exileinleedsSutekh What England need is impossible to find. They need a strong minded, determined manager who is not afraid to be his own man and commands respect. Someone who will mould a TEAM where it is the TEAM that matters and not individuals. Someone who will look across all countries and all divisions to find the players that will make that TEAM.
Given the days of Shankly, Paisley, Clough, Busby and Robson are long over the nearest available name is Sir Alex but he wouldn't manage England for all the gold in the world. Next name that crosses the mind is perhaps Terry Venables but after that you're looking abroad for someone as English/British managers dont get the jobs with top sides any more and so there would always be whether any players selected would have true respect for someone without a "record".
Personally as I dont believe you need a "record", just a proven abilty to get great results from perhaps limited resources consistently, then we should be looking at the likes of Pardew.
Basically, you want SSC. If only.
I'm sure Some Silly C u n t wlll the job. Pays well.
