sorry to disagree here Exile but ....
For the love of God no!
Great Footballer, an ok guy but he's a friggin eegit.
Fabio Capello may be ok. (Mourinho said no already) I can not see an Englishman who could improve things and none of the best home-nation candidates would do it.
Let's face it! English football needs more than a new manager anyway.
Sir Trevor needs to set up a series of academies and a network of coaches etc which can work in conjunction but also in opposition to some aspects of the club youth academy systems.
At present we have a great league (EPL) which shepherds English players into certain roles in their respective teams. Within them they are rarely the creators or the brains of any team. this job falls on the heads of more cultured and more intelligent imported players.
As a result we have a team with no brain, no direction and no identity. the English 'culture' of football has fallen into a disparate morsel of what it should be (face it we were never very good anyway)
I do not beleive that foreign players should not be prevalent in our football but we need some intelligent people at the top of our game to create, with their millions in revenue, a new national pride in a style of football. We can no longer be a half way house between passion technique.
