Ricey Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Also aside from Venables (and that was abit of Rose tinted specs).......who has left the job not regarded as a total failure in recent years. Taylor, Hoddle, Keegan, Sven, Schhhteve. Career suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brumjohn Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 And look at the role of the press in all of those cases mocking, vilifying, ridiculing, and almost wanting those guys to fail so they've got something to write about and have a change. It's an almost impossible road back once those guys credibilty has been shot.Not saying those guys did a great job, but at certain times they got very unfair press treatment. Although a different era, remember the FA chose not to appoint Clough despite wide spread public/press support. HR is the obvious sole candidate almost by default, O'Neill and Pardew have ruled themselves out, FA have Pearce (and the Sun has started on him already)and Southgate in other roles but not sure either is up to it, few top club managers (Wenger, Fergie, Mourinho, etc) would want to give up club for country management. Any other suggestions, Hiddink? Think the FA have ended up in a very high risk position, if HR says no or wants to wait till end of season, or if Spurs say no to full or part time role, we might be thinking Capello wasn't that bad afterall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hiddink would be a great shout, and probably more successful than 'Arry, but not really popular enough outside of Chelsea right now I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 ...and already the press are on Hiddinks back with his 'close relationship' with Terry The FA have already said it would a British appointment and one that is best for the job - which might not be possible - but I suspect they will go British over Best for the Job if they had the choice because thats what sort of bumbling fools they are. The media generally here in the UK are terrible, I know the Spanish and Italian press are hard on players and managers also but no where near as doom mongering as we see here. Unfortunately the UK press generally only prints what sells, and the Birtish public love doom and gloom...so there you have it ladies and gentleman.
