Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Not bothered.
Good for England for having a tactical genius but language barrier may be an issue. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
I'm quite pleased. My personal ranking was O'Neill, Scolari, McClaren and then God Helpus so I'm not going to be crying myself to sleep at night over it.

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Personally I thought Hiddink was the best choice but out of the 5 remaining candidates I reckon Scholari is the best choice.
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Im pleased with Scolari I think he can make a good bunch of players play some attractive football and hopefully win at something.
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Excellent news. So predictions for England not doing shit this world cup?
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Don't care.
My club is more important anyway. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
At least Mclaren etc will be able to concentrate on club football and not have all the "will I won't I" stuff hanging over them. It's interesting they chose the only non englishman in the shortlist, but tbh he seems a far better coach than Sven, so it should be good - even if he's not really coached any of the players before. I bet Mclaren will still be hanging around to provide some continunity though :P

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
means Martin O'Neill can come to sunderland :)
I'd have gone for Big Sam personally... he was never going to get it tho as i doubt his face would fit in at the FA. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
:cool:

I know who I'd prefer! [edit] Bear in mind that, before Big Phil took over, Brazil were floundering, in danger of not qualifying for the world cup for the first time in their history. That they're now regarded as by far the best attacking force in the world is in no small part due to Scolari advancing the youngsters, like the then obscure Ronaldinho. |

As for Sam, i think he can only really play one style with bolton considering the budget they have. I cant imagine Sam shaping the england team into his bolton forumla. As for Scolari, i think he had a good tournament to be in charge of brazil, with the majority of european teams struggling to adapt to the climate |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
another mercenary?
Please note also hes not yet agreed on a contract. How embarrassing for England if he turns around and says no. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
Im genuinely ecstatic that the FA have single handedly kept an army of nationalistic sports writers in their job for another 4 years, and theyve FA chance of winning anything under this foreign mercenary coach who couldnt give a shit about generating passion among fans or players, he just wants to play defensive minded bollocks and hope his underperforming creative players can do something up front.
If you want an idea of how much the press are going to love/hate this guy, take a look at how the Brazilian press reacted to his defensive tactics in the build up to the 2002 WC. Maybe his style will suit British players. Who knows. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
All I'll say is thank f*ck no-one over here knows anything about football so they can't laugh at us making such a shit choice.
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
I'm glad Mclaren didn't get it. But if Dein supports Scolari, so do I.
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
ah, the guy who managed Brasil to play that shit it hurt the eyes. yea, good buy. :up:

Also, for defensive, boring tactics, managing to average 3 goals a game at the world cup aint bad. Hey, but it's a great manager for England, and you're scottish :v: |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
i like the way some people are saying Scolari's boring...
look at the other options - Allardyce, Mclaren, Curbishley, O'Neill... Their teams are hardly exciting are they? |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
the idea that brazil were ever seriously not going to qualify for the WC is media hype, and ludicrous.
"he steered them to the WC with 3 wins from his last 5 games" - holy shit, 3 wins from 5? With brazil? Thats like, impossible! Hes a very good manager, no doubt. I just thought the engerlish might have had enough of another foreigner running what is supposed to be such a nationalistic pasttime. |

Or at least not world class. None of the top 5 teams in the Premiership have an English manager. It's over 10 years since any of Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool or Chelsea had an English manager (1995 Roy Evans). Why should we limit ourselves to a sub-world-class-standard manager if we don't have to? |

the press are going to ****ing maul him

Although I should say that a lot of football fans seem to be retards, based on what I've been hearing. I heard Ian Wright say on the morning news something along the lines of "I'd rather watch us drift in the wilderness for years under an English manager than win the world cup with a foreigner", which is irrational to the point of actually being spastic. A lot of plebs also seem to be saying much the same thing. I suppose this is why I'm not a football fan. I mean apart from the racism, violence, hooliganism, homophobia and all that, of course. |

it's a shame that the media gives a larger audience to spastics in generally really. |

But obviously being one game away from elimination in a league of 18 games is utterly safe, and anyone who suggests otherwise is causing a blight on humanity and should be tried for treason. |

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
These English managers who think they have some divine right to the job should leave their clubs and manage minor foreign national teams* first. If they perform beyond expectations, then they can be considered as England candidates.
*like scotland and wales "lol" |

Oh I see what you did there you're trying to make people think you're joking and that Scotland and Wales aren't minor footballing nations nice one. |
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
"lol" is so alien to me, I just can't pull it off (fnar fnar)
|
Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
You did it fine, I just wouldn't have bothered with the lol :)
Scotland and Wales are the perfect nations for a trainee England manager to manage. If he makes a good job of it, go him. They're nice and minor, not too important. |

If it's rather overweight people in speedos, they could do quite some damage.

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
I won at pool anyway. Yet another humiliation heaped on the Welsh, ranked right up there with the appointment of John Redwood as Secretary of State for Wales.

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
We can actually produce sucessful managers of our own tho :/

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
I knew it was too good to be true :(

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
My prediction is that he will take the job but only until after portugal have been knocked out of the WC, however he will probably have a gentlemans agreement with the FA until that point. This is because of the gentlemans agreement with the portugese FA prohibiting him to strike a deal until after the WC. We will see. But please no shit curbishley or mclaren to try and make up for it.

Re: [Football] So It Looks Like It's Scolari Then
