Needs more than passion to succeed with a team full of half - wits!

They gotta consider this lad, shirley?!

He'd be an absolute mug to take it, mind.

i'd go along with jose.think of the laughs we'd have

Personally I'd favour Mourinho, he's a proven winner and knows how to handle the media to his advantage too, and it's all water off a duck's back to him. He's got the ego to match the size of the job.

What's Shearer ever won, as player or manager? Hardly a trophy cabinet brimming with anything other than sycophantic comments from pundits!

O'Neill's mad as a box of frogs, think he'd struggle with a team where he was only allowed to pick Englishmen.

WENGER is the ONLY MAN for the job. but he's hopeless at training Englishmen.

i'd still go for Goose Hoodwink, personally.

Harsh comment. Shearer could've won shedloads ... if he'd chosen ManYoo over Newcastle. Ferguson wanted him, of that there's no question. There wasn't a better striker in England at that time.

But he joined his hometown team, the club he supported as a boy.

For that he should be commended.

Football needs more people like that.

EDIT: Didn't he win the league with Blackburn, anyhoo?

Yes, one trophy, yet he is supposedly the messiah to the BBC, who he happens to work for. I'd fookin' join my hometown team for a 500% payrise, even if they were shit and didn't expect to win anything!

Do you mean the kind of commitment when, as England captain, he was going to refuse to play for his country if the FA charged him for deliberately kicking someone in the face?

Fuck Shearer,what does he care about England? He bailed out as a player at what,28 years old...He'd only want it for personal prestige,on that evidence.

Chris Nash wrote: You're far funnier though Gaz... Merton doesn't like working with people funnier than him. That's why he's limited to 'Have I got News For You?'

I'll take that as a compliment mate

and id probably do a better job than McLaren

I liked the guy who was interviewed outside Weberly last night who said we need someone English like Martin O'Neil.

Seems like a nice way to make a living though - take a job, fuck it up, trouser more money than most people dream of earning in their lifetime.

Jobsa!

Though doleful, McClaren spoke with dignity and refused to blame anyone else for the shortcomings his side showed throughout their botched qualification campaign. "I could make excuses about injuries, bad luck and decisions but ultimately we had 12 games to qualify and we didn't do it," he said. "That's failure. I said 18 months ago that I'd live and die by results and the results haven't gone my way."

That's kind of making excuses though, isn't it.

Why didn't he just say "Thanks for the cash, losers"?

Nice one, Bonz

No, I'm a Worcester City fan who enjoys watching Sunderland and Man Utd when they are on the telly. Worcester City mean much more to me than any other club ever has and ever will, when I played the game and since I've been reduced to watching it. Never had anything against Shearer as a player, he delivered when he played for England on many occasions, I just don't think what England needs right now is someone who isn't an experienced coach. The fact he's a Geordie is irrelevant to me, the only rivalry I understand in football is against the K bastards, and the chances of Kidder ever having someone up to scratch as a manager are nil. The BBC have always been so far up his arse though it makes the whole situation laughable for me.

...is the best centre forward we've had since Lineker. and better than Lineker. not as good as Fowler mind
