It was a miracle he got appointed as England's manager. Any serious chairman will not expose himself by appointing this guy. He doesn't know football at all.

Hearing him on the highlights show talking his rubbish about the positives that come from the game, week after week, would make me ill. I have been depressed ever since his pathetic performance getting England knocked out of Europe. I am praying I dont have to see his ugly face again in English Football.

golejevo (U6847042) posted Jan 12, 2008 Thats 1 carling cup and 1 uefa cup final more than any other toon manager has managed in over 50 years! Give the guy a break, if England would of beat Croatia and qualified for Euro 2008, 'everything would be all rosy'. He would have learned from this experience, he has worked under the very best in Sir Alex and Sven, had a fair amount of success at Boro and got them playing some good football at times with a side HE built up, is hungry, and ticks all the boxes for Newcastle job if you ask me.

magnasuperbom (U3673005) posted Jan 13, 2008 He should probably take a job outside of England, maybe PSG where he is only under pressure to do better than the season before. He probably could have Glen Hoddle as his assistant/translator Comment on this article |
