Best England manager ever.

Who was better?

Everyone will mention Ramsey but the World Cup win wasn't that much of an achievement. Only 16 teams in the finals and we didn't have to qualify (being hosts). Brazil were allowed to be kicked out of it, and we won the final thanks to a joke linesman's decision. ramsey then got us knocked out of the 70 WC with a couple of the worst substitutions ever seen. And he didn't even qualify for the 74 World Cup.

Who else? Robson (one flukey WC SF appearance, but also the 1988 European championship fiasco). can't think of another contender.

Sven was teh best (but sadly also the unluckiest - hardly his fault that England players can't take penalties and the injury problems we had at major finals were crucial)
