On what I've seen, the best of the best came out of the Boro-Charlton replay. The best was Boro winning 4-2 so obviously, it has to be McClaren. He has succeeded in being the Boro manager, he has a good profile with the England players that he has to be the new England manager

I have heard that the FA have made a shortlist of four, with O'Neill, McClaren, Allardyce and Curbs. How can they possibly write off big Phil? He is the one manager that we can win the World Cup with, and he wants the job.
The FA should look at the talent all the candidates have, not just go for someone with an English background. The FA are scared that a non-Brit will turn out to be like another Sven, but I can guarantee that big Phil is different - nothing like Sven.

How the FA allowed Guus Hiddink to sign a contract with Russia is unbelievable. His credentials are above anyone else who's been mentioned as Eriksson's possible successor and his appointment would be a scoop for England.
No disrespect but Curbishley, McLaren, O'Neill and Allardyce are just not in the same league. Hiddink has more international experience and more importantly more results than those four combined.
I think Barwick & Co are too scared to appoint a non-English manager, so will be interesting to see who they decide to go for in the end.

Do we really want to see England play like Bolton? No way. Sam has done a great job, but that kind of football simply will not do at international level. McLaren must now get the job. There is no Englishman better qualified.
Why would Curbishley get it? Why Pearce? Decent young managers in the making, yes. Successful coaches at the highest level? No. McLaren has won plaudits at all levels.

Steve McClaren? Please, give us a break! His team might have achieved a couple of worthy cup results but with the talent he has, they languish in the bottom half of the Premier League - not exactly the credential of a potential national manager.
I'd pick the manager of Grimsby Town before McClaren. If it has to be British (why?) let it be either O'Neill or Allardyce.

Martin O'Neill the only man for the job! You don't need a coach, that's been the problem with England, making players play differently and in different positions to the way that got them into the squad in the first place.
O'Neill is the ultimate motivator and that's whets needed. His record at my club Leicester, Celtic and Wycombe speaks for itself, he gets players to play to their max.
