So, after another manager, or so it seems, is about to bite the dust, who will be the next one to take the job?
It has to be someone that can inspire the players to play football, you would think that would be something relatively simple to do, seeing how much they are paid!
English or foreign, it doesn't matter, passion is what we need, there have been so many uninspiring performances in the last few years, not only under McClaren, but also under Sven - is it time we started looking at the under performing players? Are managers too often used as a way of papering over the cracks, and being made scapegoats? We need a manager that will boss the team in the way that Sir Alex Ferguson does at Manchester United, the players respect, and are probably scared, of him, and they are there to perform - no player is bigger than the team, and he will not take any bol****s from them, which is how it should be?
Vote in the poll, we'll keep you updated with what we hear if you do the same!

From the bbc website...
...part of an article from the BBC.co.uk website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6572149.stm)
Duncan Fletcher will step down as England coach after their last World Cup match against West Indies on Saturday, the BBC understands.
Duncan Fletcher will step down as England coach after their last World Cup match against West Indies on Saturday, the BBC understands.
Peter Moores, currently the England Academy coach, will take over on a temporary basis.
He will be in charge until the Schofield report, into the Ashes debacle and World Cup failure, is published in early May.
Fletcher, 58, has been England coach since 1999.
David Morgan, the England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, is set to confirm Fletcher's departure at a news conference scheduled for 1630 BST.
Fletcher had come under increasing pressure after England were beaten 5-0 in the Ashes series and then failed to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
They exited the World Cup after a humiliating nine-wicket loss to South Africa on Tuesday.
The ECB would not comment ahead of the Thursday's news conference.
Spokesman Andrew Walpole would say only: "We are aware of the issues being discussed and we feel the best way to deal with that is on Thursday and the best person to deal with it is the chairman."
Asked whether Fletcher had already resigned, Walpole refused to comment and stressed: "I am not going to answer any questions - you can address all your questions to David Morgan." Fletcher decided against holding his usual post-match news conference after England crashed out of the World Cup.
Instead he played a round of golf with England captain Michael Vaughan in Barbados on Wednesday.
BBC Sports Editor Mihir Bose said: "The performance at the World Cup has clearly not been good enough and Peter Moores will take over on a temporary basis.
"Clearly the preparation ahead of the Ashes went wrong. If you look back at that first wide ball that Stephen Harmison bowled it was clear that the preparation wasn't there.
"As for one-day cricket, England have never been very good."
Fletcher quits...
...as expected, news is coming through that Duncan Fletcher has quit as England, sorry England and Wales, Cricket coach. Who will be the next England Cricket manager, any thoughts?

Alan Curbishley...
...deserves a special mention now.
Here at nextenglandmanager.co.uk, we are proud West Ham fans, and whilst we are still getting over the departure of Harry Redknapp, we are thankful for everything Alan Pardew did for the club, especially the FA CUp final last season, one of the truly great finals!
Best of luck to Alan, we're sure he'll be back soon, and good luck to him!
Onto the next person into the hotseat at Upton Park, Sven has had his name thrown around since the rumours about the takeover started. We think he is a great manager (despite what he didn't do with England!), but not sure that he will 'get' the mighty hammers...could be interesting, but we're rooting for a more traditional, hands on, kind of manager.
Other names in the frame include Terry Venables and Paul Jewell. Leaving Wigan may be something that Mr Jewell does involuntarily in the not too distant future, but we're not sure if the sunny south is for him. Venables would be a great manager, but does he want the pressure of club football again at the moment, when he has a job shaping England as a national team?
Our money is going on the favourite, local boy, and former Hammers hero, Alan Curbishley. Having had a nice relaxing 6 months out of football, since leaving Charlton, Curbs has been linked with every job in Football. He did wonders at Charlton, and if he is to come in at West Ham, we hope he can work with the new owner to take West Ham to the pinnacle of English football - look out Manchester United, Chelsea think they'll be bigger than you in 2014, but they never said anything about West Ham!!!!!
*****
Elsewhere, Dean Richards has commented that he has not been approached by the RFU regarding the England Rugby coach job, left vacant by Andy Robinsons departure last week. The RFU will have a mandatory head scratching period, before they appoint the next coach, but the smart money has to be on the Harlequins head coach, Richards, who did great things as an English player, and has a fantastic coaching record with 4 (consecutive) titles, and 2 Heineken cups to his name. He wants it, the fans would get behind him, as would the players. Let's hope Rob Andrew can convince the board that this is the first step in taking England Rugby back where they belong, and getting the national game sorted out from the mess it is in at the moment!

Andy winner is...
Well, after an awful run of form, the English rugby team have finally won, just!!!
Andy Robinson was a brave choice from the RFU, and last week, after 7 (yes, seven!) straight defeats, the Rugby World Champions were somewhat unsettled on the field. The RFU held meetings, the press continued to mount speculation that Andy Robinson, England manager, would not hold the position for much longer.
November started badly, losing to New Zealand, in a good game, was a promising performance, but then a loss and a shocking performance against Argentina saw the team booed off the field at their home ground in Twickenham.
People were calling for Andy Robinson to be sacked, and following a narrow victory over South Africa, this pressure may have been temporarily relieved, however the speculation will still be that England need a new manager, if they are to attain the heights reached in 2003, when they beat Australia in the Rugby Union World Cup Final, with almost the last kick of the game from Jonny Wilkinson.
Andy Robinson may not be the England Manager for much longer, but who will be the next england manager? Now is a good time to get your bets on, as you will get better odds at the moment.....we're looking to do some research on a short list for the next england manager, so who do you think is in the frame? Will Rob Andrew be the next england manager, or will it be Dean Richards. With the trend these days to look abroad, will the england manager be from overseas? Who would you like us to track? Leave a comment....
Changing sports back to FOOTBALL......Steve McClaren has not had the greatest start to his career as England Manager, but the football has generally been good. A draw against the Dutch in Holland last week was a good game, and England could feel a little hard done by for the equaliser the Holland team scored shortly before the end, and a couple of bad results in the Euro qualifiers, England find themselves 3rd in the qualifying group going into the new year. Any thoughts on whether McClaren will be the England Manager this time next year, or have you any hot tips or gossip about what will happen...let us know by leaving a comment.....

and the winner is....
...Well, what can we say?! Madness prevails! Big phil has ruled himself out, big sam looks to have ruled himself out, with curbs leaving charlton at the end of the season, who knows what will happen today?
When Sven announced his intention to leave after taking England to Germany, the FA were quick to say that there would be a replacement announced before the world cup, with the world cup about 5 weeks ago, all of this speculation is no good for the men who will be involved in Germany. And Rooney of course!
The latest seems to be that Steve McClaren is favourite, especially as Sam Allardyce is reported to have admitted defeat, whichever way it goes, the FA have a board meeting tomorrow, and we're reportedly going to be introduced to the new boss tomorrow as well.....haven't we been here before?!
Let up know what you think, and where your money is, and who you want to be in charge!
