I know he will always be a Judas to some on here but I do wonder what Redknapp would have done with our shower if he got hold of them instead of Allardyce. No one has excited me in the top job since El Tel but Harry at that time would have.
The bookies fancy Eddie Howe as the next England manager but I don't really know what he stands for.
We should have three stars on our shirt by now.
Three stars meaning three world cups?
No chance we 'should have' three world cups in the bag. We are fortunate to have one, as we got a little bit of luck in 1966 like Argentina did in 1986.
In 1990, if we had got past Germany, the Argies would likely have beaten us.
2018 if we had got past Croatia, France would have battered us. That's a certainty.
2022, if we had got past France and then Morocco, Argentina would have beaten us.
We have lost world cup quarter finals but getting to a world cup quarter final isn't too hard.
You can make a case for us having won at least one European championship by now, but not three world cups.
England will win a euros or something when it's least expected.
I maybe agree on the last point, ref winning something when least expected, and overall I also agree with you - I can't see England or scum winning anything anytime soon, and neither have either deserved to win anything.
