I know that they don't feel the need to include the "English" in their title. I just couldn't resist having a pop at it! :twisted:
Seriously, I don't think you currently have the playes to deliver on that expectation.
If that is the measure of success for the next England manager, nobody will touch the job with a barge pole.
Next management team needs a 5 year term and a fair bit of time to get the structures right. They should also have measurable performance goals by which to judge progress.
On the playing front winning more games than you lose might be a good place to start.

I wouldn't argue with that. If the foundations of English rugby are loose, what chance has the new roofer got ?
Why do we need to replace AR, if the position is purely a management slot with no need to coach (according to Rob Andrew) then why doesnt he get off his a** and do it. If I recall correctly he was brought in to do the management side while AR was supposedly going to focus more on coaching. Seems to me if we bring in another manager it's just another RFU waste of time and money, plus who wants to play second fiddle to Rob Andrew who has done nothing with a team since the first year of the professional game.
Think of it in Royal terms. The Queen sits at the top (Andrews) and she delegates the running of England to (Blair). Blair has been deposed in the real world (ha ha) and there needs to be a new Blair.
I think there is a bit of media momentum in favour of a Deano / Wells reunion. They guided us to being the best club rugby side the NH has ever produced (and that came from a certain Stuart Barnes), and Deano is widely admired and respected for his wonderful contribution to the game as both a player and coach.
If they are going to 'go English', that is the very obvious pick.

It's the pick I'd like but has Deanno not just renewed his contract at Quinns?
