I think from the potential list I'd be happy with O'Neill, Mourinho, Hiddink, Capello, Lippi or Hughes.
I wouldn't want Allardyce, Redknapp or Scolari.
I'd e open to Pearce, Curbishley or Klinnsman.

Based on the last couple of years, I don't get the fascination with Hiddink.
Russia blew their big chance against Israel and qualified because England did the same. They were spanked by England at Wembley.
With Australia at the World Cup, they went out because he didn't have the guts to have a go against 10 men.
South Korea had a lot of good fortune on their way to the semi-finals in 2002.
He's no better than Sven...

hasn't hiddink just renewed his contract with russia anyway? and why on earth would he want to leave a country that's in the european championship finals to go and manage a country that isn't?

We don't have a competitive game for 10 months, as MrH said. The Euro's are in 7. We don't need a manager now, next year will be fine...

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? Spot on, completely agree with all this and what Mark said in the previous post. As Barwick said in the press conference that the selection process will be done differently and the FA chairman Geoff Thompson said that Barwick would lead a "root-and-branch review of the England senior team set-up" I don't think they'll be rushing with the appointment.

He inherited a good team perhaps? if klinsmann inherited a good team then im the pope. germany were utter w**k, getting beat by everyone before he took over. we need experience. i think it will be Fabio Capello but i want Martin O'Neil

I'm going to make a bold statement which is probably completely crazy, England to win the 2010 World Cup! For the last 2 world cups while England were getting knocked out after penalty shootout failure, Reading were winning promotion. Going back further than that in 1994 when England weren't involved in the World Cup Reading again won promotion, although 1998 broke the routine as Reading were relegated that year.
As you can see Reading do things in 4 year cycles, and as the only way for Reading is down I can see roles being reversed..

How could anyone even consider Rednapp?

I've no idea. A great manager? Yes. But like Allardyce, the majority of his talent is in the transfer market.
I've always said Wenger would be good but thinking about it, what he's fantastic at is developing young talent which isn't really what's needed for England manager...

I've always said Wenger would be good but thinking about it, what he's fantastic at is developing young talent which isn't really what's needed for England manager... And his contribution to English football (compared to his contribution for Arsenal) has been virtually zero. He's produced one England international in his time at Arsenal. (I know Bentley and Upson were Arsenal players but they only became successful when they left).

wenger thrives on buying foreign players, he dislikes english players with a passion, i cant see him taking on england, he is building a great team at arsenal

According to today's Mail, O'Neill will rule himself out of the running in his usual pre-match press conference today, which paves the way for a foreign manager to take over.

Whoever gets the job is going to find themself flogging a dead horse, so it doesn't really matter who we get!

It's so funny the number who can't get forward fast enough to say they have no interest in the job!
