for the only England manager ever to take them to two major tournament finals, in a way it's remarkable that he's never in the mix when a PL job comes up - when any job comes up in fact. Umless he's quietly turning them down.

The flipside is that his record at club level is poor. He'd hardly be an exciting appointment, yet at the right club there is every chance he'd succeed. I just don't think that club is EFC.
