England

I'm guessing you ignored the point when I said I would like to see them follow the same methods as seen by both Germany and Holland and look towards ex players as opposed to managers who have been around for 30 years and amounted to very little.

BUT THEY'VE WON NOTHING - NONE OF THEM
BY YOUR STANDARDS THEY'RE THE SAME AS HODGESON...

but you're not listening...........
 
Mmmmm I'm not sure that I like the way you are going with this, but, I repeat - a player can only play for England under strict qualifying rules so I'm. cool with it!


What is so wrong with the question? I'll simplify it for you.

Raheem Sterling was born in Kingston, Jamaica.

Yes he qualifies as a british citizen( and by the looks of the government, its not hard) as he was brought here at about the age of 10.

Is he still not a "foreigner" as he's not technically "Home Grown".

There's nothing sinister/racist/fascist or anything else YOU MAY misconstrued it to be.

Btw, these football eligibility rules are only to favour the premier league.
 
Hodgson is the best England manager since Hoddle.
That is why the FA want to hold on to him.

Good point. Hoddle made a mistake of letting his personal beliefs get in the way and he had to go, rightly in my opinion. Who knows what he could have done with more time. I think giving Hodgson time to continue to nurture and develop what's a youngish squad, and will get younger once Lampard and Gerrard (and Rooney in time) call it a day

Low had done nothing of note as a gaffer at club level and had been around for a while and had won no senior caps for the Germans I think I am right in saying.

Footballers don't always make the best managers, just look at Mr Hodgson:rofl:

Of course they haven't - because they are just starting their career out !!!!

Massive difference in the points of their careers as managers - Holland etc decided to get ex players backed by experienced coaches to become managers of their country same with clubs like Barce and Madrid .Fresh new people straight from playing with an idea of the modern game and those countries are reaping the benefits of those choices

Hodgson has been around for 30 years and amounted to nothing when given big roles - Blackburn won the title and qualifues for CL - under Hodgson starts the spiral down to championship football , takes Liverpool to their worst positions in decades and now has added another record to his cv - worst performance for England in a WC finals !!

Was assistant at Stuggart when they won the Bundasliga and then floated around until he was brought in by Klinsmann as his assistant.
 
This is the only warning being given.

This thread is starting to descend into silliness and before it goes much further a few of the posters might want to think about what they are saying/posting before they do.
 
takes Liverpool to their worst positions in decades !!

And finally there's the nub. It affected Liverpool. Forget everything else he's done like getting very small countries to the biggest stage in world football. He failed at Liverpool even though the fans were against him from day one, and he's a failure. As Imurg says , you're not listening or respecting other peoples opinions... again
 
And there it is!!!!!!!

CheckMate.

Yes a big job he failed at - same with Blackburn and England - more suited to jobs like Fulham and West Brom where he can employ that tactics needed to keep those clubs in the Prem - that's the type of manager he is. The track record shows that.

How has he done with England ? How did he do with Blackburn ?

The record shows he does well at small clubs and countries - those facts are not being denied.

Anyone in particular?

A friendly PM wouldn't go a miss
