The England football team has been without a manager for a couple of weeks now and already we have been inundated with stories linking everyone from Martin O’Neill to Sir Alex Ferguson with the job.

One by one, the supposed candidates have counted themselves out of the running, but then without a firm offer of work they would say that wouldn’t they?  Why run the risk of upsetting your own team’s fans and more importantly your current employer by openly courting another job in public?

But assuming the likes of O’Neill, Curbishley etc are all geniunely not after the job then who is really in the frame?
