that's the problem with McLaren.. he takes the training and tactics and everything else at the moment anyway.. Sven basically does nothing so can't see much changing

Nice of them to admit it I suppose

Wrong choice, wrong time. They could have had Scolari and Hiddink but ****ed it up.

Of course Pearce is also potentially a "right man, but wrong time" situation.

McClaren is just SGE MkII and he's hardly done much on Teesside to justify the England job especially given the money he's spent.

Out of the three (Englishmen) that were supposedly in the running, I think McClaren was the best choice for all round experience.

Pearce should be groomed as McClaren's successor imo

Wrong choice*, wrong time**. They could have had Scolari and Hiddink but ****ed it up.

* If you include foreign coaches, then yes maybe Scolari, I will be watching Portugal with some interest come June, I would have liked to have seen either Wenger or Mourinho in the reckoning, but no doubt Dein and Kenyon made that mission impossible.

**Thanks to the NOTW

I don't care whether the manager is English or not, only if he's good or not.

Though SGE should have gone 2 years ago.

in my opinion wenger should have got the job, hes proved he can take young, inexperianced individuals and push them to play at their best.

i think mclaren should take advice from sir alex ferguson, i was proud of him at his tenure at manchester united where he helped man utd to win the treble.

lots of snips, but I'm not sure 'Psycho' could handle the national job - he has done a brilliant job with City, but he has a very short fuse.

- maybe that is what we need ?

Given the right guidance, I am sure Pearce will be at the helm at some point in his career, which is why I would like to see him given some active role under McClaren.

- expletives manager?

- tasked with the role of channeling the energy normally used for swearing into something more constructive
