England new manager ......
-
Felipe Scolari ?
Hmm..... you think good idea ?
England no more good coach ? Must employ Brazilian ?
Can't believe England playing Samba football .
Beckham dancing around like Ronaldinho ?
Are you happy or disappointed with this new appointment ? -
whoever the coach is, i hope he need to change a new captain n not practice favourism n select players base on looks.
-
i think good idea cos he dares to drop big names, during euro 2004 he dropped rui costa, couto and then later figo.
so let's see if he'll drop beckham
-
I think it's good because he's done a good job with Brazil and Portugal. So his credentials are definitely impressive.
What England needs is a manager that can control all the big personalities and egos.
Scolari does it well. And I think Sam Allardyce will do a good job too.
But pls not McClaren or Curbishly.I don't think they will fit the bill. -
They should just get an English coach. That way, England wouldn't be a threat in World Cup.
-
mcclaren is the best, he is already experienced as assistant national coach. and he's good manager. just only this season they screwed up a bit in the league. but europe they are doing well. and mcclaren is the kind of manager can make things happen, eg. the 2 4-3 comebacks, 3-0 win against chelsea.
just they somehow went thru bad spell in league, but u look back previously boro doing quite well in epl given their lower financial abilities. everyone goes thru periods of bad spell, but mcclaren's overall credentials is very good. he manager national team best becoz no need for transfer budget, he can just pick the best players and make things happen. -
hope not... having 2 foreign coach means that england no better coach... like tat lose face for england for claiming to be home of football... even no proven english can at least try scot fergie... i dun see y he wasnt shortlisted wif the accomplishment he got... dun tink gd idea with scolari around... so now hope maclaren win the uefa cup then tat might give him some weight to take the england role... even french wun sink to this low to employ brazilian...Originally posted by Poolman:Felipe Scolari ?

One problem will be communication.
With Brazil and Portugal, the players share a common language. Portuguese is very similar to spanish and brazillian.
Can Scolari speak good english?
-
i duno man..but it seems that the FA don't even trust their own homegrown talents..
-
I want the folks in FA to get out of their post. If I would the english fans, I will throw rotton food at their sight. England was the one that started this sports and they have to rely on a foreigner to manage their country. What a laughing stock. As an england fan, I am absolutely bitterly disappointed with them. If they go ahead and employ him (Nothing against this coach) , I will support them until World Cup then that's it.
-
because the top 4 clubs of england ain't run by englishmen..no ucl exposure no experience so they say..
-
But it seemed it's a common trend to employ foreign coach for the country .
Singapore has a foreign coach , malaysia also , middle east countries all foreign coach , Japan , Korea , now Russia also employ Guus Hiddink ?
Maybe they have collected some important datas , that those countries using their very own countryman don't do well . Countries like Republic Ireland and Northern Ireland , Scotland , Norway , Spain ...... maybe stats shows that country using foreign coach perform better in World Cup .
A sad day for English football .
Cos we are going to miss the type of physical and Dash & Go football we've seen over the years , and instead ......... Samba football . -
I think employing Scolari good at one thing , this Scholari is too old to flirt around with woman !
-
Just heard he turned down the job , any confirmation ?
-
maybe because he has to lead portugal for the world cup?and inside he already accepted??Originally posted by Poolman:Just heard he turned down the job , any confirmation ?
or maybe the FA after seeing boro stunning comeback decided to choose steve.. -

It's quite interesting cos England may end up meeting Germany in the 2nd round. If they Win Grp B and Germany are runners up or if England is runner up and Germany wins Grp A.
Ideal is for England to meet either Ecuador, Poland or Costa Rica from Grp A. After that they might meet Netherlands or Portugal. It would be interesting if they meet Portugal eh? What with Scolari being the next England coach! -
It's not about english gaffer or wad
its about the right man for the job -
I disagree , England should be managed by an English coach because they know the game in and out and there are some potential decent coaches. If they are not given a chance, does England have to rely on foreign coaches all the way ?Originally posted by ch0i:It's not about english gaffer or wad

it's not about relying on other
u tell me hors, whos better than scolari
track record aready prove
ok u later say these englishmen noe more
this century football is diff from last time
this aint the days of alfs or bill or even bob p
i still believe the best man wins -
Now The Favourite Is Steve McClaren which is an englishman but I agreed with what Staurt Pearce Said "The Best Man Get The Job,Regardless Of Your Nationality"
And the appointment of the New England Manager Might Just Be Next Friday ! -
know the english game?do u happen to mean the long ball game by any chance?Originally posted by K800i:I disagree , England should be managed by an English coach because they know the game in and out and there are some potential decent coaches.

sure put in sam allardyce and you'll get it..england will offer the job to an englishmen when someone of the pedigree of mourinho,fergie,wenger and benitez etc is an englishman..
u seriously think they don't wana employ an englishman?its not that they don't want, but if your talking about national pride, den winning will give u the greatest and not just employing ur own countryman.. -
FA set to confirm McClaren as England boss this week
LONDON, May 1 (Reuters) - Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren will be named as Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor as England coach by the end of the week, according to newspaper reports on Monday.
McClaren, who also works as Eriksson's assistant, moved to the top of the Football Association's wanted list after Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari decided last week not to take his interest in the England job any further, the reports said.
Citing media intrusion that comes with the job, and which by Scolari's standards was already in full swing, Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning coach pulled out of a deal that could have earned him several million pounds a year.
McClaren did his England prospects no harm on Thursday when Middlesbrough produced a remarkable comeback to reach the final of the UEFA Cup.
Middlesbrough came back from three goals down to defeat Romanians Steaua Bucharest 4-3 on aggregate, setting up a showdown with Spain's Sevilla in Eindhoven on May 10.
McClaren will be granted a clean and quick break from Middlesbrough after their UEFA Cup final if the Football Association offer him the job.
McClaren signed a new contract at the Riverside in January, committing himself to the club until 2009.
The subject of a possible England approach, however, is covered in the contract and Boro chairman Steve Gibson has always told his manager he can leave to manage his country with his blessing.
The FA's selection panel appear set to plump for McClaren after they were snubbed last week by their number one choice Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The panel's decision will be ratified at an FA board meeting on Thursday and, if there are no further complications, the contractual negotiations can start.
If it is McClaren, the FA must decide whether to make a swift announcement and parade their new man or wait until after Middlesbrough's UEFA Cup final against Sevilla, in Holland, next week.
McClaren's case has not been championed by any individual on the selection panel but has won support as the process has evolved.
Middlesbrough hit form at the right time, making it to their first European final and the FA Cup semi-final.
McClaren has managed to keep the England question at arm's length and dealt impressively with revelations that he had an affair last year with a secretary at Middlesbrough.
The Yorkshireman's safe and unfussy personal style has taken on new significance since Scolari pulled out of the job in dramatic circumstances on Friday.
Scolari's behaviour served to stress that a foreign manager might be tempted by the prestige and money on offer but cannot be guaranteed to have the same sense of duty an Englishman might.
McClaren and Sam Allardyce are both desperate to succeed Eriksson after the World Cup and confident of their capabilities.
Allardyce made his final plea to the FA after Bolton's defeat yesterday at Spurs and has not been ruled out of the running.
Like McClaren, he would leave his club with the chairman's blessing after re-establishing them in the upper echelons of English football.
Allardyce is admired for his innovation but loses ground on the basis of international experience.
McClaren has a Champions League winners' medal tucked away from his days as Sir Alex Ferguson's number two at Manchester United and has five years of England experience.
He has witnessed the unique environment of the modern England team and the problems faced at big international tournaments.
Originally, he was brought into the England set-up to offer top-level coaching to the players, with a view to one day becoming manager.
That day is now closing in. He will be 45 on Wednesday but his favourite birthday gift could come from the FA, 24 hours later.
ok..seems settled.... -
So does that means by hiring a foreign coach will definately give England success? Other then Allardyce , there is other coaches like McClaren have what it takes to manage England. Really , I feel sorry for England if they hire another foreign coach . Very very sorry for them.Originally posted by stellazio:know the english game?do u happen to mean the long ball game by any chance?

well might not guarantee but i'm sure there might be a higher chance eh..what makes u think the players really respect allardyce and mcclaren?they haven't been as invovled in the top competitions as the proven managers..Originally posted by K800i:So does that means by hiring a foreign coach will definately give England success?

records speaks for itself..
and like i said, if there really was a outstanding englishman with a proven track record they wouldn't have been in this problem..obviously the decision to dilly dally and even offer scolari first obviously shows that the english fa has a lack of faith in their own countrymen's ability..
