BBC专栏的一篇评论，作者推荐教授接手Capello的England国家队帅位。不过大多comment section的回复都持反对意见。
With the final dog-eared months ofFabio Capello's unexceptional reign as England manager slowly grinding by,someone somewhere at the FA must be giving ever more serious attention to thetask of replacing him.
The received wisdom is that the nextappointment will be an Englishman, and HarryRedknapp has made it as clear as political expediency allows that he wants thejob.
Redknapp would certainly bring arefreshing sense of humour and a common touch to the England bandwagon.
Too few recent England managers havelooked like they actually enjoy the job. Capello occasionally looks like he canonly just stomach it, as though English football and footballers are somethingto be endured rather than enjoyed.
I have no reason to think thatRedknapp would not be popular with the players and I know he would be popularwith the press - so long as England were doing well.
However, I hope the headhunters atthe FA will give serious consideration to another outstanding candidate who hasdemonstrated an enduring and very real affection for English football.
A manager whose CV is almost secondto none, who believes passionately in investing in the foundations forlong-term success, and a man who has probably done more to modernise theattitudes of the average English footballer than anyone else.
And he is a manager who might justfancy a change of scene.
That man is Arsene Wenger.
Saturday marks the 15th anniversaryof his appointment at Arsenal, and the club is unrecognisable from the onewhich he inherited.
Talk to any of the Arsenal playerswho were there when Wenger replaced Bruce Rioch and they will tell you about arevolution in the way they approached the job of being a professionalfootballer.
Over those 15 years he has hadconsiderable personal input in the design of both the new training ground andstadium.
He has built teams that have playedsome of the best football seen in the PremierLeague, and been consistently in the running for honours - sevenmajor trophies as well as being a runner-up 10 times.
Of course what he has not done iswin anything since the FA Cup in 2005.Some of the Arsenal fans who used to trust Wenger implicitly have had enough ofwaiting for the next silverware.
I can understand their frustrationas the financial muscle of Chelsea and Manchester City have turned Arsenal intotitle outsiders rather than prime contenders.
Whether the financial constraintsunder which Wenger works are self-imposed is still not really clear. What iscertain, though, is that he will not pay more for a player than he thinks he isworth.
He is clearly stubborn when it comesto money and don't forget that he has a Master's degree in economics from the University of Strasbourg.
Arsenal's players are hardlypaupers, but nor are they paid so handsomely that their heads can't be turned -just count the former Gunners at ManchesterCity.
At club level there is a temptationto judge players' abilities by how much they cost, not by how good theirtechnique is. In the international game transfer fees are an irrelevance, wagesmean nothing.
The international game is the levelplaying field which Wenger hopes UEFA'sfinancial fair play rules will help to create in club football.
It's about development from thegrassroots up and coaching and it may now be a more natural home for Wengerthan the money merry-go-round of the Premier League.
Of course, Arsenal's indifferentstart to this campaign might well make the Frenchman even more determined tostay and fight for what he believes is the right way to run a major footballclub.
It may be that the sporadic busyspells of the England job would not suit a man who spends so much time steepedin the day-to-day minutiae of nurturing his squad. It's possible he justwouldn't want the grief.
But I'd like to think that someoneat the FA would find out. |

讲而已，到接近转会期最后一天。就会说回这六年同样的话：“我们要对俱乐部财政负责，谁人能担保买了新球员就会夺冠？”
