England coach
in [World Football]

From: gsn on 29 Jun 2010 08:12 I have not been keeping in touch with English football, but is there a reason why Alex Ferguson is not considered for England coach (with Beckham perhaps as assistant coach)? Are there issues like politics, lack of interest on Fergie's part? Looks like if anyone, Alex Ferguson can put together a winning team. gsn

Thats either enough for him to say no or the English to reject him. I'd speculate that he'd have to drop the sweet position at Man. U. to take it over as well. If the home terriotries ever got it through their head to make a UK team...

He is Scottish and has said before he has no interest in coaching England. He is too old anyway. He would have retired had Man U returned to win the CL in 2000, with the Final in Old Trafford. I think he only lingered because he wanted to win it again. Then he won it again. Can't quit. Can't identify the closing moment. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

He's too old + he's preoccupied with knocking Liverpool off their perch. He still lacks 2 European titles, that's out of his reach, but he'll do everythng to win that 19th home title. 19 league titles + 11 FA cups, 30 big home titles > 25 for Liverpool, 18 leauge + 7 FA cups. United definitely rule at home. In europe it's 5 - 3 for Liverpool, but that isn't that bad either, considering he's won 2 world titles along those 3 european titles for MU. Liverpool has none of those. EPL is a very difficult competition, there lies the problem, not in Capello. english player are not brazilians, virtous, etc. they're brute force, power. that's their style. when they don't have it, they suck. and their league is the most demanding one, physically speaking. so double reason why they outperformed. |
