The media obsession to bring Glenn Hoddle back into management is quite baffling. It's all very odd. I wouldn't be surprised if Southgate gets the gig until the summer before Wenger takes up the post. Gives him the perfect semi retirement job and the ideal way to leave Arsenal. He would be the perfect candidate as well. The problem with Wenger getting the job is that I don't believe we've got the technical ability in our squad to play the wenger way. I wouldn't be against it I'm just not sure it would work or that he'd want that kind of stress at this point in his life, he seems quite relaxed at Arsenal. quite, one of the best paid (£7m a year isn't it) and easiest jobs in football. You don't have to win anything just make Kroenke a f**k load of money

The International manager's job is not to coach players. It's not to get them fitter. It's not to train them. There isn't the time for any of that for the International manager. All he has to do is organise them. Provide a team structure, and put them on the pitch. He also has to be a very good motivator.
Give the job to Ollie.

Benitez isn't a motivator he hardly talks to the players from what I've read players say.

For someone who's very tactically sharp and has a very good record managing in knockout competitions, I'm surprised his name hasn't been mentioned more.

It's well know that whilst Benitez is a great tactician he's not a motivator. Motivation is what England need. I think Benitez would be a terrible fit but it's all about opinions. I wouldn't be surprised if he was appointed I wouldn't trust the FA to tie their own shoelaces.

What's the quickest way out of Wembley? Southgate.

What's the quickest way out of Wembley? Southgate. I think in terms of football ability our squad was easily good enough to beat all three group opponents and certainly Iceland too. Motivation bravery and belief are what's missing more than ability I reckon. Soon as Iceland got the equaliser you could see the fear in our players eyes. They were sh**ting themselves and after that everything went to pot. Capello was right they do play with fear of failure. We need a motivational setup that's going to install bravery and belief in the squad in a similar way that DC has with us.

Outside of penalties, we've won two knock out games in major competitions since 1990. Wales equalled that in Euro 2016 alone.

NOOOOOOOOOOO, no, no, no, no, no! What's he going to do? Get faith healers in to rub holistic crystals over players injuries? Ask him what they should do about the disabled parking spaces outside Wembley 'cos according to him, they are being punished for crimes they committed in a previous life. Fool, we should want no truck with a human being like that. Rant over. UTG! Was a great footballer, but comes across as a when co-commentating. He's stuck in the 80's and if he's the best we can drag up I'd rather go foreign again That's the thing that came to my mind when listening to him last season. Was positive generally in what he said but was stuck in the past ,been out of football far to long to be considered surely. Might as well give the job go Rooney he seems to dictate to the managers anyway...... Why not try something different......Steven Gerard. As has been said it's about organising and motivating and passing on experience. SG with a few advisors to help ......

Benitez would be a good choice, in my opinion, as would Ranieri.

He was a disaster when in charge of the Greek national team!

Somebody like Neil Warnock must be a better bet than another foreign manager, although I can't believe our national set up is now being run by two failures at club level, Southgate & Boothroyd.
As far as somebody saying Wales are doing better than England then doesn't that suggest it's not the quality of players which is the issue as, bar Bale, the English players are better players.

I reckon Gareth will surprise us. No expectations, he can just get on with it. He should do something about the Spurs contingent though, their style of play is easy to defend against. When Kane's marked tight it all gets stodgy

Rafa with stevie G as his assistant, not many options really.

Up to the point where Keegan was dumped, and the FA then realised there was nothing much left in the English managerial pot, someone like "Big Sam" wouldn't have even been on the reserve list for consideration. Southgate would have made the tea for the interviews.
There's no-one left to consider as a feasible English England manager except Eddie Howe, in my opinion. And even he's not ideal for the job at the momentt, since he has yet to win honours at a top level and does not have a proven ability to deal with top senior experienced professionals. But he's the best we have, and he's barely put a foot wrong so far.
