Yes!

I am not an England fan, nor am I English, but who would replace him?

There are too many egos in the England squad, they don't gel, its not poor Steve McClaren's fault that they don't, once again the coach is being blamed for the short comings of the players as a whole.

Neither.

I don't think he's up to the job, but neither do I think him to be a w4nker (despite him being a former Scum employee ).

Yes, but he has alot of pressure on him! Imagine the public outcry if he left Rooney or someone out of the team? He would be crucified!

As afore mentioned: BALLS.

If you are the manager, you want to be free to make the changes you need to make it your team. If Rooney is not in form, drop him. If he plays better with a mechanical lamp-post, pick Crouch.
Oi, pressure - nooooooooooooooooooo!

Boring, poor decision maker - better as a head coach with a real manager.Which they know, hence E; Tel making an appearance...

Give the poor man time! Sven was given the benefit of the doubt, so why not give Steve McClaren it too?

Sven was Swedish! You have to keep the English end up! I feel sorry for him! How many matches has he been in charge? Remember England were crap anyway before Steve McClaren stepped in!

Sven also looks like a 68 year-old foetus.

We have to accept it, we'll never be any good, we're too English.

Sam Allardyce should have got the job, he wouldn't be afraid to throw in passionate players like Nolan to get the likes of Lumpard and Gerrard performing, he always gets his tactics spot on and I'm sure he could take the egos down a peg or two.

He's not w-nker imo but not very good for the England squad, if he had no balls before he'll have fewer(is that possible) now as he'll be criticised for leaving big name players out.

Sven has been the only decent England manager I can remember as he did have balls, watched alot of prem games live and was willing to bring in players and experiment. He did lose interest for thw WC but who can blame him.

I don't think that lumping the ball up the pitch quite works in international games.....

Yep, and Steve McClaren was in the set-up then

His taking over was supposed to bring change, well....his "new approach" lasted a handful of games.

Just look at the crap on Saturday, 'giving him a chance' - get someone else in.
