I would rather a winner than potter or howe both useless

Did he really though Andy
What’s his win percentage at Brighton I bet it’s not 40 per cent

Don't get me wrong when he was at Chelsea I loved Jose - he got things right

His "spine" of the team was superb

A great title winning team has a good goalie, good centre-halves, good centre midfielders and a good striker

Chelsea had that to perfection

Just like say Man United, Man City and Arsenal did

That "spine" has to be good

We have good players particularly in forward areas
It’s just basic stuff for euros / world cups
Plus motivation
You can’t turn us into Man City in 4 weeks and potter thinks he’s like pep when in reality he just plays without a forward and over loads the midfield ends up 70 percent possession without a shot at goal

Some of these players, especially those in the back line, if born 10-15 years earlier wouldn't get near the England squad

Regards Dave.
My choice would be Teucal the ex Chelsea manager, understands Premier league & European football, be interesting to see other members thoughts.
Regards Dave

I'll give you one a bit from "left field"

Zinedine Zidane

You cannot argue with his record

Nothing against that as he’s not a coach just needs to manager players

He managed a team of superstars to great success at Real Madrid

You can't say that he didn't live up to the pressure to perform there

England needs a manager to bring these young players through. England have always had too many individual superstars. Team players needed to blend together, playing a good fast football touch and go. Not players keeping hold of the ball turning and twisting getting nowhere. Then laying it back to the back players or the keeper, I dont feel there is a English manager to fill this roll.

They ought to go back to how it used to be. Only allowing 2 foreign players to play in a team. At least then the English players would get more game time. Most of the top clubs hardly have an English player playing regularly.
