Big Phil didn't want to commit to England just before the start of a world cup when he was in charge of Portugal, things are different now and he would be my first choice.

Big Phil also didn't want the press hounding him as soon as things go wrong.

We need a manager than can handle to press as well as the players and Jose seems to be able to do that quite well
