    Is Steve Bruce about to set a record for the number of different jobs linked with at one time? I read somewhere the other day he was 'poised' to replace Mark Hughes at Stoke, but you'd think he'd be up there in the England reckoning as well, or even Derby.

    Actually feel a bit sorry for the geezer. You only get one shot at this and he's had to fuck it off after one game. Well done to the 'journalists' involved: fucking wankers.

    Absolutely nailed on. If ever there was a case of 'bringing the game into disrepute' it was that.

    It'll be Gary fucking Neville won't it.

    I'm not sure. For him the real victory was being given the job in the first place. Now he gets to walk away without failing.

    Will he get re-hired in 10 years' time after doing well because clubs have absolutely no shame and he does a good job with at least two Premier League teams or a Championship one he gets promoted?

    English national football will be that bad by then so feel free to quote this in 2026.

    No sympathy whatsoever and nor am I that bothered about the journalists. It's all his own fault.

    Odds as of this morning for the next manager:

    Alan Pardew 3/1
    Steve Bruce 6/1
    Eddie Howe 8/1
    Glenn Hoddle 10/1
    Gareth Southgate 10/1
    Jurgen Klinsmann 14/1
    Alan Shearer 20/1
    Arsene Wenger 22/1
    Slaven Bilic 25/1
    Roberto Mancini 25/1
    Gary Neville 25/1
    Harry Redknapp 25/1
    Vincente Del Bosque 25/1
    David Moyes 30/1
    Claudio Ranieri 30/1

    We need to cheat and go foreign again I think.

    I guess with Pardew the World Cup may happen to coincide with him having one of his brilliant runs, and if it coincides with one of his absolutely awful runs then he'll achieved par.

    Klinsmann would be fun purely to see the anger he'd evoke on here.

    If it's anybody other than Steve Bruce (assuming we get another English one) then bollocks.

    Oh Pardew would likely be awful. His head is close enough to exploding with arrogance without the national team job.

    We must go foreign. There just aren't any good enough English options.

    Oh yeah, absolute reptiles. But that's the nature of it these days and he's an absolute imbecile to not just stop lining his pockets for a few years if he really wanted this job. He could go back to whatever he liked once he was back at a club, it's not like he's short of a few bob.

    Pardew post-match conferences with England might be the best or worst thing.

    "I took the guys out for some Nandos in the week for team bonding. We may have lost 3-1 but we won the second half and showed great character."

    I couldn't say no when I saw his odds. He's 'a name', the FA would be willing to write off his United spell and he'd be up for it.

    I could see them going for van Gaal actually. Looking forward to hearing more great stories about what he achieved in the 90s after we lose to Malta.

    Mancini's the better shout. LVG still has the taint and the press would just give him shit all the time. Mancini has lovely hair and scarves.

    In surprised to see Allardyce step down so quickly. The footage is dodgy, but I thought he'd survive this.
    Makes me wonder if the FA asked Sam if there's more to come out and he walked before the serious shit hits the fan.

    According to SSN, the FA had asked the newspaper to see all the footage today.

    'LvG' would be brilliant. England matches are boring anyway, and wasn't he the best big game manager in the league during his United spell? He would only have to get us to the quarter finals of something to be a success as well, and then he could get his arse out in the press conference.

    They asked for the video footage, not an account from a journalist.
