New England Manager.

[Gwylan]

nobody is going to do a better job than capello - if he does go we might as well just give up now

This.

We have one of the top managers in the game right now and if he can't do anything, no-one else would do much better.

And I can't believe the calls for an English manager - look what happened last time we ignored foreign candidates and went English.

Those touting for Hodgson seem to forget that there's a very good chance of him being named l'pool manager this week, and I don't believe he would turn that down and having taken it, would be in the job for 2 years minimum - then it could be his last job in management at his age. Not saying he'd be a bad Eng manager, I think he is one of the best we have, just don't think it will happen.

He may be one of the best CLUB managers around and we did qualify comfortably, but it seems that once you are at a tournament, you need a different skill set as a manager. The pressures on the players and the manager are quite different at a tournament than in normal day to day football. As the players and coaching staff are living on top of each other for 5 or 6 weeks, with long periods when nothing is happening, keeping the players relaxed and stress free but totally focused is a difficult balance. Maradonna's rather carefree approach with the Argies is quite different to Capello's iron rule and we will see over the next few weeks which brings the best results.

Because there is no difference in the quality of players in the squad. Carragher and Heskey would walk into the Argentina squad.

They walk in ours too.

if we had the attacking force that argentina had rather than being a one-man team that isnt performing because the one man is having a mare by his standards currently, then we would have walked into the second already and people would be clamouring for capello to get a night hood

Err....Colloccini and Jonas Gutierrez?!? Their strikeforce is MILES better than ours but over the whole squad there's not a huge gap.

Gerrard, Lampard, Ashley Cole and Rio would all walk into their squad.

Steve MacLaren anybody??

It's said that the England manager's job is a poisoned chalice. Well, whatever the pressure on the position it's just doubled.

I think it's disgraceful the way the players have reacted to adversity; Cappello has basically taken the squad that failed to qualify for Euro 2008, stayed loyal to them AND got them to the finals, and yet we have one really bad result (the USA draw was not, as it turns out, a disaster) and the players are against him.

I'm not sure Redknapp would take the job. Who the hell would want to work with this bunch of cretins?

are the players really against him, or is it the press desperately trying to stir things as per usual.
Of course Redknapp would take it, mores the pity

I'd like Martin O'Neil or Harry Redknapp .
