Just 5 weeks till Euro 2012 squads announced.....

......And we still don't have a manager

Anyone else concerned by this? The FA don't seem to be.

I think it's fair to say once again we'll maintain our record of a being a complete shambles at an overseas tournament.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not concerned at all. We have zero chance anyway.

 

[ees complicated no?]

They cant say its Harry until the prem has finished.

 

[strings]

It'll be fine. We weren't going to win it anyway.

Nevertheless, the FA will wait until the season ends, before engaging in a month long tussle with Harry Redknapp, who will eventually turn the job down. Pearce will be called up from the Olympic squad at the last minute.

This chain of events will allow the FA to mess up our chances in both the Euros, and the Olympics.

I think you've called it spot on there. The only omission is that after finishing 6th Spurs fans will moan that they would have won the double if it wasn't for press speculation unsettling the team.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I can list the excuses for future tournaments now. This summer ? appointed a manager too late. WC in Brazil ? too hot. WC in Russis ? tot cold. WC in Qatar - not enough alcohol. We will never win an international tournament any time soon.

your second line comment has answered your first line question

There'd be something wrong with the world if we weren't a complete shambles.

 

[brunswick]

is it just me that doesn't give a flying f00k about the olympics football tournament?

euros - worst prep ever for a major tournament, no expectation - probably go and win it as no pressure.....anyone know the odds on england at present? actually worth a punt for once.

Seen them at 11/1 on oddschecker. Maybe stick them in a Sir Chris Hoy win double......

The general consensus of the people I have spoken to is that the Olympics football tournament doesn't really count for anything. I am of the opposite opinion, because it will happen for us just this one time, I am pretty excited about it.

Plus, all of the big names will be in the England squad guaranteeing that all the team GB players will (hopefully) play like the tournament means something.

11's ?? unreal - should be more like 20's at least.....damn bookies.

 

[blue'n'white]

We've got sod all chance in the Euros anyway and we're going to waste a striker's place on taking that waste of space Rooney who will get one game before we sneak home with our collective tails between our legs again
Frankly don't care who the manager is as long as it isn't Poyet ! Ididn't want 'Arry as I have a certain affection for Spurs but I think they could be well shot of him

 

[Napper]

Not concerned and have a funy feeling it may in some f ked up way Galvanise us.

Lets face it , we have previously gone into tournaments and stayed in the best hotels , had the best prep , we've gone into it them good form , average form and poor form and we pretty much always are shit.

The longer this situation goes on the less pressure gets built.

If we had a settled manager you could guarentee all the tabloids would be going mad and building us up by now. I'm actually liking the lack of excitement for a change

A first for me in as much that I have mostly completely forgotten there was a tournament this summer.

 

[terryberry1]

I actually think we will do ok in the Euro's. We are expected to fail miserably and that can only be good for the players. It's probably the only tournament in my lifetime where there is virtually no pressure on us to win the thing. Also an ideal opportunity for the new manager to come in, He will be given time.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I suspect Spurs fans now want Rednapp to take the job.

Also surely the FA must be having doubt bearing in mind Spurs have reverted to type in 2012.

 

[Durlston]

My tenner on Roy Hodgson to become next permanent England manager (16/1) still has a chance, especially as 'arry is having doubts about the poisoned chalice.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

In the Euros this time the team has zero expectation from the public. Will sponsors still support it? Will it be hyped?

No one cares about the Olympic team anyway, it will be a cobbled together politically correct mix of home nations that do not boycott it. As for the England manager? let Pearce take the team to the Ukraine. He has done all the preparation and will be home in time for the Olympics

 

[seagull_special]

First time in my 46yrs that I am not interested in a major tournament, will never forget that sarcastic throwback Rooney applauding the fans after the most shambolic performance from an English team ever! I just can't stand the England players anymore
