The 5 listed above seem to be the main contenders...
We might be waiting a while for an appointment, seeing as our next competitive game isn't for another 10 months...

Martin O'Neill all the way for me, he was my choice when McLaren was appointed. I want a British manager and he's the best candidate by far.

Jose would be my #1 choice but I don't think he'd take it. O'Neill would probably be my next choice.
I like what Pearce is doing with the under-21s but he should probably stick with that role for now.
Given Newcastle's form, I haven't even bothered putting Allardyce on the list. Newcastle this season have confirmed the thoughts of everyone who didn't think Allardyce should've got the England job when Sven went.

Sky Sports News are reporting Fabio Capello has expressed his interest in the job. If we did appoint a foreign coach I would be happy with Capello. Jose would be a good choice too but as I've grown to dislike him it would make me a hyprocrite if I now started liking him just because he's England manager. I think he's said anyway that if he was going into international management Portugal would be his only choice.

i'd love it to be jose mourinho. i've always disliked him as a person, but there's no denying that he's easily one of the best managers around at the moment.
these shearer suggestions being thrown about had better be some kind of joke. he's not even managed at club level yet ffs!

England can have Allardyce and Newcastle can have Shearer!
I think it may be Martin O'Neill.

Mourinho never really cut it in Europe with Chelsea though did he? He won it with Porto I think? Anyone can win the league with the amount of money he had. I dont want him as manager, and I hope he doesn't want it either, if the pressure got too much he could walk away, and how much would it cost to appoint him anway? I went for O neill, because I think he might give some of the players a kick up the backside that they need, but not sure if he'd get on with the press? But if there are 10 months until the next game, then why appoint anyone, someone better may come along at the end of the season?

that may be true, but what are the odds of shearer producing the same sort of miracle?
all i'm saying is in their current position there should be no question of the FA wasting loads of time and money yet again on a total 'wildcard' all for the sake of having an english manager...
