successful nations and failed and lost our way. In all honesty, I would bet my house that if you asked a past England player like Lampard, Ferdinand and even a current player - when you turn up to train and play for England do you know what formation and tactics you will be asked to play ? - my guess is that answer would be no, if they were to be truthful in answering.

I also think that if you strip the premier league of the foreign players this league would not be what it is currently advertised as by the media. Maybe we should take a leaf out of the great Sir Alf Ramsey's book and not pick players on their name especially when their form is out the window, he dropped the best striker at the time in Greaves which didn't go down well, but he stuck to his guns and won the bloody World Cup. The last manager to do it his way was the late Great Sir Bobby Robson....

He scored four goals again on 29 June 1966, in a 6–1 friendly win over Norway, and in doing so ensured himself a starting place in the 1966 FIFA World Cup.

"I danced around the pitch with everyone else but even in this moment of triumph and great happiness, deep down I felt my sadness. Throughout my years as a professional footballer I had dreamed of playing in a World Cup Final. I had missed out on the match of a lifetime and it hurt."

— Greaves was bitterly disappointed to have missed the World Cup final.
At the World Cup he played all three group games against Uruguay, Mexico and France, however in the win against France midfielder Joseph Bonnel racked his studs down Greaves' shin, causing a wound that required 14 stitches and left a permanent scar.His replacement, Geoff Hurst, scored the winner in the quarter-final against Argentina and kept his place all the way to the final, where Hurst scored a hat-trick as England won the tournament.Greaves was fit to play in the final, but manager Alf Ramsey opted against changing a winning team. Only the 11 players on the pitch at the end of the 4–2 win over West Germany received medals. Following a Football Association-led campaign to persuade FIFA to award medals to all the winners' squad members, Greaves was presented with his medal by Gordon Brown at a ceremony at 10 Downing Street on 10 June 2009. In November 2014, Greaves' medal was sold at auction for £44,000.

I feel you but facts please..

I stand corrected....thanks. But we lack a manager of the ilk of Ramsey and Robson, we might have to think out the box for our next appointment instead of the FA looking for something we can't produce

Ha ha...I know can't see Hoddle getting it because of that remark he made. As much as he is considered a forward thinking coach by the players who he managed.
 
Bit outfield but i'd go for Paul Lake..

If not give him a job at our club instead of the useless rags and gooners we employ..
