Following England's poor World Cup, there are question marks over Fabio Capello's future with England.
With the start of the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign just three months away, who do you think should take charge of England's campaign?

Difficult one to call. I went for Capello simply because i'm in no hurry for him to be sacked. I do think there is the possibility he may resign though and in that scenario there is one stand out candidate, Roy Hodgson, if he hasn't already been appointed by Liverpool, hopefully he would hold fire for a bit. Redknapp was another that came to mind in the last couple of hours but im not so sure about whether he'd actually take it, though i'd be happy with him as well.

Hodgson. Can get the best out of average players, and already successful at international level with Switzerland

Hodgson failed at Blackburn so hasn't always succeeded. His success at Switzerland was "good for Switzerland" in that he got them to the World Cup in 1994 and through the group phase.
Redknapp would have been the right choice a few years ago when he might have been tempted out of the smaller clubs but now he has just got Tottenham into the Champions League places, the first time ever he has managed a team there, why would he leave now?
Whilst I agreed with getting rid of McClaren when we failed to qualify for Euro 2008, I think Capello has shown a remarkable improvement in us since then and we should let him continue the work. We have lost just one game (as well as a meaningless defeat in Ukraine when we'd already qualified).

I really don't think the blame should be put on the manager!
The players let everyone down! Ok Capello made some dodgy decisions, but the players need to be dropped from england,, I mean come on we have been using roughly the same squad for the past few years and have been sh*te. Sven,Capello and Steve couldn't do anything with them!

Give him the Euro qualifiers to show us if he still has it? Plus I put a lot of the blame on the players as well, there's not exactly a queue of people lining up for the job is there? And why would you want and English manager Chris, the last one was awful, unless you're just being controversial?  |

I always had this feeling at first that the players were scared of Capello and he wasn't scared to drop the superstars if they didn't perform, but they put the fear in him now.
He needs to stand up and say he is the manager and the players had better perform or they're dropped.
If I were a manager I would pick the system then find players who would fit the system, not necessarily our best 11 players. Of course those who are the "best players" would probably still be in the squad but might not make the first 11.
I would also adapt the system based on who were are playing. We might want to go "all out attack" against Algeria but we wouldn't want to do that against Germany, as we found to our cost.

I think there were enough positive signs during the qualifying campaign for Capello to have another go.
He did undoubtedly make mistakes during the tournament but for all his experience in club football, this was his first time managing at an international tournament. If he's not too stubborn to learn from his mistakes, England can move forward.
If Capello does go, I hope the FA already have someone in mind to replace him. Hodgson looks like he's getting the Liverpool job this week and as Earl P said, Redknapp might not want to leave Spurs when he's just got them into the Champions League. Pearce could be an option, especially if he decides to axe the older players and bring in players he's worked with at U21 level.
There aren't too many foreign options available at the moment. Hiddink's just starting in the Turkey job so wouldn't come here, Mourinho wouldn't take the job, Wenger's contribution to English football has been zero so the best possible foreign option might be Louis van Gaal.
I don't care whether the manager is English or not as long as they are the right man for the job.

I'm not being controversial but just think the England national team should be managed by an Englishman. Supposed to be the best Football League in the world isn't it,or one of the best? There must be some good English managers. Beckham! |

There must be some good English managers. Beckham! None of the top clubs are managed by Englishmen. When Spurs finished 4th last season it was the first time in 7 years that an English-managed club had finished in the top 4. |

Sven,Capello and Steve couldn't do anything with them! agree 100% with this. granted, they are good players in their own right and have shown that they can perform at club level, but something clearly happens to them at international tournaments and to blame the manager for this would be to completely dodge the issue. frankly, on the performances i've seen over the last two weeks, this england side did not even deserve to be in the world cup. that's not capello's fault, it wasn't sven's fault, it wasn't even mclaren's fault. they need to shape up or ship out. |

Listening to Radio 5 Live's debate and phone-in and every other caller saying they must give the job to an Englshman this time. Stuart Pearce is mentioned a lot.  Most saying Capello must go. |

It has to be Capello still. It's stupid to sack him when he's under contract and he's more proven than any other option.
If you look at the English options:
Hodgson - Probably off to Liverpool, his last big chance?
Redknapp - Not going to want to leave Spurs after his biggest ever achievement.
Pearce - He's done OK at Under 21 level and knows the players, but he wasn't a massive success at his only other job and look what happened last time we appointed the assistant of the previous foreign manager!
After Hodgson and Redknapp, the person to join them in the top 3 successful English managers since Capello's been in charge is erm... Steve McLaren!!!

And as Misterh points out, hardly any of the teams are managed by English managers. It is a very blinkered (and some would racist) view to just want your own nationality to manage the team. |

Capello continues without doubt.
He was the best available when appointed, and managed a superb qualifying campaign. The truth of South Africa has yet to emerge, and Capello is not entirely blameless, but the suggestion that England should change yet again is reactionary and (in many cases) jingoistic.
The alternatives being proposed are laughable. Mostly national icons with precious little management experience. Occasionally, run of the mill club managers who happen to be on an upturn at the moment.
Sam Allardyce anyone ? Gareth Southgate ? Paul Ince ? David Platt ? Steve McLaren again ? All popular favourites not so long ago.

The press of our country seem to do whatever they want to try and ruin our sporting chances as it is, do we really want to have Harry Redknapp as the manager? Just how much ammunition would they have!!
