McClaren for the Chop

I think Gordo has to tell the Israelis that all arms shipments to Israel will cease unless Israel win. The Israelis seem to produce miracles when their national security is threatened.

I think Russia are in a better position to do that than england...

Not much bolstering happening on that score wendigo. In roughly 100+ matches between the "Auld Enemies", England were only ahead something like 44-41 with the rest drawn. Hardly an "annual thrashing", but don't let that fact deflect your rosy spectacles. I am actually a little flattered that you would still be using Scotland as your benchmark for success.

For 110 years, beating England was Scotland's only raison d'etre!

It is as close as 44-41 because England usually had bigger fish to fry. Unlike the period from 1970 when we took a well-earned rest from qualifying for tournaments. 5-0 at Hampden on a cold winter's night was a real pick-me-up at the time, I can tell you.

Bigger fish to fry??

For most of the last 100+ years England haven't even had a fishing rod!

That's a bit rich coming from a compatriot of Ally McCleod, whose worthy efforts at fishing involved trying to spear Iran and Peru with a blunt cocktail stick!

Talksport this morning are saying that the "chosen one" is in line for the job.

The FA will never do that, they've just got rid of one good manager in Sven, to employ another who will fail will point to the fact that the deficientcy in the england set up is not in the manager but elsewhere...

I'd be surprised if they could afford Jose - or that he wants to do it at the moment. There must be better options for him out there.

He's said he'd do it.

Anyone who takes on that job is on a hiding to nothing.

I'd be surprised if Mourinho takes it.

Managed to spear Holland with it though. And that at a World Cup that England watched on telly!

I'm not so sure, he loves publicity [ more than any other england manager in the past ] - perhaps its a perfect fit...

He wouldn't be put off by the press, I think the only thing that would stop him doing it is knowing the crap players he's have to work with...
