Never been convinced by Bruce
Howe is too young, would be a shame to wreck his career before it really gets going (not many England managers recover properly from being England manager).
Without wishing to sound like a little englander, I really don't want a german managing the english team.
Why not? The chap in charge of the Yanks is pretty good.
I would prefer Klinsmann to be honest, but if it has to be an English manager then fat sam is the best option.

Anyone who hadn't been sacked before for reasons that haven't gone away.

Can I ask, if you had and employee who was pretty good at his job, but you sacked because they were just utterly nuts. Believed a whole load of really crazy stuff that reflected badly on your organisation. Would you take them back again years later, because you'd never found anyone better at the job since? Even though they hadn't changed their views at all, and exactly the same issues that you'd sacked them for before were still relevant?

I honestly don't understand these calls for Hoddle. Have people completely forgotten why he had to go initially.

+ He was ste at Spurs, worse at Wolves and has remained unemployed (in a management capacity ever since), why would that be if he was some sort of management god?

I too don't get the Hoddle love in.

Exacty, David Dein! David Gill! When will it stop?!?!??! poxy spurs mafia!

I reckon the calls for Hoddle probably date back to it being the last England team you could actually watch an england team without wanting to stab yourself with a rusty screwdriver.

I'd rather have an England team in the doldrums for another few decades that let Hoddle anywhere near it. In fact if Hoddle were manager, I'd support the opposition, be it Germany or Argentina. He is not a fit and proper person to be England manager and I'd get far more pleasure out of seeing him lose than I would by England winning.

Maybe some things are more important. It would appear some people would be happy to have Ian Huntley as England manager if he could get us to a semi.

I can only assume the Hoddle fanboys don't have any disabled family or friends. So the hurt and disappointment his appointment would cause doesn't matter to them.

He appears to be a Chelsea fan, so of course it's not.

And Hoddle wasn't sacked for his beliefs he was sacked for upsetting the disabled by espousing those beliefs. Many people hold those same beliefs much as many hold other spiritual beliefs however unpleasant they be.

Didn't Hoddle used to be Chelsea's manager? Or have I imagined that.

And whilst many people have odd beliefs (like believing God is actually real and other bizarre stuff), I'm not sure many people hold the very strange and rather disturbing beliefs re reincarnation that Hoddle holds. His world view really is quite speshul.

Dragging the England team along to a faith healer is not good. It legitimises fraud and thicker members of our society assume there must be something in it if the England manager endorses it.

He shouldn't be let within a million miles of the England job.

Let us not get sidetracked by his comments - his performance as manager may look reasonable on paper, but he's the same as all England managers - flatters to deceive in friendlies and qualifying groups, fails miserably in tournaments.

His club management career was mostly awful, too.

Big Sam for me. If he can get us playing as a team, defending properly, playing counter-attacking football, then we actually have a chance of winning something. Both Portugal and Wales proved that in Euro 16.

Yes he did. But I don't think the manager even matters that much when the whole system is rotten, and would take a generation to fix even if we started today.
