This same group has failed with four different coaches.

I have to confess I thought you were talking about Argentina
Well I'd agree that the squad just isn't good enough but clearly a good coach = better chance.
Capello is clearly a good coach fwiw. Then again, his greatest successes came with a club that were fixing games... but seriously, he is a good coach. Whilst I would find it amusing if he walked, I don't think England will get anybody better.

he's not going to walk when there's a twelve million pound payoff for sitting around... the FA need to sack him, as they can't sack themselves or the players.
Incidentally, the EURO 2004 team that went out to Portugal
James, Gary Neville, Terry, Campbell, Ashley Cole, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard (Hargreaves 81), Scholes (Phil Neville 57), Owen, Rooney (Vassell 27).
Basically the same team as yesterday, but with inferior replacements for Neville, Campbell, Beckham, Scholes and Owen.

I'm not trying to be all 'I told you so' but I would hazard a guess that England's lack of success isn't helped by a relatively small pool of players to choose from, all things considered. There simply isn't the depth that there should be.

FWIW, I still think you're wrong about the roots of the problem - or at least outdated.
I've been very impressed with Alan Shearer's analysis for the BBC this tournament, I'd prefer to see him as England manager one day. Obviously he'd need to gain more managerial experience and prove himself first. He seems pretty straight-talking and has all his coaching badges already. Admittedly his record at Newcastle was poor, but they had big problems that season and were already as good as relegated by the time he stepped in.

If it's about analysis, surely you'd choose baby Redknapp....

Pleasant and unpatronising
Anyone not willing to represent England and then make a career out of criticising people who do play for and manage England is, by default, a cunt of epic proportions. Which is what Shearer is.
It would be impossible to imagine arrogance and conceit on that scale if it wasn't smiling at us on the tv most evenings. Really, who the fuck does he think he is?

Maradonna's looking like a great manager.
But he's not very clever.
Beckhams also not very clever.
Therefore he would make a great manager.
Or.....
I'd be interested to see him have a go at management actually.
Though Redknapp Jnr doesn't seem to carry an air of authority, or have the leadership qualities that Shearer does imo.

Shearers a bit of a cunt though, i think baby Rednapp has actually carried himself rather well throughout his critic career....

I would like to see a team of two take over the England manager job. Two managers of equal status who have to work together as a team. I suggest Harry Rednapp and the USA coach Bob Bradley.
I seem to remember Shearer playing plenty of games for England.
It's his job to be critical tbf, but I've seen him giving plenty of credit where it's due.
And arrogance doesn't make you a good manager ? Try telling that to "the special one" or Cloughie.
Personally I think he'd strike a good balance between not taking any bullshit from the egos, yet also not alienating them in the way that Capello seems to have done.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Shearer a few times, he's very down to earth, yet has quite a presence. I'm pretty sure that this next generation of players would have a lot of respect for the guy and what he achieved, most of them probably had posters of him on their walls when growing up etc.
What makes you say that ?

He is a very dull man with very sharp elbows
He's far from dull irl
and as for his elbows ? He was an "old-fashioned" striker, when men were men, traditional British forward etc.

Hodgeson is the serious choice - has managed at international Level IIRC - more of a bobby Robson type of manager, could do well with Ingerland over a decent tenure ..and I dont want him to go the to Scouse red filth and make them decent again

What seem to be happening with maradonna and argentina is that hes like some shamen/cheerleader - he has god like status amongst the players and his enthusiasm and charisma is motivating the attacking players especailly to express themselves and excell. Argentina ooze confidence, fearlessness, energy and a sheer delight in their football - and thats surely down to maradonna - it mirrors exactly how he played himself.
I think interantional management is different from club management in that you have a limited time with the players - this means that you need simple, easily understood tactics which allow the players to quickly become a cohesive unit. (Exactly not like England ).
Complex, detailed tactical instructions and drills are less likely to work.
So simple - but flexible - tactics, a charmismatic leader and talented players will give you a team that can win international tournaments.

One on one? You're crazy.
capello might get a £12m payoff, Beckham's financial advisors who love a slice of that, the FA have proved to be hopeless negotiators with Managers, Sven got millions as well .
I'd have Hodgson, and keep Pearce, Pearce to take over in a few years

tbh, we should employ an Englishman. And FIFA should state that all countries' coaches should meet the same selection criteria as the players. It's such a large part of what makes a team successful, that it's cheating really to pay a foreigner to be your coach. World cups should be a test a nation's ability to produce good football teams, not a test of their ability to pay for assistance.
I like Hodgson, think he's a good manager and good man. If he'd take, I'd give it to him. Then we should all get off the manager's back for the foreseeable future, and accept that we're "in a transitional phase" or whatever.
