By the examples you brought up, I'm sure I'll be capable of bringing England to win any tournament and especially the world cup. Oh joy!
You really don't get it, do you ? Marco van Basten didn't have any experience as a coach, but he has a history where the players look up to. They respect him for what he achieved, and are more willing to give it all they got before his eyes, than those of any other coach, experienced or no.

So you can't put just anyone in front of a group of overpaid footballstars, but he also doesn't necessarily have to be experienced. I can come up with a thousand examples of coaches with a truckload of experience, that didn't do a very good job as a coach for either a nation's national team, or a clubteam. Perhaps England should give it a go with Stuart Pearce. It would at least be a fresh start.
[/QUOTE]Marco van basten can be successful, is because holland has already got some good world class players.Good players plus a coach that knows what he doing, a success no? Now, let say we make him a Brunei coach or to coach Maldives. A team that have no world class players whatsoever. Can he be successful? Will you still be kissing his arse?

Edit : Alan Curbishley? ehh, I totally forgot about him, his not bad. Now when people mentioned Stuart Pierce.I think straight about Man City.
