Rant might ordinarily throw its hat into the ring for the big job after Fabio Capello’s jump-before-you’re-pushed resignation today. After all, here at Rant towers we’ve lost count of the medals won, the glory soaked up, the years on the managerial treadmill – there really is no better grounding for the real thing than Football Manager. But, alas we cannot this time.
You see, there is only one man who can look at this particular poisoned chalice, and squarely face it down. Only one man for whom controversy could never rear its ugly head. Even if he tried. Really hard. One man whom the Football Association could guarantee to tow the party line. No matter how absurd the line may me.
Is he English? Check! Does he have significant European and international experience at the very top? Check! Does he wear riddiculously tight shorts? Check! Even in winter? Check!
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you, the next England manager. Old tight shorts himself, the one, the only, Michael Christopher “Mike” Phelan…
The next England manager

Good shout. I was thinking Gareth Southgate but Phelan sounds good too.

I'd like to see Hoddle get another crack at it, but the media wouldn't give him a moments peace.

There is talk of Rafa Benitez talking over
It would be a disaster if so, because the press and fans wouldn't tolerate his crazy lineups, bonkers subsitutions and his infamous plan B... and C, D, E, F, G formations

Benitez is pimping himself around looking for work... won't happen.

arry or woy. if you can’t abbreviate their name, I’m not interested

Yeah, an abbreviated name is important because it makes them appear more personable than they actually are
Can't have hodgeson though, because not being able to pronounce the letter R suggests a weak personality. Obviously that's bollocks, but we're muppets, and we focus on ridiculous insignificant detail so that we can ignore the stuff that actually matters, like the football
