In the preview of Poland Portugal after talking about Wales ITV mentioned that Southgate has ruledhimself out of the running for England job.

'its not for him at the momment'

Or ever, Gareth.

England’s senior players will actively encourage the appointment of a foreign manager because they consider the list of English candidates, with Glenn Hoddle increasingly prominent in the Football Association’s thinking, to be underwhelming.

The search for the new manager will begin in earnest on Friday when the FA’s chief executive, Martin Glenn, the technical director, Dan Ashworth, and the vice-chairman, David Gill, meet at St George’s Park to work out their strategy now Gareth Southgate has ruled himself out of taking the job on an interim basis and it seems increasingly unlikely Arsène Wenger, though willing to discuss the vacancy, will be tempted.

Hoddle is being considered for the role the FA initially assumed Southgate would accept and Ashworth will meet Scott Parker for exploratory talks in the next few days as part of a wider search about involving former England players in the new regime.

Hoddle and Parker.

[Vermilion]

****in hell.

[S-RED]

Don't be surprised to see FAT SAM rock up with England, with david gill on the committee & Fergie actively promoting the useless ****; i can see it happening......

[gratziani]

WTF , I have been pissing about in this with names and they want Hoddle and Parker as the dream team , may as well go the whole hog and get Chrisssy Waddle involved.

[Catrin]

What? You mean ahead of Southgate, Allardyce and Pulis? I'd probably pick you ahead of them

Isn't Pulis Welsh?

[Bender]

The Football Association believes Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce is the only Englishman with credible prospects of succeeding Roy Hodgson as England manager. (Independent)

[Yozza]

As much as I dislike Fat Sam he can organise a team & the work he did at Bolton goes by pretty much without being given the proper credit

Big step up to International footy & dealing with all those prima donnas....

[Roboklopp]

Yes! With Fat Sam at the helm & Farage in the at the EU we'd really be sticking it to Jonny Foreigner!!!

I don't like him or rate him that highly but I think Twitcher Redknapp night do a half decent job. Alternatively they could give it Giggseh.

Redknapp is only good when he can get his trusted players in. Someone like Allardyce is good enough for England. He isnt Elite Level, but international management doesnt need that. It needs a man who can organise a team and get them to play to their strengths. He can do that.

He is probably the best English candidate after Howe, who I assume the FA wont touch because of his new fangled ideas.

FWIW Allerdyce is a pretty progressive manager off the pitch, although I dont know how much anymore. He introduced quite a lot of new ideas to Bolton during his time. Prozone being the biggest. But the attention to diet and warming up/down was pretty new at the time he introduced it. Hes not the dinosaur lots think of him. Its just because he is a gruff northern bloke who plays unattractive football he gets his reputation tarnished.

He did the same during his short spell as player/manager of Limerick FC in Ireland. He was big into diets, low impact training, recuperation periods and the like. There were lots of "wtf?" moments from players and supporters during his time there due to him bringing in what was then seen as "foreign" training and diet routines.

He was very much a talker behind the scenes there as well. He was known to take players aside and work out individual diets, training schedules, and have talk it out sessions to best figure out individuals.

He might have been agricultural as hell when playing for Limerick (and from what I know he was that way in his younger days too) but he was years ahead of the game in Britain and Ireland with his managerial methods back then.
