'arry to the rescue ?
With any luck.
I'll stop supporting England if Redknapp is appointed.
Stuart Pearce or Mourinho.
Bring back El Tel...
You can have the best manager in the world but nothing will improve the performance a bunch of celebrities ...
I can' t see arry taking over until after the euros, no point starting with failure. Stuart Pearce as caretaker until then.
Arsene Wenger
I just hope 'arry goes full time with england so spurs take a nose dive.
Early Reports are mentioning Trevor Brooking as Caretaker.
I'll put money on the monumentally incompetent FA making a right royal **** up of this, and us going in to the Euros with Arry still at Spurs, Woy Hodgeson at the helm, John Terry as captain, the rest of the prima donna's in open revolt, and failing to get out of the group, after (unbelievably) performing even more woefully than at the world cup!
Anyone fancy betting against it?
****ing Disgrace!! Shafted us!!!
If Brooking is in as caretaker I wonder how many of the "senior" players will retire from international football.
Anyone fancy betting against it?
You're a glass half-full (of rancid p*ss with razor blades in) type of guy binners 🙂

Arsene Wenger
He'd be ideal. He could teach the FA a thing or too. Although the FA were pretty canny getting rid of Capello without having to pay him off, simply by removing Terry as captain.
If Redknapp gets it i'm off to buy an Ireland shirt and join my dad supporting them.
I'm a realist fella. I've been watching the FA in action for long enough to see it coming a mile off! But, yes, actually you're right about the piss and razor blades! 😉
Any way everybody knows, the only man for the job is Ian Holloway!
What a bunch of pricks the FA are.
How do they get things SO wrong. What effect did they think that overruling Capello was going to have? He's not a yes man.
You know what? Capello's reign will be seen as a failure no doubt. Anyone remember the bright beginnings? Team discipline, everyone wearing smart suits and turning up on time etc? It's degenerated into the bullshit you now see. It's not Capello, it's us. It's the FA and it's ridiculously naive politics and clumsy positioning, it's the players and their utterly bullshit attitude to their responsibilities and to each other. Worst of all it's down to the fans for knowing this is going on and just letting it happen. Let's have a moan on a forum and carry on paying our sky subscriptions and shelling out stupid money for replica shirts worn by people who couldnt care less.
If England fans really want to see change in the national team they need to set fire to FA headquarters for starters, then smash up the team coach. Or something. 🙂

lol

Good shout that.
I'd like to see Harry at the helm eventually, dont know who between now and then
I bet they appoint Pardew, subsequently causing the relegation of Newcastle.
As a Spurs fan I hope Harry stays with us...
I lost interest in England after the penalty shoot out defeat by Germany.
in 1996. They've been pants ever since, but since Capello took over, they've been boring as well.
Bring back Kevin Keegan*, at least he knows how to set up an attacking team
* JOKE! Simon Grayson could do it, he's not doing owt at the moment
That's all we need! FA's fault for sure, whether Terry is captain should be up to the manager and only the manager.
England are a decent team, top 10 for sure. The goalkeeping problem seems to be fixed, we have a decent full back in Cole. Jones, Smalling, Terry, Richards are all good if not very good. The 2 arsenal lads look to have a bright future and Danny Welbeck is going to be scoring goals for fun with his energy.
We would be lucky to win any cup but you need luck, beating Spain whilst looking flukey was the work of the Italian (Italy also beat them in 2011), Capello knew going hammer and tong against Spain would get us a drubbing so set out a team accordingly. You would see few complaints if that 1 nil win was in the knockout phase of a cup. If people want pretty football we will have to wait a decade.
As you can tell I think it was a bad decision, Harry will get us a good hammering against the Spain's and Germany's of international footy.
I bet they appoint Pardew, subsequently causing the relegation of Newcastle.
Good call, though I think he may be smart enough to know it's a shit job. Get sven back he was alright.
Agree with yossarian (apart from the end paragraph)!
My sympathies for whoever becomes England Manager.
Even with Harry’s undoubted ability, there’s only so much he can do with a squad of fannies who possess vastly inflated views of themselves, their talent, and their importance.
It would be a shame for Harry towards the end of his career to suffer the ignominious backlash from a fickle public & media when it inevitably goes belly-up.
Hard to see Capello as any different to (most of) the dross on the team - a horrifically overpaid, under-achieving has-been.
The Euros are a write-off tbh. Put the bloke who cleans the bogs in charge, squad from under-25 y/os only with the exception of the whore-monger, Ashley Cole and two hairy-arsed centre halves and go from there.
Has ashley cole actually played this year?
Result. Glad to see the back of him.
Let's never again have a foreigner as manager.
Harry to take the job part time (with Pearce as his assistant) whilst leading Spurs to the CL with Arsenal far behind.
Oh sh*t. We really didn't need that.
Sure, he's allowed to have his opinion; equally the FA's allowed to not allow a guy who may (or may not) be convicted of a racist crime be national captain. How badly wrong did it go in that meeting ffs?!
Cole's played consistently AFAIK - in good form I hear but I don't watch Chelsea regularly.
I think he's still a class player - but if anyone wants to throw him into an enormous skip through guilt by association then I aint complaining.
Imagine - the very idea of an Italian in charge leaving a sinking ship early........
Ridiculous...
Keep your hands off Trappatoni!
Holloway but at least make England entertaining!
Warnock for manager!
Can you just imagine how much fun that would be?
On a serious note, Martin O'Neill.
Early Reports are mentioning Trevor Brooking as Caretaker.
At least the changing rooms will be clean but what about a manager
Not ollie! We want him and the donkey lashers back in the premiership next season 😀
Sam Alladyce or Barry Fry

:lol:.....JC
This bunch no longer represent England, English people, English fans or football.
They represent the FA, their corruption, their dirty money and their sponsors- McDonalds, Budweiser, Sky, Barclays...
They should be stripped of the title "England Team", and banned from ever wearing a white or red shirt with lions on again. They should play in McKits like the clowns they are, and be called The Sweet FA Team.
England fans need to reclaim the England team from these parasites, and rebuild it from scratch to represent England.
On a different note, Harry's agreed to take the job on the conditon of 10% of the fee he gets for selling Crouch. Again.

ditto.
What a sham.. Capello is really clever, likes art, cool glasses and good at disciplining our ****t players and Redknapp is almost certainly bent as a five bob note. Say what you like because that is what I believe and I can believe what I like. He has to be dishonest, acting the way he does.
I shall support whoever is playing against us if Redknapp gets the job.
^^ are you familiar with the libel laws of this country? ^^
I'm not but I know enough not to start writing stuff like that on a public internet forum
really?
I'll 2nd it in that case.
Arry is almost certainly a crook, though not quite to the level of Blatter who is an out and out utter villain to the power of corrupt x1000.
Could still be good at the helm though. O'Neil for me though, Midas touch that man
Even with someone like Mourinho in charge, anyone who thinks that England have a chance of doing something at a major tournament is smoking way too much skunk.

"A is liable for saying anything to C about B which would be apt to make the average citizen think worse of the latter."
hh45 is fine.
The best most ambitious managers wouldn't touch the England job with a barge pole.
Why on earth would the likes of Mourinho, Wenger, O'Neill etc be remotely interested. It the kiss of death to most managerial careers in recent times.
We'll end up with Redknapp who personally regardless of his coaching abilities I can't stand.
Theninja- Money.
Once he leaves his England job, Harry can then get a pundit job on BBC/Sky, just like his son. Everyone is happy. Maybe.
Look on the bright side, you are unlikely to be overburdened with false expectation this time. Even Iain Wright (may he cross the road without looking both ways) will struggle to suggest England are one of the favourites.
As a Spurs fan I'd like to see Harry stay but he is the right man for England. O'Neil to Spurs and then after the World Cup O'Neil for England (although he's said as he was interviewed the for job previously and didn't get it he regards that "book as closed").
Pearce is honest and committed but he is no where near ready, he needs to go back to the Premiership.
Mourinho, don't make me laugh. 11 men behind the ball and try and score on the break, he's been found out at Real and he's lot the plot.
Hodgson for me. Does well with smaller inferior teams and that is what England are.
Oh God help us! Call-me-Dave is doing his man-of-the people, in-touch-with-the-oiks routine. Like when he pretends to like the Smiths and stuff
[url= http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2012/02/09/cameron-wades-into-england-football-row-with-criticism-of-ca ]DAVE HAS SPOKEN[/url]
Please make it stop. You're a ****ing toff! Stop trying to act like you're not. You're fooling no-one! And its embarrassing for all involved
toff you say Binners - you are forgetting why the man of the people CMD supports Aston Villa- his dad was friends with the owner - now can you get more Vox populi [ as dave says it] that that?
tbh it does not matter who the manager is the team are a top ten ish team who wont really win anything.
You can have dour performances like that under capello or you can have blood and thunder that Keegan or Arry would give you...the real issue is how do you prefer to loose?
Mourinho found out at madrid!!!! 7points above barca who are regarded as the best team in the world??
Mourinho who won the treble at Inter?
Mourinho who trebled the number of league titles that Chelsea had ever won in 2 years of being at the club?
Mourinho who won the UEFA cup and Champions league back to back with an unfancied team from Portugal and a budget of next to nothing?
That Mourinho?
Mourinho struggling at the top of the league having won the last 10 gazzilion on the trot...

Calm down binners, you will have a seizure!
I just hope that they don't waste money on the role. Different monkey at the top, same players, broadly the same tactics (due to skills limitations and inability to take penalties), same results. Nothing will change.
They could employ anyone from STW and still get the same end result.
Any manager who takes the role on must have a career death wish.
he is talented but he is not stylish and he just cant beat Barca head to head
Mourinho, assaulting Barca coaching staff because he cannot take the pressure. What has he lost 6 of the last 7 against Barca ? I was in Barcelona when Real beat them 1-0 in the Copa del Rey. Real hardly touched the ball, defended the entire match and scored a breakaway goal. Barca and Real get the vast majority of the TV money in Spain, the other teams are just cannon fodder. He's a very defensive coach, more fools Bayern for falling into his trap in his last CL win at AC Milan. His CL win at Porto was his best, no doubt. That was along time ago.
He won things at Chelsea (only domestic mind, I love how he counts the Charity Sheild as a trophy !) because of Abramovich's money and having a much better squad that the competition.
No thanks.
If someone can post images and doesn't mind me emailing them there is a good Redknapp/Capello cartoon going around.
That pretty much sums it up teamhurtmore
Whoever gets it, expect the media to go mental with "we've got a new manager, we're going to win it" nonsense. Cue the ridiculous weight-of-expectation, then failure, then vilification by the self same media.
...and so the whole dismal merry-go-round continues, with nothing changing that actually needs too. Just the usual musical chairs for the managers position
oh binners come on Bulldog sprit 66 and all that come on you slacker -- FFS England fans are renowned the world over [ not just for your hooliganism either] for hugely over inflated expectations on an average team of nearly men coupled with inconsolable woe when the inevitable penalty shoot out / German humbling happens
FFS look at germany’s record - semi of every major final iirc and their team is not any better on paper and yet they have the mental strength to score penalties and progress at finals.
Why does this keep happening?
German youth football is superbly organized and coached. They play a tournament roughly once a month, if a match is a draw they decide on penalties. It's not rocket science that they are better tournament footballers and can score from the spot. Good friend (and MTBer) lived in Germany for a few years and his talented son played football there, the difference vs UK set up was huge.
PS I was at the Euro 96 match, I don't care if Gareth Southgate wanted to take a penalty, he'd only taken one before and he'd missed that too.
Why doesn't someone allege they'd been racially abused by CallMeDave because in his own words he couldn't be in charge with that question mark over him.
Guilty until proven innocent, well done Dave.
If someone's made this point already then sorry, ICBA RATS 
no you did well no one else was that stupid
Stripping him of the captaincy is not saying he is guilty. It is just saying you cannot captain your country if the CPS has enough evidence to charge you with this offence
Many folk cannot do their job if they are charged with an offence
would you like a teacher or nursery worker accused of sexual acts with minors to be allowed to carry on working at the same place as they are still innocent or would it be prudent to do something based purely on the allegation and the fact the CPS are prosecuting [ this mean they think they have enough evidence to get a conviction btw].
it is not that hard to see why he has been stripped and i would be unable to work if charged with any criminal offence.
none of this means i have been presumed guilty but it would be stupid to ignore the fact that I may well be
no one else was that stupid
Really, any need? You wouldn't say it to me so why type it?
Oh 'eck, violent undertones here, must be a football thread!
i might, it would depend but point taken.
It is too late to edit or i would.
Fair enough.
I didn't realise he'd been charged. Thought it was just an allegation.
Hmmm all hot air this England will never win Euro 2012 or any other trophy with the players the next manager has, no matter who they are.
Mourinho, don't make me laugh. 11 men behind the ball and try and score on the break, he's been found out at Real and he's lot the plot.
What a pile of tripe. Yes, his team has struggled against Barca, but they are the best team on the planet ffs, and Mourinho hasn't had 2 full seasons at madrid.
As said above, Real are way ahead in the league. Mourinho's record speaks for itself, Englands record does not.
Typical English football fan, Thinks that football ends at the white cliffs.
Hmmm all hot air this England will never win Euro 2012 or any other trophy with the players the next manager has, no matter who they are.
Doesn't matter who the manager is unless he can get them to play as a team and change the attitude they have. Until that happens they will win jack shit.
That's all we need! FA's fault for sure, whether Terry is captain should be up to the manager and only the manager.
I don't know. If he thinks an openly racist ****wit like Terry should be captain at all I'm glad he's gone. We need to start showing players their behaviour in all manner of ways is unacceptable and this is a fair start. If he's found guilty in court I think he shouldn't get to wear an England shirt again (except down the pub watching a game) given it was on the pitch that this offense occurred.
So, John Terry has gone as he is apparently a racist, So, England have no manager as we all know you can't defend a racist because that make you a racist, so you get Stuart Pearce in charge, an actual person guilty of a racist comment
The incident with Ince allegedly occurred in 1994 during a match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.
The chief executive of the Professional Footballers’ Association, Gordon Taylor, said at the time that Pearce’s alleged racist abuse of Ince was “in the heat of the moment... Stuart regrets what he said, and he’ll be ringing Paul to apologise. Hopefully that will be the end of it”.
No one expects England to win the Euros. It would be nice to see the team try though. And to get rid of Rooney for good, the hideous cretin that he is. I'd rather see the 'clean' and 'fresh' Michael Owen up front than him. Whoever gets the job should drop 'Lamps', 'Rio' and the lionheart that is Terry. Even Matthew Upson is better than Terry. 🙂
If England win the Euros I will buy a hat then eat it.
No. A. Hope.
It will be same old same old unfortunately - the nation whipped into a frenzy by the media for the weeks/months before the tournament followed by a couple of close results and England squeezing into the quarters where we get knocked out.
England haven't got a cat in hells chance of beating Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal and countless other teams. Whoever the manager is. And I personally think they'll end up with Woy
But whoever takes over takes over the first thing they should do is walk in and say to whoever was part of the South Africa debacle:
"Get your stuff and get out, you'll never play for England again! If you had a shred of dignity or self-awareness you should have resigned in shame 18 months ago"
We've got some great young players. Let them play. They can't conceivably be worse than the last lot
If England win the Euros I will buy a hat then eat it.No. A. Hope.
greece won.
capello now linked with chelsea according to the bun when i flicked through the back pages in tesco this morning.
greece won
They did - I recall watching it on a mini TV at SSMM.
But they played as underdogs and didn't even think they could do it themselves whereas England still perform like they think thye stand a chance. The minute they start playing like they might have to fight for something then they might stand a chance.
