Should have got Fergie in.

Hopefully he will completely f..k up and proove that he shoudn't be allowed anywhere near the full England managers job.

No thanks - don't want that drunkard representing us.

But if he wins it doesn't that indicate he's at least semi-profficient? Just playing devils advocate, I think he's a crap manager and we'll do badly.

... which, incidentally, Brazil have still never won.

Yet Argentina have and call up messi, tevez etc.... They seem to take it seriously.

I hope he goes nowhere the main England team. Whilst he was undoubtedly a very good player for England, as a coach he is a caricature for everything that is wrong with English football. A proponent of the fist pumping, eye bulging, 'they don't like it uppem' style game. Football has moved on.

If you want some proof of why he would be an emphatic failure: just look at how poorly the Under 21s did at the last Championships they were in, also at the last time England promoted someone from the backroom.

I am not worried though, as soon as Great Britain are inevitably passed of the pitch by a youthful Bolivian outfit - people will realise that Stuart Pearce is certainly not the man for the 1st team job.

As I understand it it's an 'U23 World Cup' (plus a couple of oldies/Beckham are allowed in the side too). Qualification is based on U21 results, so Pearce makes sense I suppose. Not that I rate him as a manager.

However it is held in August. I can't see any Premier League team releasing their top young players in August.....

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Should appease some of the gimps on here because he sings the national anthem. We will of course be crap though.

Very this. I certainly hope he doesn't get the full time job (I don't think he will, personally)

Team GB's strips, including the football kits, are to be unveiled in Spring - apparently adidas have got their top designers on it. I'm not fussed about Stuart Pearce, but would love to snap up a GB football shirt when they are unveiled.
