[Wozza]

Let's hope so.

Why? No one else would do as good a job as him for England

So the England team are just crap and can't win anything?

Well we have been for the last 60 years so I don't see why changing the manager will suddenly turn us into world-beaters - it never has before. Before Sven we've had Keegan, Hoddle, Venables, Taylor, Robson, Greenwood, Revie, Ramsey, and Winterbottom plus a few caretakers and all we've got to show for it is one flukey World Cup on home soil. Basically we're the Coventry City of internation football. All managers start by being lauded as the best thing since sliced bread and eventually the press and public turn on them. No Sven isn't the greatest manager of all time (although he is possibly the best one England have ever had) and yes he makes mistakes. But I'll let you into a secret - the new guy will make mistakes too.

(Come on Easy, tell us how changing the manager will make us world-beaters. I'd rather talk about England, golf and cricket than the Albion today if you don't mind).

Sven can go to Madrid, bring in Bobby Robson, win the World Cup in Germany. Job done - easy as that!

that would be great!

Why?

He's a twat who can't keep his cock in his pants and his face off the front pages of tabloids.

He's rubbish at handling our 'star' players - ie won't drop the old guard even when they're turning in consistently bad performances.

He hasn't got a clue tactically - see: Portugal, Brazil etc.

Apart from that, he's GRATE.

By etc, I presume you mean France. The ONLY other competitive game Sven has lost. And we drew the Portugal game anyway.

Why would Robson come back?

He spent the best part of 8 years being cruicifed by the press, anyone remember the headline 'In the name of Allah go'? after we drew with Saudi Arabia.

At the end of the day England only started playing in 1990 after the senior players got him to change the system so we had 3 centre backs.

Finally the FA treated him like shite, so he skipped off to manage in Europe.

So games like, say, the home draw with Macedonia or the away draw with Austria don't count as bad results!?!?

And we drew the Portugal game anyway.

No, we lost on penalties. We went out of the tournament. The players came home.

We looked like losing from the point Rooney went off. A Portugal equaliser looked more inevitable as each minute passed - and Sven did nothing about it.

Macedonia is irrelevant because at the end of the day we qualified for the comp in first place

As it stands now, 4 points from 2 away fixtures will do me fine thanks

Svens not going anywhere

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has accepted Jose Antonio Camacho's resignation as coach.

Perez has appointed his deputy Mariano Garcia Remon as caretaker-coach.

Camacho had tendered his resignation on Sunday after the club's poor start to the season, which continued with a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol on Saturday.

That loss came hot on the heels of Wednesday's Champions League 3-0 drubbing at Bayer Leverkusen which drew fierce criticism in Spain.

The 49-year-old Camacho had only been in the post since taking over from Carlos Queiroz in May.

Queiroz was fired after the nine-times European champions could only reach the last eight of the Champions League last season and finished fourth in La Liga.

Queiroz sacked by Real

Camacho was a stalwart with Real as a player, making more than 400 appearances between 1973-89 and winning nine Spanish league titles, three Spanish Cups and two Uefa Cups.

He won 81 caps for Spain and played in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups.

His resignation ends his second stint as coach at Real, where he lasted just three weeks in the summer of 1998 before also walking out - that time over a disagreement with former chairman Lorenzo Sanz.

Camacho then went on to coach the Spanish national side for four years, after which he returned to the Bernabeu via a short stint with Portugal's Benfica.

I wouldn't bet against it.

 

[Northstander]

I would like to see someone come in with some balls!! Like O'Neil, someone who would not think twice about Beckham or Owen being played or not if he was out of form or injured.

The prima donnas need telling their place is not guaranteed so get out on that pitch and prove why I should give you the shirt!

We DO have the players to win something!!
