Yeah, I think I'd have had a meteoric rise in Soviet Russia, before getting the hump about something, speaking out and ending my life in some freezing Siberian Gulag Comrade Hudson, you display the traits

What about getting Lenin's reincarnation to manage us? I'm sure he'd soon get everyone working for the team

I can't understand the rumours of Alan Shearer. He's never managed before, he's got a comfortable career as a pundit now. He would be mental to chuck that in for a job with near impossible expectations from 50mill England fans and media that will call for blood with one bad performance. And the F.A. would be mad to put in someone with no experience.

I only see two to pick from, Mourinho or O'Neill but I dont think either of them want the job, can you blame them, as for MCLAREN/Mc Clown, he should never have been given the job in the first place, ok as assitant but the news papers picked him, we need an English manager they insisted, bollocks so long as the manager brings success, who gives a shit where he comes from

Whilst the position is obviously attractive in the world of footy management it'll take someone with big shoulders to take on the role. Expectations of a nation - the immense media pressure - it's also a potentially damaging career move - so maybe not so attractive as people make out!
So with that how about "guest managers"!
In the fortnight before an International fixture all current Premiership managers names go into the hat and one is drawn at random. The lucky winner gets to coach and manage England for the single match. They might then appreciate the need to develope young English players and play them regularly in their first 11.
Were England ever to reach the finals of a major tournament ever again then the managers who participated in the qualifiying games / friendlies would decide amongst themselves who would take on the role as manager for the entire tournament!

What about forming a management committee from all the sports journos? After all, they've got all the bloody answers, so we'd be guaranteed to win!

Least he wouldn't be able to tinker with the team on account of there being a more important competition to focus on

Still, y'know, most of us aren't internationally known footballers
