Next England Manager?

[Dreamkiller]

I hope Harry Redknapp pulls clear of this job ...... remember the fiasco when he was going to , wasn't , was , wasn't , was , definately wasn't and did take the job at Portsmouth. I feel in this day and age it would be nice if the England job didn't attract any (more) contraversy.
Whoever takes the job (I can't see the attraction ..... oh yeah the £2.5 million pay off) will have a limited bunch of prima donna players who don't really care imho whether the qualify or not. Oh sorry they do ... imagine the ear-ache from the WAGS when they realise they won't any more publicity .......

Just finished watching Revista De La Liga (Spanish leagues' Match of the Day) and the two presenters claim that Mourinho is 90% certain to take the Real Madrid job next season, and it is this that he is waiting for not the England job. Then the presenters went on to say that the rumours in Spain were the F.A. have spoken to Bernd Schuster about him taking the England job and with the Mourinho rumours in Madrid making him have low security of a job next season he may jump ship now and take the England job, which would probably result in Mourinho taking over at Madrid.

Anyway i've had a small punt on Schuster just in case any of these rumours are true at 180/1 at Betfair.

Yeah i had read that article but Mourinho agreeing to talk to the F.A. doesn't mean the F.A. and Mourinho will agree everything that he will take over, hence why many people are still betting on other managers on Betfair etc. My point was that at 180/1 for Schuster, if the F.A. apparently want to speak to him is true is worth a couple of quid. I'd be happy to lose a couple of quid if Mourinho was the one to take over but i've just taken it as a long shot.

My money is on G.Houllier.

Probably time to lay Redknapp following the news that he's been arrested by police inestigating corruption in football. Even if he's released without charge, can't see the FA touching him, they're so scared of scandal.

Guys, FYI...
...Portuguese State TV just announced that Jorge Mendes (Mourinho's agent) is discussing with the English FA the details of a possible contract...

SSN have got breaking news up from his agent, but there not saying anything yet.

[PAULM03]

If true, this can only end in tears. Mourinho is going to waste at least two years of his prime managing England. If he's got any of the sense he was born with he'll get a contract offer, show Real how much we've offered him and get them to match it.

[Carl]

the problem with Real etc is even if he won the league he'd probably get sacked

he could always follow svens foot-steps ( no not shagging prossies) but take the England Job then come back to the prem and manage Rovers.
By which time sparky will be at Utd.

Sven Goran Eriksson 100/1

If Israel get a result vs England then he'll be for the chop...

None of the above appeal to me (Psycho, I suppose?) but has anyone else seen any others (Like Gus Hiddink?)

Where's Capello?? Hire Him.

[frankcastle]

How about Rehaggel? His contract is up after Euro 2008.

[AK1979]

I just cant see Mourinho taking the job, i really cant. I certainly wouldnt take the job if I was in his position.

Rehaggels an interesting suggestion. His style of play would probably be suited to us.

Portuguese Sports Newspaper "A Bola" says "online" that Brian Barwick, FA chief-executive, offered Mourinho (via Jorge Mendes) a 4 and a half years, 25 Million Euro contract.
They also say that Mourinho has until next friday to make a decision.

Mourinho just ruled himself out of the running for England job.

Even with Mourinho ruling himself out of the job i don't think they will give it to Capello either due to his apparent limitations of speaking English but not sure who will get it now.

and also an italian managing england doesnt ring a bell because of the football differences

[AK1979]

Wide open now - cant really see Capello or Lippi getting it either.
Klinsmann is getting popular but how would a German managing the English side go down? I suppose he was popular enough when he was over here playing for S***s but managing the national side is a different kettle of fish....

I think the final appointment will surprise us all.

[Maguire]

Capello named England boss


"
The Football Association has confirmed that Fabio Capello is the new England manager and the Italian has signed a four-and-a-half year contract after the FA Board ratified his appointment on Thursday.
The 61-year-old will officially start work on January 7."
