Simon Cowell. Pretty good manager, but i heard he's hard to work with sometimes.

Totally agree. I never understood how Southgate all of a sudden took over from where McLaren left off? I mean, McLaren went from Derby, to United, learnt tons under the wing of Fergie, was part of the coaching staff that helped guide the team through the Treble of 99. WHAT has Southgate ever done, apart from miss a crucial penalty for England and make a Pizza Hut ad on the back of it? Very strange for him to be a coach!

There is only one manager in england capable on taking on such a mantle...however i don't think Man Utd will let him go, Sir Alex has proved himself at the highest levels and has won every major trophy in the european game, league championship, FA cup, European cup and uefa cup, in order to have a successfull england team you need a manager who's achieved success at the highest level

Joe Mercer was caretaker manager in 1974. I'm not sure if England toured South America then but they did in 1977 and that would have been under Don Revie

Manchester? You must be refering to City. They won the title back in 1968. \n\nOr are you one of those glory-seeking twats that live half-way round the globe, and claim to support United?

It used to be Gavin Hastings.  I dont know whether his record has been subsequently broken - but I dont think so.  Scotland have been poor since big Gav's retirement, not scoring many points or winning many games that I can not see who could have possibly overtaken him.

The (not so anymore) mighty NOTTINGHAM FOREST!!!! Local team, was managed by the greatest club football manger ever, played football the way it should be played, and never had many fancy-Dans in it's glory days, just hard-working good honest players.

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

Maradona, plain and simple.  He really made a difference on the teams he pleyed on.  he made Napoli Italian League champ, after him, they have floundered.  In 1986, he almost single- handedly got Argentina to the World Cup championship.  His two goals against England in that World Cup are memorable.  The first one because of his savvy at using his hand and fooling the referee and the second one because of his mastery to get past so many players.\nComparable, his teammates were weaker than say Pele's or Beckenbauer's or today's Ronaldo's and Ronaldinho's when they achieved their highest points.

No as good as Jimmy Johnstone was, there was only one Best.\nEven "Pele" acknowledged this.\nBest could play with both feet.\nHe could head and tackle.\nHe was a winger but scored as many goals as a centre forward.\n\nFinally in 1967, United beat West Ham 6 v 1, away.\nThe West Ham team consisted of Moore, Hurst and Peters.\n(all 3 World Cup winners, 1 year before)

I haven't read that but it has to be the ultimate grasping at straws. Quite frankly not even Walter could do much with this team and he is better off where he is. He has achieved all he probably wants to at Rangers so why go back when he has near cult status as Manager of Scotland. Although is has never been mentioned I have a funny feeling that if anyone is waiting in the wings it may be Graham Souness. Out of a job and still big mates with Murray so dont discount it if the Mint fires Le Guen.

Man United, though Chelsea are edging closer to this prize.\n\nI hate Man United more than Chelsea because of one player:\nPhilip Neville aka: twat

The manner in which the FA went about in selecting a manager recently is one example of "english arrogance" - it was stupid. You don't shortlist nor interview proven products like Gus Hiddink or Scolari - it's insulting. They can do that with any other english/british manager because they do not have the required experience/expertise.\n\nEnglish footballers are generally a predictable lot - you know more or less his next move, where he's going to kick the ball. Do you know what makes Rooney great? Apart from his other outstanding skills, his unpredictability is what sets him apart. And it is this aspect of the player that is so evident in the boys from brazil.\n\nI do believe England 2006 squad is the best team ever assembled since the days of the late Sir Alf Ramsey. And if they don't lift the trophy on July 10, England might have to wait out another 40 years in the football wilderness as nearly-men and under achievers. Because English or British managers DO NOT have what it takes to make a winning side. Steve McClaren will not even win a European Cup title for England, let alone a world cup. A Curbishly or an Alldaryce will plunge English football into rock bottom.\n\nThe FA need people who can ask a question like you did and come up with the right solution even if you have to go across the channel to bloody France if need be. If you can do this, you would have learnt an important lesson.

Brian always spoke his mind so the ladies in charge refused to give him a go as England boss. One could imagine the fuss if he ever won the bloody cup. All the dears at Lancaster gate would have been having a fit and turning blue just to think that they might have to consider thanking him or praising him. No other english born manager comes close to his achievement. On top of everything he could also say if a team played well against his. He also Knew how to make the average look special.
