what a bloody farce, i wonder how much they paid big sam! Southgate ffs, what an absolute disgrace. get that bloke in who coaches the womens hockey, at least he knows that feeling of being a winner...

'Football' and 'intelligence' are not words you tend to use together.

southgate another FA "YES" man, just like Roy..

the chumps in charge of FA should fall on their swords, one suspects they did due diligence on Sam, not good enough though, having anything to do with the England national side seems to invoke a curse...

Wenger is from the Alsace region, which has been backwards and forwards between French and German control for centuries. He has a German surname. In my book that makes him a Jerry.

I don't see the problem in having a German manager for England. We English that have no Celtic links have far more in common with the Germans in blood links and DNA than we have with the Welsh, Scots and Irish. After all, we are chiefly descended from the Angles and Saxons who originated from areas which are in present day Germany.

Klinsmann will be a great choice. Good riddance to Allardyce. How was a chump that allowed himself to be set up so easily going to pit his tactical nous (LOL) against the great international coaches?

The FA are useless clowns. I see that the pathetically weak Gareth Southgate has been put in charge. Here we go again.

Hoddle, wiser and older, get him back in charge..

Looking on the bright side, the Moyesiah will be sacked by Xmas, so the fraudster can have his old job back!

The circus is back in town.

[blueball] 27/9/2016 19:56

He's gone.

[jack jebb] 27/9/2016 19:24

I cant believe we've sacked a man with a 100% win record!

Right decision imo.

It goes against 100+ years of history to have a German running the English football team.

The reality for England, the footballing team, is that for almost all the players, playing for their club is their priority.

I blame Prince Albert.

But are England's current crop of players of Championship standard? I think not.

[chopper harris1] 27/9/2016 11:08

Hoddle is by far the best English option if the FA are insistent on sticking with a native coach. My choice is Klinsmann. Proven pedigree as successful international player and coach. What he's achieved with a group of Championship-type players in the USA team is remarkable. He knows the English game, speaks excellent English and actually wants the job.

[sr2day] 27/9/2016 10:26

the best man in my view remains Hoddle should big Sam go .

[brad44] 27/9/2016 10:05

true but the press have got their claws into it and are unlikely to let go until there is a public execution of sorts

[dodge city] 27/9/2016 09:51

No, because the scum running the FA are weak and worse than him.

[brad44] 27/9/2016 09:45

big sam in trouble already! will he have the shortest tenure ever as England manager?

[leedskier] 06/9/2016 06:37

Bale shows the difference just one World Class player can make to a national team.

[jack jebb] 05/9/2016 16:13

I think he was trying to deflect attention away from the fact he'd told the media that Rooney would never play in midfield for England, which is exactly where he played.

[kilgallp] 05/9/2016 14:35

Snowy, I like big Sam, but agree, he came across as a bit of a numpty in the after match interview. Let's put it down to excitement after the win!
