Who do you think would be the best coach for the English side in the upcoming World cup??and why???

Sven Goran Eriksson because he has a successful history with the team. He knows the team as it is better than anyone else.  Despite recent controversies, he is still the best man for the job.  Just another example of interferring, destructive Bristish media...

Heskey!? You must be blind! Shouldn't be playing in the bloody premiership (and isn't haha), let alone for england - strikers will be Owen (despite crappy newcastle medical team), Rooney (hopefully will be fit for later stages although chances are, not group stage), Defoe (can be alright... sometimes), Crouch (god nooo!! but sven's choice) and Darren Bent. Maybe. Won't be Heskey, James Beattie or Darius "can only score against villa" Vassell. I think we still have a chance, I mean, you can't completely write us off... but Rooney's injury and the complete shambles that is the FA's handling of the next manager have provided great obstacles.

Ian Wright is one of my favourite players of all time.  I used to watch him week in, week out at Highbury, and I still think that he was never allowed enough of a chance for England.  Great player, funny guy, massive personality, and yet possibly the least likely England manager I can think of.  I'd prefer most people in that role.  Cilla Black, Dame Edna Everidge, my dog (which died in 1988)............ any of those would be a better choice than Wrighty.\n\nThanks for the idea tho.

Gerard Houllier if we can afford him. He is an excellent  tactical coach like Guus and he took Liverpool through to win the Champions League!

He's good, even though he suffer 4 goal defeat in the Uefa Cup final. He can still lead the England national team to world cup 2010 in the South Africa.\nHe got experience from the present coach, being the assistant of his and this is going to help him to took over the job.\nBeing middlesbrough coach, he had got experience of dealing with the big star players. He will be suitable for England and do the job well.

Me. I'm the most respected coach in this year's World Cup. Why? Because, my team respects me.\n\nSplooch!

I think steven will do great this world cup, With him and Lampard in the middle England should be unstoppable. I know Rooney will do something special this world cup, I just know.

Sven Goran Eriksson is the only "best manager" for England ever. With the selection of Steve McClaren, the English FA have taken 2 steps forward, one step backward. God Save England because no Englishman ever will. Football in the late Sir Alf Ramsey's time was altogether different from now. Look at the EPL's Top 5 managers: Portuguese, Scottish, Spanish, French, Dutch. English managers are nearly-men - their footballing vision, strategy and knowhow expires after each 90-minute game. The only British capable of leading England is Sir Alex Ferguson. And he's a Braveheart... lol

lmao nicely said stephan, i totally agree...as u can see from cockney boys reply he cant really handle the truth so has to start swearing like an imature little kid, and England has no chance of winning the World Cup, coz they suckkkkkkkk and always will....no good players, no good manager...what chance do they have,,,,None....uhh when was the last time England won.....Exactly...i'd deffinately like to see argentina vs england i know for sure who will win that game :D

WC1966 was won by ENGLAND 4-2 GERMANY.\n\nI think this time its again gonna be ENGLAND!\nWith the most inspiring n best mid fielder GERRAD who took his club to glory of being called as CHAMPIANS OF EUROPE after a 3-0 deficit is amazing!!\nAlso DAVID n THE second best in the NO.1 league LAMPARD thier mid field is the best in the world.\nthey alone along with ROONEY the soul of ENGLAND can win the WC06 4 ENGLAND.\nBut we cannot ignore their powerful striking force.\nROONEY will join the squad after the group stages.\nAs its very easy 4 them to go throuh the group stages with their mid field n other dtrikers like OWEN n i think JOE COLE could be the best option n not CROUCH.\n            GO ENGLAND GO CATCH GLORY!!!!\n                   BEST OF LUCK!

Sir Alex, is a good coach despite the team short comings. He will lead the club out of this time of trials, that is why he is kept.He knows what needs to be done, and i believe that the team owners believe he can turn things around. He has achieve alot with manU and he can achieve even more, if the he can get the team to play ManU game. I know and believe he will deliever the goods.

I am uncertain as to whether he is THE best person for the job. General concensus is the next manager should be English (despite Scolari being offered it).\nWhen you narrow your options to an English manager - although proven at Premiership/club level (the likes of Allardyce, Pearce and Curbishley) - you do not have a manager who is proven at winning big tournaments - or even managing at International level.\nWith Steve McLaren at least, you have a manager who has a solid background in Premiership management, who has (this year) taken his team to the final of the Uefa Cup (despite 2 very difficult second legs in the last 2 rounds) and you can also add several years working within the England setup, which can only be beneficial in terms of ensuring a smooth transition. So I think out of the remaining shortlisted candidiates (that want the job), he is probably, on balance, the best choice.

Ryan Giggs,\n\nJust wondering what planet chrisnewcars is living on- Gary Lineker managed "one or two" matches for England!!

These predictions are always long-shots, unless of course everyone picks the obvious player, Ronaldinho and Brazil do in fact win the World Cup.  But I'll go out on a limb and pick Steven Gerrard based on his never quit attitude and his ability to pick teams up by the scruff of the neck and drag them to victory.  I think that he will do this with England this summer.  I'll predict that he will score say, four goals in the tournament and lead England past Brazil (semi-final) and into the final (versus Argentina?) in dramatic fashion.  And for that, his goals and his ability to turn games, people will say, "My God, what a player!" and vote him the best player.  A little fantasy for you.  Now let's see what happens.  I love the drama of the World Cup...

I think that - yet again - the FA will not make the right choice:\nClough never managed England when he was obvoiusly the best coach\nTaylor was only appointed because the FA liked him.\nI happen to believe that the England coach has to understand English players and how they like to play.  This means he needs to have coached in the Premiership (and coached English players).\nSo all the names are being bandied about, but not Venables?  England played the best I ever saw under him, he understands players and knows how to get the best from them, but the FA won't even entertain him.  If not him I hope O'Neill gets it.

I believe the USA can win the World Cup this year.  Noone is writing us off this time around.  We are ranked in the top 10 by FIFA.  To go along with our ranking, we have some of the best goalkeeping in the world (Keller, Howard, and a number of MLS keepers like Reis and Hartman).  We have a solid defense with Bocanegra, Onyewu, Hejduk, and Pope (and maybe even Pablo Mastroeni).  World-class midfielders in Landon Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley will be stepping onto the pitch (not to mention the solid job players like Kerry Zavagnin put forth each and every time they take the field).  Up top, we have the emergence of Taylor Twellman in the international game and the return of Eddie Johnson to the fold.  We have a coach in Bruce Arena who, I believe, if he leaves after the tournament, should get a top-flight European league job next fall (Malcolm Glazer hiring Bruce Arena at ManU if Sir Alex Ferguson were to leave?  A long shot maybe, but intriguing.).  Add to that, one of Italy's best players, Francesco Totti, recently went down with a serious injury and will be out until at least May.  Even if he does come back for the tournament, will he be at full strength?  Ghana's midfielder Laryea Kingston will also miss the tournament through suspension.  While we have a tough road to travel both in our group and with the possibility of Brazil lurking in the round of 16, I believe the USA has the ability to take on the world's best and win it all.

Big Phil is the right choose. I'm English myself and i would have loved to have seen an Englishman in the job, but the truth is none of the candidates are good enough. \nBig Phils record speaks for itself, world cup winner with Brazil in 2002, Euro 2004 final with Portugal. What have the English managers won.......Not alot if anything, 1 Carling Cup for Mclaren.\nThe fact is as English Fans we want to win something, we don't want 2nd we want to win. And with big phil ( if he takes the job) we stand the best chance of winning something!!
