Yeah, Lippi or Capello would be great. Probably Lippi over Capello, as Capello has had feuds with star players in the past... might not go so well with the Egoland dressing room. Both are pretty old (Capello 61, Lippi 59), but with age comes experience.
Lippi's been in management for 25 years, and knows what it takes to win the world cup, having also won five league championships and the European Cup.

I know he's ruled himself out but as the question is "Who should be the next England manager", I'm going for O'Neill. I'm still hoping he can be persuaded to change his mind.

I'm disappointed that two people have voted for Scolari. He has gone on record to say that he would never pick a player he knew to be gay. Leaving aside the fact that there are no openly gay players around, I don't want a manager who would let his own prejudices get in the way of selecting the best team. After all, we wouldn't dream of appointing a manager who made it clear he wouldn't pick any black players.

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? well except ranieri! and we will see if grant does this year, i doubt it. and mourinho won both the uefa cup and champions league with porto...he has ruled himself out now which is a shame, love him or hate him he would of gotthe job done... capello is favourite now and that worries me slightly, when i voted i said he would get the job, not that i want him, i just think the FA will opt for him. what worries me is when di canio played for milan and capello laid into him, di canio stood upto him in the dressing room and said "F*** yourself. Who are you to talk to me like this" and capello sh*t himself took a step back and fell over a kit bag. my point is could he handle a dressing room full of ego's?

my point is could he handle a dressing room full of ego's? Well he did a good job at Real Madrid. Egos are one thing but Di Canio's just a nutter. He probably has some very dodgy connections as well...

i think its safe to say all the managers in contention did a good job at one point, capello did have an awful lot of money to play with at real madrid, i just think it helps if the manager can also stand upto players. gerrard is a class a w**ker, lampard thinks he is pele, rooney can be very difficult, terry moans all the time, rio thinks he is a rapper, ashley cole is more bothered about money and his lifestyle and there will be pressure to pick owen when he is injured just because he is michael owen, i even think there will be some pressure to pick beckham as he is the biggest name we have commercially, then theres who the hell do they play in goal, thats a right mess. could capello handle all of that when the likes of harry redknapp had di canio under his wing and made him look like a puppy dog lol.
there is no doubting capello is a succesful manager, but the person walking into this mess has to be able to deal with all the sh*t before he can show his managerial skills, im not sure capello could, but it will be loads better than the previous management so i wouldnt complain, its just a niggling feeling i have about him

Mourinho just wanted the FA to ask him, so he could turn it down, he doesn't have the bottle or balls for the job!

He won't have any reservations about dropping star players if they aren't performing, see Totti at Roma and Beckham at Madrid. Beckham is one of the few players who won him over after being dropped, so Capello's appointment could help him get to 100 caps (good thing imo, say what you like about Beckham but he's still one of the most likely players to create a goal). I think he would be a good appointment, but his lack of English is a concern (the reason why I was against Scolari last year) although with almost a year until the next competitive match it gives him plenty of time to learn the language.
