The independent sports pressure group 'The Sports Nexus' in association with Guardian Newspapers today publish a YouGov poll of English football fans to find out who they want to be the next England Manager.
The results clearly show a rejection of 'Big Phil' Scolari to take up the position despite a reported offer from the FA for the role. Only 9% of all fans who were asked felt that he was the right man for the job.
Heading the poll was Martin O'Neill with 23% with Sam Alladice the front runner of the English candidates with 15% of the vote.
The poll also emphasises the difficult task facing the FA as none of the candidates proved to be a clear favourite with the fans.
Despite this, 56% of all fans replied that the FA have handled the appointment 'Not well, or not very well at all'.
Phil Snape, Director of the Sports Nexus said today:
'The fans clearly do not share the FA's admiration for Scolari and have opted for candidates with a greater knowledge of the English game.'
'The FA should be careful what they wish for, if Scolari is prepared to do a deal with them on the eve of the World Cup while working for Portugal, how can we trust the man not to do the same to England four years from now?'
'Typically, the FA have handled this appointment appallingly. Their recruitment procedure has been a disaster from start to finish as they have lurched from one candidate to the next. Brian Barwick is the Chief Executive, he should start acting like one'.

Forget your foreign dross, its the media and the FA's fault no Englishman wants the gauntlett. |
