CanadianGer 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think he will try very very hard to bluff it out and claim he was never given a chance.

Boab 73 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 McLaren did say that he wouldn't - post-match - but there is an FA conference tomorrow morning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,749 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I don't think you can blame the manager for the fact that nearly all his team are prima donnas who care about their bentleys rather than their performances. They need a big personality who will say if you won't play for the shirt then GTF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff crap in the head 120 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 he wont resign, but he will be sacked. Most likely i think, feck knows who'll replace him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 His position is unattainable. Decent coach, poor manager. Eriksson, for all his critics, would of qualified England from that group with ease. sven had a great record in qualifiers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 761 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 McLaren made a few mistakes tonight: Carson in goal, should have been James Crouch on his own up front, needs a striker beside him Lampard at LM Barry at DM Dropping Beckham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think they need a Jose Mournho or Alex Ferguson type manager but neither of they two would even comtemplate managing England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Oh he fucked up big time J but the players also let him down. The last 4 games he played 4-4-2 and they actually played well, why change it. Why bring Carson in, why drop Beckham, why play a LB or LM at DCM, why play Crouch on his own????? And having Lampard and Gerrard in the same team will never work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, he needs to go and someone needs to give their squad a serious kick up the arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 It will probably come out 'Mutual agreement', to give him a bit of dignity, but I would be surprised if he was still the England Manager at the end of the week. They need a Manager with a bit of bottle who is willing to drop the likes of Lampard, who was inviable again tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 They need someone like Walter Smith, someone who will not take any sh*t, will be respected, will get them going again, bring the best out of them and make them passionate again. Someone who will give them a massive boot up the erse. I don't know who this could be tho? I wouldn't go foreign. A team of Harry Redknapp, Tony Adams and Alan Shearer.

Alan Shearer would never get the job, hes had no managerial experience but I do like the idea of the Adams, Redknapp, Shearer combo O'Neill, can't belive that fanny is in the running, Petrov 8m ??? can't stand him Jose Mourinho has already said he dosent want the position, but tbh, they need someone like him to kick the shit out of them nancy boys.

Ally MacLeod Strange thing is when I saw him standing there, brolly in hand, it also put me in mind of Ally MacLeod.

Eriksson, for all his critics, would of qualified England from that group with ease. I agree with you. Eriksson would have succeeded in that group. McLaren has gone and so has his experienced side-kick. Terry Venables' position was also not very tenable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
