What do our Australian members think of this?  Would you be prepared to give him to us?  I don't want an English manager, I just want the best manager.  If he's English all the better obviously, but I don't believe Curbishley, McLaren or Allardyce are ready yet. 

I know Allardyce wants it and is quite a scientific manager, but not experienced enough for me.

true, and how would it be if england played like bolton!

Eriksson, for all his flaws, is England manager and will be leading the 'troops' out at the greatest footballing tournamnet of all, in over 5 months time .. but is there even an ounce of consideration of this ? NO

We are a nation plagued by sabouteurs, so stupid and fickle

Firstly, i agree that Sven isn't the best at keeping himself out of trouble, and is probably given too much credit as he's obviously not that sharp!!

However, once again the 'S.cum of the world' has gone about building someone up to knock them down. With Graham Taylor it was the old turnip head story, Hoddle and his faith healers etc etc etc. Yep, our mgrs haven't always lived up to people's expectations, but for one- we all have very high expectations, and secondly, how can they concentrate on their jobs when they're constantly getting knocked from all sides.

How do the red top rags get away with it? We're only 5 months away from a world cup that we (the english fans) were all getting very confident about (but confidence with some foundations this time- or at least i hope).

Again, i still don't believe Sven's been the brightest, but being taken to Dubai where you are wined and dined taken on huge private boats for what you believe is a valid job interview (after all, how does he know he wasn't going to get kicked out after the world cup anyway. Yes- he earns more than any of us could dream of but this shouldn't be the point). We all go for job interviews, i know i've taken sickies to do this in the past.

In an interview the idea is to 'big' yourself up to make yourself employable. Do you really think he'd walk in and go, "employ me, but i don't think i could persuade players to come and play for me, also i quite like the bung culture in this country and with some of my mates in other teams i could really expand my coffers" (although he'd probably use some swedish term).

Also, after a few drinks you maybe say things you don't necesary mean. But when there's someone there who's been trained to get the info they need and know exactly how to lead an 'interview' to get the qutoes they need then you're off on a loser from the start.

Once again, the 'S.cum of the World' has gone out to ruin someones life to sell their paper, but this time it's not just Sven's life they're effecting. Every English player that they've coaxed him into talking about and then edited to the best effect will now be effected by this, every club that was supporting the team in order to give us the best chance will be giving him a wide berth (especially if more corruption story's come out), and every fan that was looking forward to the World Cup that we have a good chance of winning will suffer if we don;t do as expected. And. I for one will blame that rag for once again trying to sabotage our world Cup build up- and campaign.

The story's have already started about who's going to take the job, and they're only going to increase until they get someone installed before the World Cup so they have suceeded their mission.

Invasion of privacy, taping and filming conversations without his knowledge- for sake he's not a rapist!! he's a football mgr, and as mgr of England we should be supporting him not creating ways to hang him. If we don't win this world cup, will it be because we don't have the right man for the job? or because that rag did everything possible to disrupt things? I for one would like to have at least been able to leave the blame firmly at Sven's feet. This is now impossible as too much non-football related boll.ox has got involved. We had (and i really hope we still do) a great chance to win this world cup- this is now seriously in doubt and whose fault is it- that Rag of the World!
