The latest reports have the England job being between Big Phil Scolari and Steve "I'm suspicious of that word entertainment" McLaren. Whoever the FA appoint, it should set off a managerial merry go round. If it's Scolari, then the Portugal job will be vacant and Joes Mourinho's name will inevitably be connected with that job. Could Chelsea be searching for a new boss this summer? Similarly, McLaren taking the job would leave a vacancy at Middlesbrough which someone will fancy. Not to mention Newcastle, who seem to be waiting for the FA to make their move before appointing a new manager.
