He got spurs to the champions league

It's not an insult, it's a belief. You reckon a coach has to be under 45 right? Check the ages of the Italian and Uruguayan managers who beat us. Or the Brazilian coach. Or Dutch. Chile have impressed right? Go check. Argentina. Germany. I'll wait here.

The only coach that really falls within your remit is Deschamps, who's 45 and therefore on borrowed time as he'll magically crumble within the year.
National managers tend to be fading club managers. Roy was just never a decent club manager. In my defence I nominate Capello.

Anyway, on this basis France will go deep. Thanks for doing the research.

Seriously I think a league coach has to do a lot of racing around. As you get older you want to relax. You need someone young a nd thrusting.

I really don't think he is suited to International football. He's never coached abroad, he has virtually no tactical nous. He's not a training ground coach, he leaves that to an army of assistant coaches (no coincidence that QPR were a hundred times better at the start of the season when Mclaren was coaching them). Harry loves wheeling and dealing and bringing in players (especially on deadline day with nice hefty bonuses) the one thing you can't do as an International manager. He'd schmooze the press though, they'd love him.

No idea, but I'd be surprised if Hodgson is still the manager by the time the first Euro qualifier comes up.

He's an enormous part of the problem.
He can take the defence with him then. Cahill is the best of a bad bunch.

Guus Hiddink would have been the only logical choice. He has a proven record in doing well with mediocre players and would have fitted England like a glove.

Sadly though Holland have him.

Unless we go for another foreign manager, there really isn't a viable alternative to Roy. I'm firmly convinced that Redknapp would be an absolute disaster.

In any case, our squad is absolutely dire and there's not much talent coming through right now. The future looks extremely bleak.

The premiership does our international game no favours at all. All the best players in it are foreign and the same can be said of the managers now as well. The fact is, we're not producing world class players.

Not ready yet. Which is another reason to keep Roy on beyond this failure and keep Nev as assistant coach.

Alex Ferguson. Based on his record he's the best choice.

But I don't think any manager can make England play better international football. We're not meant to be world beaters.

Not sure England are frightened of putting a young manager in. Not an issue for the Dutch and Germans in the recent past.

Hoddle was a youngish manager, that's been the only one

Harry is a reasonably good club manager who can put a squad together - usually at great expense.

Give him ordinary players to work with and he doesn't cut it. He's been relegated from the premiership twice because he couldn't turn things around or get more out of the players that were already there.

In short, Redknapp can't polish a turd and that's what England are right now. Hiddink is the one manager out there who can do that, but we won't be getting him.

We won't see anything. You've suggested 45 years old is a cut-off point for any useful manager, and there was a load of guff about other sports, tip of the iceberg stuff.

But if Roy has another poor tournament, does he become tarnished by the association with him?

I'd like to see Roy still in charge at the Euros, in 2 years there may be better options open. If he's sacked tomorrow just gamble with Neville, or failing that Curbishley for England!

Maybe, hopefully we'll have at least a moderately successful tournament in 2 years and then Neville will seem like the natural successor.

I fully expect Hodgson to remain in charge and see no reason for him not to.

That's pretty obvious to me to, he comes across well and has shown he is willing to go with youth.
