The Fab Four Revealed!!!

April 5th, 2006 | By: Shawn | 2 Comments »

Both ITV and The Telegraph claim that they’ve cracked the veil of secrecy and have named the men left on the FA’s list for Sven’s spot.

They are: Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley, Steve McLaren and Martin O’Neill.

Is this really the list? If so, then to my mind it’s a list of one with three backups. O’Neill is the only true champion manager in the lot, the only one with significant experience managing against Continental clubs, the only one with the name and the vision to seem like a lateral move — if not an improvement — rather than a step down.

But don’t only take my word for it: He’s the bookmakers’ top choice as well.

O’Neill for England, then!

Oh god, that’s a depressing list. Maybe this is all just a ploy by the FA to make Sven look really good by comparison for his last few months in charge?

I just wish the fa would choose Big Sam already. I think he is the best man for the job, plus his ear piece is really cool. I think he brings a new prespective to the job, he is english-which seems to be what people want, and has done a great job at Bolton making them into a quality premiership club.
