Maybe that is what he is waiting for. The plan failed, he can't get the dosh, so might as well manage France. Makes sense, actually.Quote:

[Sky Sports sources understand former Holland manager Guus Hiddink is interested in becoming the next England boss following Fabio Capello's resignation.
Capello stepped down on Wednesday night after discussions with the Football Association following their decision to go over the Italian's head and strip John Terry of the England captaincy.
The FA have previously stated they are keen for the next Three Lions boss to be English, with Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp a hot favourite to fill the role.
However, Dutchman Hiddink has reportedly put himself in the frame and would welcome an approach over the role.
The 65-year-old is a proven international manager with a number of teams in major tournaments.
His most notable achievements include leading Holland to the semi-finals of the 1998 World Cup, as well as guiding South Korea to a fourth-placed finish in the 2002 edition of the tournament.
Though they probs give the job to warnock, anyone is better then arry and his dodgy heart.

Has to be "English" says the players and the media if not arry they settle for WarnockQuote:

(apologies if this has been posted before, cba checking)
Bad news as Capello was awful with England and they'll probably get in someone that will do a better job (like Hiddink).
Hope they get in 'Arry, would be top notch comedy.
I wish the FA would just put a communication out apologising to anyone who still gives a shit about international football saying that after years of trying to convince us they just now admit that English players are largely wank and therefore it doesn't matter who the manager is as they wont win anything
I wish the FA would put in an English manager who knows how to motivate English players, getting them to perform to the level they should be capable of.
Oh - looks like they will. :good:
Getting knocked out in qualifying :bow:Quote:

And finally, Capello, eh? Redknapp, eh? England manager, eh? I am baffled, quite seriously, as to why anybody in the world would want to be the manager of England. It is without doubt the worst job in football. And yes, that includes the Chelsea youths who have to take it in turns to clean John Terry's ring (he's quite fastidious about keeping his wedding band shiny, I'm told).
Managers do the England job; managers fail; managers are castigated, slagged off, ridiculed, mocked and lampooned – and if you're a 'furriner', like Capello, you're doomed from the start regardless how well you do. And yet, the common denominator in all this is not the managers. It's the FA and the English players and, let's face it, sections of the English press whose expectation levels when a major tournament approaches don't seem to be tempered in any way by the England team's record in previous tournaments.
Still, maybe what England were missing was that something special. The Twitch Factor, I think they call it. No doubt a man who has won one FA Cup in his entire career knows more about winning than somebody who has won countless league titles, cups and the Champions League. And if the England players need someone like Redknapp to inject them with the necessary 'passion and spirit' to play for their country it says far more about them than Capello.
Fuck me but I'm bored with this already :arry:
Bloody hell. How did I miss all this....that's what you get for having the missus round for dinner <_<
Anyway:
A cynic would say, 'Arry Houdini got off from tax dodging becaus ethe FA bunged some money at it.
He should get the job, and fail.
I hate England and their twatish ways, and until I see a team made up of lads who will forgoe a wage to play for their country, and all advertising rights, I want them to fail. Miserably.
Terry, Rio, Ashley etc. ****s, the lot of them.
Yeah, get in the massively successful Crooky Redcrook, instead of that forrin shit Capello who's won fuckall.Quote:

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has ruled himself out of the running for the England job, saying the national post is not for him.
The Magpies coach has been touted as one of those the Football Association may turn to in the wake of Fabio Capello's decision to walk away from the job.
Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp remains the firm favourite to be handed the reins, but Pardew is considered to be an up-and-coming coach who could lead the Three Lions into a brighter future.
The work he has overseen at Newcastle has not gone unnoticed, with the club currently pushing hard for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Pardew considers his efforts on Tyneside to be a work in progress, though, and insists he has no plans to turn his back on the club any time soon.
He is flattered to be among those mentioned as possible candidates for the England job, but has made it clear that he will not be throwing his hat into the ring.
Proud
"Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it's not for me and I will make that quite clear," Pardew told Sky Sports News HD.
"I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned.
"I am very happy here at Newcastle. It's a little project here that's going really well and I want to see it through.
"The passion and everything about this place is why I want to stay here.
"I do hope it goes to an Englishman, just on a personal level. I think that's important this time. I really hope Harry and Spurs and everybody sorts themselves out and can do it in a manner that it works for everybody."
Candidates
"(West Brom manager) Roy Hodgson would have an opportunity and (West Ham boss) Sam (Allardyce) possibly - they are at the right age and right experience to do that role.
"Probably outside of them, there aren't too many leading candidates.
"There are a lot of young English coaches coming through, thank goodness, especially in the Championship, and I think we will be better set perhaps the next time (the job) comes around.
"But this time, there is an outstanding candidate in Harry and I just hope it all works out and it can be done in a manner that works for both Tottenham and England."
That process could take some time, but Pardew would be comfortable for England to head into a friendly clash with Holland at Wembley on 29th February without having appointed their new boss.
He said: "You have got Trevor Brooking, Gareth Southgate and Stuart Pearce there - I don't see any problem in them taking that game, and I think that would be correct because even if the job is going to go down one road, let's say, Harry needs some time to settle himself and have some respect for Tottenham as well."
When did they ever rule him in lol

Harry Redknapp insists he has 'not even thought' about the England job and is fully focused on Tottenham amid heavy speculation linking him with the vacant post.
Redknapphttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif is the clear frontrunner to succeed Fabio Capellohttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in the role following the Italian's resignation on Wednesday evening, with players and pundits alike backing him for the job.
Capello stepped down just hours after the Spurs boss was cleared of all charges following a two-week tax evasion trial.
Speculation has surfaced Redknapp could take over England on a part-time basis to allow him to see out the campaign with Tottenham before taking full charge in the summer ahead of the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine.
But Redknapp is keeping quiet on the prospect of him assuming the role, insisting he is concentrating solely on his current club, who are flying high in the Premier League and host Newcastlehttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif at White Hart Lane this weekend.
Focus
"I don't know anything about the England job. I've not even thought about it," he told Sky Sports News on Thursday morning.
"I've got a job to do, I've got a big game on Saturday with Tottenham. Tottenham is my focus.
"They've been fantastic to me, the Tottenham people. The fans last week at the Wigan game, it was incredible the reception they gave me.
"It wouldn't be right to them to focus on anything else but Tottenham. My only interest is Tottenham Hotspur.http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
"They (the Football Associationhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif) will make whatever decision they want to make and hopefully it will be the right decision for the country."
Capello, who had previously said he would quit in the summer after the Euros, stepped down after making it clear he was unhappy with the FA's decision to strip John Terryhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif of the England captaincy without his consent.
Redknapp admits his resignation came as a surprise, adding: "I was shocked. I was surprised. I didn't expect that to happen. We knew he was going to leave in the summer but I didn't expect it to happen now."
Move on
The Spurs boss is keen to move on after being cleared of the charges against him on Wednesday - a case he is adamant should never have gone to trial.
"It was a case that never should have been brought to court in the first place to be honest with you," he said.
"Mr Levy gave me the job three years ago and he looked at it before he appointed me. He realised it was a case that had no substance to it otherwise he wouldn't have given me the job at Tottenham.
"It's past us now and we look forward and look to the future."
Pearce in charge for the Holland game, confimed.
It wouldn't surprise me if they kept him for the Euros and got Harry after.
[QUOTE=Marc Overmars;98131]Pearce in charge for the Holland game, confimed.
It wouldn't surprise me if they kept him for the Euros.
Would make sense not too sure about 'arry though.
Twitchy's stock has risen with every game we've lost.
He's not a top manager.
He has won an FA cup :bow:Quote:
