Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveCan't think of any reason why we should have an English manager. Would be great if we could have players from other countries, but it's currently against the rules. It would certainly be unusual among sports (unique I think) to allow foreign players in national teams, but I'd be all in favour of it.
He's a good manager but surely we [england] should have an english manager - if not lets have some foreign players too.
He is a fantastic manager and will be superb for England, he has already proved himself at the top level. It's alright saying we should get an English manager but they simply are not good enough.
International football is played mostly in a continental style which most english managers do not understand. The world cup and all international games are about using your skill and tactic to beat a team not mainly using strength and hard tackle tactics to win games.
I respect big sam and the rest but unless you want England to never win the world cup we need to look else where. We have one of the most talented England teams for years thats why so many people want the job.
