If you need to be inspired in a WC quarter Final against Brazil then you dont belong on a pitch
Sven was excellent for England considering the crap he had available
I can't agree. There were a lot of good England players - just the 'team' effect was missing.
Sven was a very good club manager and led an unfancied Gothenburg side to UEFA Cup success so i have no doubt he can lift the players when needed but when the players involved are prima donnas who dont give a fuck about their country then what can Sven do?
Not his fault Beckham pulled out of a challenge which led to Brazils first and of course we all know what happened with the winner. A fluke.
Cappello is in the same boat. No one can argue what a good manager he is but the players just arent that good. Hopefully Wenger has a go after Euro 2012...
FFSArsene Wenger will nominate his successor when he decides to quit as Arsenal manager.
He has seen his team endure their worst start to a *Premier League season as they *languish in 15th *position – after six trophy-less years.
Yet during international week, various figures in *football – including former national boss Sven Goran Eriksson – have suggested Wenger would make the *perfect *England manager.
Fabio Capello’s job will *become *vacant next summer after Euro 2012.
But Wenger’s contract at the Emirates doesn’t run out until June 2014 – and he has never *broken a *contract in his *career.
So, it would require an *official approach from the FA to speak to Wenger for *Arsenal to even consider *releasing him. But the *feeling inside the club is that he will turn down any offer while still under *contract.
Instead, Arsenal are *expecting a huge input from Wenger when it comes to *finding the right man to step into the shoes of the club’s most successful manager.
Wenger’s influence *during his 15 years in charge of the Gunners has been *unprecedented – matched only by the *untrammelled power *wielded by Sir Alex Ferguson at *Manchester *United.
So, it will require a *figure of *immense calibre to *follow him.And the standout *candidate is Pep *Guardiola, of Barcelona.
He has enjoyed *huge *success at the Nou Camp, *including two *Champions League *triumphs. But he has freely admitted that he does not know how much *further he can take the club. *
Guardiola may regard a move to *the Premier League as a new and tempting challenge. He is also on a one-year rolling contract at *Barca, so there would no massive *compensation *required. Another possible managerial candidate for Arsenal is likely to be Laurent Blanc, who has *transformed the French national squad, which *imploded at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
He has restored *stability and taken them to the verge of qualification for next *summer’s Euro 2012 finals.
He is also familiar with the *demands of English football from his spell as a player with *Manchester United and in his two years in *management at *Bordeaux, he took the club to *second place in his first season and then to the league title. There is also former Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp, who has adapted impressively to his new responsibilities at Ajax. Johan Cruyff, the club supremo, has asked Bergkamp to work with manager Frank de Boer.
Bergkamp has been handed responsibility for overhauling the entire technical department and club structure as well as coaching the first team.
But if Arsenal promote from within, one candidate will be reserve team coach Steve Bould, who has followed the *Wenger blueprint to bring through *players such as *Kieran Gibbs, *Wojciech *Szczesny and Jack Wilshere.

When I heard about this, I went to Sainsburys and emptied their shelves of all the tinned food they had.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Shit GB!

Seriously Wenger for England. . . .probably deserve each other to be honest and Id taje the whole lot of them... . .
Pep as manager
Blanc defence coach
King Denis attack
Look out everyone
I agree about Sven. He would put players in positions different from their club positions. Now if you want to change a player from one position to another, it is one thing doing that with a club where you are playing them in the team, week in, week out, giving them time to adjust to the requirements. However at international level, there is just not the time. Owen Hargreaves was a good example. He kept playing him on the wing and he was no good. Once he moved him to defensive midfield, something he did all the time at Bayern, he shone. International managers need primarily to be player motivators. If you put a player in the same position he plays every week, he knows what to do with practically no instruction. The manager can concentrate on what the opposition weaknesses are and giving the big national speech - which, btw, is why I think the England manager should be English. I see on the rumour mill that people are taking about Wenger taking over from Capello. Clearly they don't listen as Wenger has said the England manager should be English. He once said (if he was made England manager) "if the opposition is France, who's anthem do I sing"? Clearly, if he does manage a national side, it will be France.
