So will it be McLaren or Scolari, the Brazilian is favourite atm but should he be? Well on one hand we have McLaren who is part of the set-up with Ericsson and I feel to leave him as manger would clearly be a step back. He is a decent manger but he is no world beater and I feel to give him the job would be a very poor decision by the FA.
Now Scolari , he has a great record looking back at his career , that is something that cant be knocked. He would clearly try and get the team playing attacking football, and I think we do have some players that can compliment his style of football but we don't have a team. I am unsure of how he would do as England manger but it would be a better appointment than McLaren.
The other contenders, O'Neil, Allardyce and Alan Curbishley. Out of these three I don't really see an England manager with the slight exception of Sam. He doesn't play the nicest football at times but he shows a hard working side with the ability to win when it matters which would be good for England. O'Neill - No thank you, a few reasons why I don't want this guy for the job, partly as he was the manager of Celtic but also his style of football. Has anyone here actually watched his sides play in the past, 3-5-2 very defensive, just does enough and no more. Lastly Curbishley, seems like a nice guy but he just looks very stale. He has been in the same job for so long that think he will find it hard to make the leap that is required. Alan Curbishly needs another job before he can even think of such a high profile role.
My choice would have been Gus Hiddink, I would have loved this guy as the next England manager. I do relies however the way this man works, he likes quick "projects". Short term with the next job in mind half way through, so for these reason's I understand why he hasn't been offered the job.
My two choices out of the names given are big Sam and Luis Felipe Scolari. But who ever comes in for the job should get the whole support of the nation as we won't do anything if we don't have that.
