Being England manager must be one of the least appealing jobs in football. Both the press, and some fans, are on your back from day one, and choose ludicrous reasons to slate you, most recently: being foreign, having an affair, using an umbrella and having a slight speech impediment.
I'm not saying that recent England managers have been much good, but it really is a thankless task with expectations based on one trophy 50 years ago!
I see the bookies have Jurgen Klinsmann, Sam Allardyce and Eddie Howe as front runners for the job. Klinsmann would be a great appointment IMO, the other two are surely jokes, but can you imagine the red top outrage at a German managing England?

Allardyce is no joke. He has a proven track record of taking over rubbish teams and improving them to a level where they at least become respectable.
Perfect fit foe England, if you look at it that way.

He did a very good job at Blackburn but the f wit owners wanted him out saying he wasn't up to taking them back to the Premier League.

True enough, but he's been able to buy and sell players to suit his style of play.
Old Roy Hodgson seems to have managed to get himself a gig at Wimbledon*

Looks like he's smuggled a couple of balls from his previous profession in with him!

I'm hoping for a 1st class display of football this evening, France to dominate, and win 3-1.
