Surely Eriksson should go straight away?

Surely his incentive to do well at the world cup would be that it he won it, he could probably get any job in the world.

Assuming you mean any football job, why would he risk waiting? His 'agent' is already touting for his new job, and has been all the time Eriksson has had the England job. Remember his negotiations with Chelsea? If he has any sense, Eriksson will want his new employment fixed before the WC starts. If England fail (and all recent history suggests they will), Eriksson will definitely now be blamed without mercy. He won't want it affecting his job prospects negatively, so he needs something in place by June. The FA will get fed up with him before then though.

Are you saying that with a English manager we would have beaten Brazil? dream on.

[Roger Rebel]

Is Northern Ireland in the Finals?

[Roger Rebel]

And an English manager would for the love of the Country,thats why they threaten court action when they are sacked.

[richierebel]

all those people that are touting sam alardyce for the job, yes he has done a great job at Bolton but have you seen the style of football Bolton play, would you want to see England playing in that way? I think not

[Nathan]

Surely its results that counts, not the style of play?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

that style of play might not produce results against the likes of brazil

Did I say that, Roger?

Erikkson is the highest paid manager at club or country level in the world. Any half decent English manager would have got us to the quarter finals of the last world cup but maybe not have beaten Brazil as you suggest.

Why then should we be paying X million pounds a year for no better job than anyboy else could do? Do you think he's done a good job then?! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Well the media haven't exactly made his job easier have they?

[HorshamRebel]

Surely the Sports editor of the NOTW (Or any other ragmag) should become the next manager of England. They believe that they know better than anyone else. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Just do what the NFL does. Interview as many candidates as possible, whittle down the list, interview them again, whittle it down further until you have the right man. If Pearce should get the job, who's to say the FA shouldn't do what the Irish FA did when Steve Staunton took the job? Get an experienced manager in who can be a sort of advisor for him on a short term basis while he learns the job.

Indeed and Sir Bobby would be the ideal candidate for that role

What does he do if England play the Republic? Advise each side for a half each?

[Martin]

I didn't mean he would do both roles.

That's the problem ARAAS, all our press & tabloids....

Those nasty tabloids,- they MADE Eriksson negotiate for other more lucrative jobs while under contract, they MADE him conduct illicit and sordid affairs including with a subordinate employee, they MADE him betray the confidence of his colleagues and employers, they MADE him lobby for a job that someone else already has, and they MADE him appear to be only interested in money and self gratification. Well how unlucky can Eriksson get, when all he has dreamed of all his life is leading his (err..someone elses) country to World Cup victory just for the sheer pleasure of doing so.

From BBC:

 

"Sven Goran Eriksson will be allowed to line up his next job before quitting England after the World Cup - with the blessing of the Football Association."

 

What if that 'next job' was for example, coach of Sweden?

..................or the purchase and management of Slough Town.

Now there's a thought !

[Guest]

That's not what I was implying Anon, I said it's his choice what he does in his private life and he did screw up up with the NOTW and crossed a big line.

My point with the tabloids is with our national sports teams/individuals, they like to build tham all up and then seem intent to knock them down which IMO isn't helpful.

I dont care who he shags as long as we win the world cup. even you anon.

Depends on your standards I suppose.
