he couldn't even deal with intrusive journo's. and one expects him to be the england gaffer?
bah. humbug.
and how come everyone - well, almost - seems to think that only club manager's [read: english or british for that matter] with impressive track club records are capable of running the show?
how about a proven ex-footballer? one who's caretaking a non-league club perhaps? anyone?
hmm, how about Tony Adams? Gazza?? right. i am but of course jokin.
as enscribed by the letter b @ April 29, 2006 04:26 AM | someone's pingedgood to hear from you, coffdrop :) Scolari has my sympathies but i suppose my prejudice - whatever that means - showed. we'll never know but he might had considered the offer but for the press to spook him. no thanks to them definitely, but then again, that's part of the deal though not included [or mentioned specifically] in the contract.
to be honest, i can't name - off the top of me head - any particular decent recently-retired player of the English game who can lead England. as well as dealing with the intrusive press. except perhaps Pearce.
if the FA still persists in hiring foreign gaffer's, Maradona perhaps? he could teach us a trick or three. like how to execute the hand-of-god perhaps.
as blahed by the letter b @ May 2, 2006 08:22 AMThank goodness you are joking, Adams didn't do a particularly good job at Wycombe and Gazza is just a joke, who has a long way to go to prove himself.
The press hounded Scolari out of the job before he had even started. The amount of attention the appointment process is getting in the English press is beyond a joke, it's a bloody job and it just a bloody game that will change nothing when all is done and dusted.
