Manager Race

This post is not revolved around endless online, and may not concern many readers.

For anyone who is English, or anyway that reads the sports recently, you'll know that England were knocked out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers, and along with them went our manager, Steve maclaren.

Twas a sad match to watch, and even sadder were the consequences, there won't be anything in terms of football for us Englishmen to cheer about next year, but I'll still watch Euro, I'll be supporting Germany =D.

However, with Mr. Maclaren now out of the job, it leaves the gap for you can replace him. Most fans want jose mourinho, the bookies favourite was martin o'neill (who recently said he didn't want it), and so many more names have been thrown in to the hat that you could start a league with them. However, with this Capello character, whom managed AC Milan, Juventus, Roma and Real Madrid, now at first to be picked it raises serious alarm bells for our country. Do we really want this stupid, almost unheard of, forgien club manager that never played the game himself running our team for us? I say no.

Personally, i would back the following :

Alan Shearer : Has a great mind of the game and a unique perspective, including the ability to watch and analyse a match whilst it's being played, and can make great decisions.

Jurgen Klinsmann : Great German player in his day, spent time at an English club, managed Germany to the world cup final in his first year. Said he's love the job. Contains almsot the same abilities as shearer.

I see one of these two as the way forward for England, not some fruity tooty club manager that's no-ones heard of, or someone that doesn't even want the job just the money (Mourinho), let's get in the talent.
