Stuart Pearce all the way. Bring back the passion.

It has got to be either Guus Hiddink or Steve Mclaren. The latter preferably because I feel he is the only English manager with international experience by being at Eriksson's side during many national matches.
James Kelly, England, Amesbury

Why has the next England manager got to be English? I can only think it's xenophobia because it surely can't be on track record or talent. Sam Allardyce is the best of a mediocre bunch but he's yet to achieve anything. He's not in the same class as Wenger, Mourinho, Hiddink or Capello. Why don't we make one of them an offer they cannot refuse! I don't care about nationality of the coach I just want England to win something.

The almost-perfect choice would be Martin O'Neill. We have seen how good he managed a mediocre team like Leicester and big team like Glasgow Celtic. He has proved that he's good on both. Why not give him a try?

Appointing Fabio Capello would be great for the England team. He would be able to ensure the team structure and their performance on the pitch would be as a team and not wholly rely on individual brilliance.

The England team is probably one of the best in the world and should have a coach who knows international tactics with a blend of domestic shrewdness. England under Sven Goran Eriksson have improved a lot. They will only improve further with Fabio Capello as the new manager.

Anyone who wants to see McClaren as manager should have watched the Roma game. Middlesborough didn't have one decent move, and that's the sort of England we want to see? Do the players under his management learn any ball control? There certainly was no evidence of that in the week! Anyone but McClaren! Please!
Jamie, Germany

I keep hearing Martin O'Neill, and I keep asking why? Leicester were boring to watch and ask any Celtic fan what they were like under O'Neill, long ball to the big lads. Do we want that for England? Got to be Big Sam, great man-management and shows he can handle the "name" players.

In response to the comment about Martin O'Neill's management technique at Leicester and Celtic. Yes, Leicester might have been boring and as a Celtic fan, yes he did coach Celtic to play the long ball to the big men up front, but what you have to remember is that he got results. England have tried to play attractive football and where has it got you? A World Cup win almost 40 years ago. So would you rather have attractive football that wins you nothing or a manager that will get results when you need them?

I am very surprised that no-one recognises the qualities of Steve Coppell. An ex-international of some standing, extensive not always easy managerial experience at a top level and currently leading Reading to runaway success in the First Division. Also very unlikely to end up as front page news for the wrong reasons!
