The best man should be picked regardless of his nationality, how many English managers have won the league in the last 20 years? Just one I believe, Capello has to be talked into achieving his dream 3 years earlier than planned.

It's got to be Paul Simpson, look what he's doing with Carlisle!
Chesney, England

The best English manager over the past decade was Terry Venables. Is his name still mud at the FA to the extent that they can't move to bring him back?
Roger Gorman, Australia

Big Sam for the job, he's built that team up from scratch. Now the team is good enough to beat Chelsea if they concentrate! But however it does not bother me if it's a foreigner.
Owen Farnes, Bournemouth

I think that it should be given to Fabio Capello because he has managed in the Champions League so he will have the international know how and the tactical mind to be a success and plus he also wants the job so I have one piece of advice for the FA: Give Capello the job.
Darren Ewen, England

Guus Hiddink would be ideal for England. He has four arms.
Arto Zubisjki, Czech Rep.

The last great England manager was Alf Ramsey; capped many times for England and successfully took a small club, Ipswich, from mediocrity to top flight league football before being given the job as manager of England. I would go for McLaren for what he has too achieved on meagre resources and has taken Middlesboro to quarter finals of Uefa cup plus he has the backing of the players; failing him I'd go for Curbishley.
James, Wales

Well I think that Steve Mc shouldn't get it even though I support Middlesbrough I don't think he should get it because he hasn't done a lot for us this year I think big Sam should get the job as the new England manager
Emma Wood, England

I have that bad feeling that its going to be Steve Mclaren. England has at least seven world class players surely we should have a world class manager. do any of the English candidates have these credentials? Scolari or Hiddink definitely do. Look at what Hiddink did with South Korea.

As an Englishman living overseas, I have been following this closely through the news and the BBC website. It is my prediction they will go for Steve McClaren with Stuart Pearce as assistant. Personally I would like to see an Englishman get the position but I am not convinced by anyone in the shortlist. At a push I think Curbishley would do well but the press would hound him for being naive at that level. Unfortunately there is no time to grow into the England Manager.
Ray Morley, New Hampshire

There is only one real candidate for the job and that is Martin O'Neill. He learnt his trade from the master who was never given the opportunity.
Richard Runciman, England

For me it has to be Martin O'Neill, his record at an average Leicester and the way he dominated the SPL with Celtic are the reason why he was linked with the Untied job years ago! He has the passion and the tactical know-how! Although I think he will accept the Newcastle job before he gets offered the England one.
David Sagar, UK

Agreed the only people who will be happy if Steve Mclaren is the next England manager are Middlesbrough fans.
