Simon Borg goes there:
Arena has more World Cup experience than Harry Redknapp and a lot less baggage. Aside from his recent spell at Tottenham, Redknapp’s resumé doesn’t blow anyone away.
Arena has plenty more international experience, including management of star players, than second-division coach Sam Allardyce.
And let’s not flatter Stuart Pierce with a comparison to The Bruce.
This is about as flimsy as an endorsement as you can find, in addition to the fact Borg seems under the impression that Beckham has an FA hotline (if he does, England is well and truly bunked).
But beyond that, the cultural mind-fuck that an Arena appointment would engender is too delicious to contemplate. File this under “will never happen, even in alternate universes.”
americans are so fucking self righteous
And maybe Mourinho will coach Canada!
This has to be the stupidest thing ive ever read in the internet. are u being serious? are u really trying to compare him to redknapp over world cup experience? i dont give a flying fuck if hes coached the usa at the world cup. better than allardyce? stuart pierce?
lmfao
It’s funny, they won’t put up transfer speculation now…because according to Whittall, it’s pathetic, but this gets an entire post all to itself. Shows how bush league this place is.
It seems you’re highlighting hypocrisy by illustrating consistency?
Let’s all learn about blockquotes!
exactly how is he bush league. He lead an american team to the Quarters and was a hand ball away from the semi. against the Germans who went to the final that year. While at the last world Cup a hand ball in the box would of not even helped England get through germany in that game. and IM ENGLISH mate. Bruce is a good coach but like Richard had said it will never happen because the snobs at the FA would never appoint an american.
Arena as England’s coach! It will never happen.
Other than England supporters, who gives a crap who the England coach is?
The team has been and continues to be, mediocre. New Alert! It’s the frickin players that do the business on the field….not the coaches.
If Capello, a great coach, couldn’t get the results. Rednapp going to do better? Why, because he’s English. Spare me.
To quote Mourinho, you need quality eggs to make a quality omelette. England does not have the eggs.
simon borg is an idiot, or maybe just has idiotic ideas
be sure to check out simon borg’s blog next week as he explains why Landon Donavon should the captain of the English National Team
No chance at all of ever happening or even getting on thesame piece of paper with the FA list of candidates.
Bruce Arena, I’ve always considered to be the Gerald Ford of head coaches. He just has a Homer Simpson quality to his demeanor. There is a bit of humour in the thought of Arena in a press conference discussing the team’s performance. D-oh.
What’s funny is they seriously wanted him as a caretaker manager through the euros. He said no. English national team is a joke, what other country actively works against its players and coach at ever turn?
