want him as England manager?
Sometimes I wish he weren't such a nice man and would publicly tell them all to get ****ed.

Christ, imagine what they'd do to him in the inevitable event of England's failure at the next tournament :-(Quote:

england will win with him in charge imo plus means we get a new manager..win win :)
Also, why when speculating do the press always seem to overlook the fact that one of the consistent themes of his career is that he always sees out his contracts?Quote:

Apart from at Nancy and Grampus 8 you mean (which is quite a high percentage of his clubs he managed, and he was sacked by the only other one)Quote:

If we can pick a foreigner why can't we pick a dead man? Still be more interesting than Gerrard.Quote:

Even if he was no longer in our employment I'd want him to steer well clear, does not deserve the inevitable abuseQuote:

To be fair, there’s not really anyone in the media who has ever suggested he’s a fundamentally bad manager. On the contrary, everyone almost universally agrees he’s a very good one, but also a stubborn one who is overly bound to his principles.Quote:

It's a misreporting of their culinary habits. Should be "Grampus ate".Quote:

Good thing he's with us. :) The Jazzer.
