Steve Bruce was interviewed by the FA, yesterday. According to the Beeb.
The FA, rewarding failures. |

I wonder if Alex Bruce would be in the England squad if Steve Bruce was in charge

Bruce is the definition of a journey man in terms of management... Also the sort who would stick with his favourites

Surely that applies to all managers, to some degree.

Bruce is another one who I actually think is decent at the level he operates at but does little that I think translates to international level.

I suppose so, but we are constantly complaining about using favourites, afraid to drop big names etc... Some managers you sense would be more inclined that way, and some not...

We need someone who has the tactical nouse to get results.
I think Allardyce fits the bill. |

What a joke.
The FA, rewarding failures. Quite who people were expecting I don't know (if we are talking about English candidates), Howe?? Pardew?? The only way that we could remotely get a decent manager would be if we were to go down the foreign manager road, seemingly with these two names in the fray, that is a road that The FA were not willing to go down. |

The trouble is, there is not this huge great big pool of managers that they can pick or select from, hence why with the greatest of respect, we are seeing Big Sam and Bruce being talked to about the role.

Just give it to an Englishman. |

We've tried that with Eriksson and Capello. It didn't work.

Anyone else find the idea of interviewing these people utterly farcical?
Tell us about a time when you've led a team to work together to solve a problem. You may use examples from your professional or home life |

Bruce could always reference the time he ran to his daughters aid and got smashed by an iron bar protecting her, I suppose that counts as stout English courage.
Makes Terry Butcher seem something of a wuss for that cut head of his. |

Think I'd rather get Roy back than have Bruce!
At least Big Sam has a decent top flight record.. |

Okay fine, if you want an English manager/head coach, then Bruce, Big Sam, Pardew etc are the type or sort that will be in contention for the job.

Lets face it we're shit so why not give big sam, steve bruce, hoddle or even redknapp a chance. We can't do any worse. Can't imagine anyone gives us any chance come the worlds apart from those who are deluded enough to think this time we'll get to the final.

England are not a Barcelona, they're a West Brom we need the kind of manager that takes a West Brom and get them to mid table we need someone who can get England back to being a quarter final team like we were 10 years ago then we can think about moving up from there |
