Didn't he also put together a lineup for a game before his wife reminded him 12 players isn't allowed?

People mock the David James situation but it so nearly worked and if fowler had put that penalty away it probably would have been the greatest substation of all time. Thought what it did to Jon mackens confidence is another thing |

clearly, ex professional footballers should not need to do badges.
probably nobody should. It's hardly equivalent to being a doctor, or a solicitor, is it? Or is it? Do you reckon Alf Ramsey got his badges. Or bill nicholson, or bill shankly, or bob paisley, or brian clough. or even Sir Alec Ferguson (well he may have,but I'm sure he didn't need them) meanwhile no doubt Hodgson and McLaren got loads of badges. I would have loved to see what was on the I-pads they were confusing the subs with, just before sending them on. |

The coaching issue is indeed an issue but it was brought up years ago and is something that needs to be addressed away from the problem of the national team. It will take a decade or more to see the benefits of making coaching badges more accessible and in all honesty I thought that was being addressed already in one of the many other "root and branch reviews" of the entire game that take place every time England crash out of a major championships.
So i think the plan, that has been up and running for a little while now, is the FA develop thousands of coaches to go into grassroot level youth football. Then the Prem League teams carry on with the development, but the Prem League clubs have to have an FA trained coach at their youth level. And that's why the Prem League have been allowed to increase the mileage radius of kids they can take into their academies. One example of FA coach development: https://www.theguardian.com/football...t-georges-park |

There was some quote from someone earlier on the radio about the FA being after someone who had experience of managing in the premier league and speaks English (I think they said that rather than is English). Presumably that means they are looking to avoid the Capello situation if they go foreign again where he came in and seemed not to have a great handle on the group of players at his disposal.
So I'm thinking if there's any truth in that then Hiddink is still a possibility. And also Klinsmann is out I guess (as far as I can remember) unless they are happy enough to include commentating on games occasionally to be the same as having experience in the Premier League. Current betting from random online bookie is.... 6/1 Klinsmann 6/1 Allardyce 7/1 Hiddink 8/1 Hoddle 12/1 Southgate (unlikely unless he's going for the M Gove route to the top job) 16/1 Redknapp 16/1 Blanc 16/1 Wenger 18/1 Pardew 20/1 Howe 20/1 Shearer 20/1 Bilic |

I think Arsenal fans would be happy if it was Wenger, but I very much doubt he'll leave his amazing job security to be embarrassed and ridiculed as an England coach

Allardyce, Hoddle, Pardew ... I would prefer Manuel from Fawlty Towers.
As for Klinsmann, can people not imagine how our xenophobic German hating popular press would react to a German manager of England? And do they seriously think the lily-livered, spineless FA would be prepared to confront such prejudice when their entire existence has been premised on evading responsibility, passing the buck and avoiding taking any decision which might in any way make them feel uncomfortable or challenged. I'm old enough to remember their scandalous, cowardly failure to appoint Brian Clough as England manager and I don't believe the FA has changed fundamentally since then: its first criterion for an England manager is someone who will not rock their boat. Who do I favour? Someone who knows they can only succeed if the FA has a clear strategy, agreed with the Premier League, about the changes needed to make the England national team a serious contender for contesting the finals of the main international tournaments. Anyone who believes their own appointment, without such a strategy, can transform England's performance at the World Cup and Euros should be rejected as yet another fantasist subscribing to a model that has repeatedly failed for 50 years. |

They will appoint someone who will be a yes man, who is not too much trouble - with no real ambition apart from qualifying The problem was that Roy went a little bit weird, doing things to the team that were clearly disadvantageous - and getting ratty when questioned about them. He started to believe in himself and found he was hopelessly out of his depth. Fundamentals like picking a consistent team, not taking injured players, or putting your best striker/ header on corners, or playing tired players. The cycle will repeat The FA have a problem. The people who ARE good enough do not want the job. The people who are not good enough are knocking their door down. |

Redknapp with Sherringham, Pearce and Shearer on his staff would be interesting.

What on earth can this list of failures possibly bring to the team? |

Also, how much did they spend on St Georges Park which was supposed to lead to it being the hub of coaching in England?. |
