New England Manager

[gazzae]

"However long we were in the wilderness, I would rather see us in the wilderness for years with an English manager than win the World Cup with a foreigner" - Ian Wright.

Do England fans actually agree with him or is he just being his usual obnoxious self?

If thats the case then why did it look like Brazil weren't even going to qualify for the World Cup before Scolari took over?

I think if England won the world cup, the fans woudn't give two hoots who was in charge.

well i can't see it happening this year under Sven.. don't forget we haven't actually hired Scolari yet but will give him a chance and see how we do under him before starting to complain

Because maybe that's the reason you haven't won a major tournament since 1966?

Scolari pulls out of the race to become the next England manager, citing, too much press intrusion into his private life over the last few days.

"There are 20 reporters outside my house now," he said.

"If that is part of another culture, it is not part of my culture."

Excellent. The press hounded him out before he even started. The great British public ought to be ashamed. Why? Because you all continue to buy the Sun and the Star!

Now go and get O'Neill. At least he played in the World Cup. How many others can say they've done that?

Must be a record for the press.

There has to be more to it than just the press presence I reckon, more like the incompetence of the FA.

Now that Scolari's out of it they've started on McClaren.

The Sun newspaper revealed on Saturday that McClaren had an affair with a secretary during a trial separation from his wife.

The Beeb have a report that Scolari turned down the offer because he received death threats against his family from Portugese fans. Wonder if there's any truth in this.

[Timeless Stew]

In one hand we have coaches that know what they were doing:
Sven (Ulrica, Nancy, Faria Alam),
Scolari (He said he was off to give one to his wife after the world cup win),
Steve Mclaren (affair with secretary)

How can we trust coaches like Sam Allardyce, Martin O’Neill, Alan Curbishley, completely inexperienced in infidelity matters?

I think this is a critical issue that Berwick needs to address.

[TheDaddy]

At least Mclaren's infidelity came out before he got the job, not even sure that he and his wife were together at the time, sounds like a press smokescreen to hide their involvement in the Scolari fiasco.
