I see Jurgen Klinsmann has ruled himself out of the England job -


Gareth Southgate will serve as interim coach for England's next four matches. Klinsmann had ranked sixth at UniBet UK among the favourites to replace Allardyce behind Alan Pardew, Steve Bruce, Eddie Howe, Glenn Hoddle and Southgate.

The phrase 'embarrassment of riches' springs to mind. Not.

Agreed but I would go for Hoddle again.

England were embarrassed at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil, exiting the competition in the group stages after defeats to Italy and Uruguay, and then suffered humiliation at Euro 2016 after being dumped out of the tournament in France by minnows Iceland.

But could it have been a different story for England had they accepted the call from a certain Pep Guardiola in 2012?

The Catalan coach had just entered into a 12-month sabbatical following four exhausting years as the head coach of Barcelona but was apparently interested in the prospect of becoming England manager - for some reason.

Clough all over again

We ceased to be a major football nation 45 years ago, so this question really is academic.

Bandying around the names of top international managers is ridiculous - why give up a job at a top club to manage a middling tier national team?

We'd be better off getting one of the lesser-known European coaches who's worked with some of the up and coming African sides, or maybe the Icelandic coach?  All would be well-practised at getting the best out of modestly-talented groups of players and wouldn't come with any Premier League baggage.

Really don't care about England anymore.  Football is GTFC for me.

I've followed England away in the past but I stopped giving a excrement when Rio Ferdinand was questioned at the airport, he was going on his holiday immediately after another early World Cup exit.

The reporter asked him if he had a comment to make on his teams shambolic performance at the World Cup, when he sarcastically replied " what World Cup"  it's not all but when the players don't even give a excrement what's the point.

Arsene Wenger contract at arsenal runs out this year, he will find support from within the FA ranks I am sure, and with Gareth Southgate only being installed for the next 4 qualifying games could be a possibility? Not suggesting he would be my first choice but open for discussion as home grown candidates aren't exactly standing out at present.
I do expect southgate after 4 successful games to be offered it permanently though.
