UPDATE: 12.12.07: Morrissey the most English person in the world?
The FA should look to Morrissey, not Mourinho.
England's new manager must be to England what Captain America is to America. He must be the very distillation of Englishness. And in all seriousness, there can be only one candidate. Cometh the crisis, cometh the man. Step forward Stephen Patrick Morrissey*.
[snip]
Morrissey should be the new England manager because, despite being Irish, he is the most English person alive apart from Mrs Thatcher, who is a woman. And like Mrs Thatcher he is of the opinion that real Englishness is under threat.
Morrissey is not only the most English Englishman alive, he's also the most northern (as revealed by an online poll carried out by Salford art gallery, The Lowry). And northerness is to Englishness what unicorns are to horses, what with being further away from France.
They should give awards for sentences like that last one.
[*ahem, that's Steven Patrick Morrissey, thank you.]
Having Irish blood, I have an opinion of the Occupation best not expressed on a family blog.

A family blog! I love it! (And I'd better raise my standards.) ;->
