Yep, if the offer came, i'm sure that would be the toughest choice in his life, he's always had the ambition to go to the top with spurs and I love that about him but I bet he would also love to manage England as would I love him to.

He'd be 66/67 by the next World Cup, and although that shouldn't be a barrier, it would surely mean that he would only be an interim manager.

The basic question of long term manager would still be unanswered.And the alleged managers being groomed now by the FA - what if Redknapp wanted his own backroom, wanted to mentor his own 'up-and-coming' staff?

Too much like Venables, good at short term fixes, very good with the media esp London media, but---working with the dross that we currently have?

I'm not so sure.

I can only see this being interim, and that's what worries me because I have a feeling that if they go for an English manager I just know it will be Bruce and I won't like that one bit.

who really cares though? it's not like we're in with a chance of winning anything is it? in my view the premier league is the biggest obstacle to englabd winning anything by continually allowing "foreign" players/managers/coaches to dominate the game here. look at who won the last euro championship, look at who won the world cup - Spain did it, and although a few of their players are in the prem most are in Spain. before that look at when France won both tournaments too - 90% of their players played in???

yep you guessed it, france....

what happens in the prem is, good young english players who could develop into future good players are being denied the chance by expensive imports in our "quick fix" league....at least i'm old enough to remember us winning the world cup, i predict that whilst the prem dominates like it does we will NEVER win it again.....

I make that 2 players in the starting line-up and a TOTAL of 3 in the squad that played in France.

OOOOps.... :D

We knew that the best of the French players were already abroad before '98. Well those of us who follow footie did.

They all came out of Clairefontaine...England wanted Burton to be that 10 years ago. Those kids, who composed the French WC winning side were all syphoned off by managers on the ball.

We haven't got anything close to that. Burton will take years to get going and at the moment it is down to Premier club control. They hold the purse strings and they decide. It (imo) is also down to the quality of coaching. And if we have the run-yer-heart-out or clatter-him kind of macho school coach we have now
,...nothing will change.

The FA can afford a kind of Clairefontaine, but we can't afford the kind of midndset we'd get from the Bruces, Pullis' and Allardyces.

Brute strength and macho went out with the dodo.

that's not a compliment :D

you're right midland i didn't bother doing much (any) research but you have to admit it sounded good :whistle:

i think my point still stands that the prem is killing our chances of producing a tournament winning team.

the burton conundrum is an interesting one and i do wonder quite how it's meant to better our chances, after all it won't be any better than what the clubs can provide for the players and will more than likely be populated with has-beens and never-beens....

meery christmas midland old friend :xmaslol:

Debateable... Great that they are considering an English manager for the England team...

But I think he is highly over rated and I would pick quite a number of managers before him... Hughton for example :)

You know the thing about the "glass ceiling" that many women have felt have hindered their promotion over many years.
Nothing in black and white, no rules, just an assumption that they weren't good enough for the top jobs.

You couldn't prove or point to a barrier, but it existed.

Shankly broke the mould.Ferguson, Wenger,Mourhino etc continued to re-write it. So sucessfully that England bit the bullet and believed that 'foreign' coaches were better.
And so did a lot of English clubs from Swansea to Us.

It's like the pendulum effect, it's swinging back, away from 'foreign' coaches, away from Svens and Fabios.

We have 13 'foreign'managers at the moment in the Prem - if McCarthy is Irish that is :D And 6 English - Blackburn open.

That is a powerful presence to reinforce the belief that a "glass ceiling" does exist against English managers.

But out of those 6 Prem managers, how on Earth does 'Arry get to be top dog, on one season of multi-million spend and making the Champions League?

The guy wrecked West Ham, Southampton and Portsmouth by his insatiable desire to BUY success.

Bruce has bought some semblence of success and Allardyce has always been noted for buying safety on meagre funds.

Holloway is too much like Clough and wouldn't last 5 minutes with the blazers at the FA.

I think we have to go abroad again. Our top level managers are just so mediocre. I hope the FA give the 'glass ceiling' one more spin and ignore the London hype about 'Arry. Like it was about 'Oddle and Venners.
None of them were really big players with ability on the world stage.

But Ferguson, Wenger, Mourhino, Ancelloti as well, have kept their reputations Internationally.

The Redknapps and Bruce's are just also rans.

This may seem absurd, but I would look at Shearer with a top-notch support team. (Not the Pleats and Pearces- more like the Clarks and Bothroyds and Lees as permanent back up). If we want an English set-up.

I'm still trying to work out why an Englishman who has won a shade over sod all is better than a foreign manager who's won domestic and European trophies.

Stop messing around and go and get someone of Wenger or Mourhino's level.

And at the same time, change the set up of football in this country so that country ranks above club and not the other way around, in addition to teaching kids to express themselves with a football and not be afraid of it.

Harry Redknapp. Jesus wept.

:applause: spot on.

what needs to change is not so much the manager but the set up at ground/'grass roots' level.

Kids should start off with smaller balls on small pitches to help and aid close control, we should have set pitches easily accessable maintsained by local councils/fa which keep the grass in good condition so even in winter kids can learn to pass not hoof it out of mud, at schools we need to encourage kids who show promise in sport as we do those who excell academically, we need our prem clubs to focus on homegrown players...and i dont mean the players who have been here since they were young teens but born and bread english players who are eligable for the national team.

We as fans and the media also need to look at the pressure, teh way we look at, speak to and deal with our players and give them support not build them up only to knock them down.

We need a whole change in our footballing culture...there is a reason so many managers have failed with england...its down to the whole set up...we need less suits and more football people in fa hq
