Sam Allardyce, Come On Down!

User Posted Link

Most of the objections seem to centre around Bolton's simple, quick, and "robust" style of play, which would of course be totally unsuited to England's silky, skillful, cultured, ball-playing technical artistes. Given their ability to run around a lot and their inability to pass the ball 10 yards to each other, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing?

(No, I'm not seriously suggesting Allardyce for England!)

Oh, and Himmers will like this bit!

Brian Barwick, who engaged McClaren, will be reluctant to show his man the door before the outcome of the qualification campaign is known, particularly since the FA believes it has already satisfied the demands of those calling for continuity by identifying Stuart Pearce as his long-term successor. Due to take over the under-21 team later this year as a stepping stone, Pearce has yet to confirm, in his work with Manchester City, his patrons' belief that he has the qualities of a top-flight manager to go with his patriotism.
