[NickKIELCEPoland]

Leicester have sacked Craig Shakespeare. Does he have a future as England manager? Who will Leicester appoint to succeed him?

Pardew would be a good shout. He's been manager of West Ham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace and taken each of those clubs to a top 5 position in a major competition.

There's a certain 50 something with all the right badges who's been just waiting for a top flight job to give him his first managerial role.

No, Peter Beardsley wouldn't be the right choice. If it was the Toon it would be different - that would lead to the special magic that happens when a much loved servant of the club (Keegan/Newcastle - Guardiola/Barça - Zidane/Real) meets the fans who love him. It would have that special reaction which leads to such great results. With Leicester, they'd have to rely purely on Beardsley's managerial skills, and those haven't been proven, although they will have been sharpened by all his experience.

You forgot Shearer/Newcastle

Well, that was only eight matches - not much on which to form an opinion, I'd say.

Maybe they should bring in John Carver, he is a special kind of manager.

[Colly]

Who said anything about Peter Beardsley?

[NickKIELCEPoland]

Yes, he ticks the box for specialness. The trouble is that he doesn't tick the next box, which asks if the specialness if for good managerial qualities.

[NickKIELCEPoland]

Who said anything about Peter Beardsley?

I guessed it. Was I wrong to guess that it was him that you had in mind?

Craig Shakespeare and Harry Redknapp are the only English managers after Terry Venables with Barcelona in 1986, who have taken clubs to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, previously called the European Cup.

Doesn't mean a lot. Di Matteo won the CL but he's not a particularly good manager.

Well, some people might disagree with your opinion on Di Matteo.

The laddie doth protest too much, methinks.

Good enough for him.

Give it to Linekar. Or Kasabian.
