As sad as it is, I think the billy big balls of the national team would have no respect for curbs. Everything that is wrong with the set up. You might not like Harry- but if we are going for an English man then. He is the best candidate currently.
I seem to remember Danny Murphy thinking that he was bigger than curbs didn't last long at the club. Curbs would pick players who wanted to play for England and wanted to part of a team. He would accept that the job would only last until the summer and then he might be offered another position in the English leagues. I am certain he would settle for that. The FA's dilemna would be that he could get them to defend and play as team and what if by doing that he did well? One thing is for certain, if he was chosen I think we all know who his captain would be.
How about this. Let Harry and his assistant manager Rosie the dog take England to the Euros. The whole thing is going to be a disaster anyway and ruined by the hooligans who are gonna turn the whole thing into a bloodbath. Lets set up Chris Powell as assistant manager for the Olympics under the guidance of Pearce. That will give him the expirience he needs and prepare him for a life in the Championship with us.
Can the FA say they want an English manager? Aren't there rules against that sort of thing? I have ruled myself out of the running but I gather IA may still be interested
someone else touched on it.... if pardew ever managed england i'd support rep of ireland or scotland instead.
Martin O'Neil would be my short term choice for the Euro's. He's rejuvenated Sunderland fairly quickly. But ultimately I couldn't care less. Sad as that is. I think Charlton's demise has helped contribute to this viewpoint in a way - football at this level (and even the Championship to an extent) seems so much purer and free from greed that sometimes just watching England's Prima Donna's (most of whom form-wise don't deserve to play) is often a horrible dirty experience, much like internet pornography.
Completely agree with you Kish. And on a side note, love the comparison to internet pornography If we come up against a Premier League team in the Cup next year, I call for a round of; "Its just like watching RedTube, its just like watching RedTube, its just like watching RedTube"
There are more cocks, arse-holes, twats and tits playing in the Premiership than there are playing on the whole of Redtube.
Deary me, I do believe some of these young ladies would benefit from etiquette and deportment classes at Madame Clitouri's Finishing School for Girls... I am deeply shocked.
Onest Arry hasn't actually thought about the England job- he just said so. When the FA tells him about the job, which they will, they might want to teach him to write. He told police he writes like a 2-year-old; have you ever seen a 2-year-old's writing?
