Ensure Alan Shearer becomes the next England manager to instill pride in the UK

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Over the past 19 years the FA has appointed managers for the national team with little if not any ability to project, instill or enhance a sense of national pride into our country's selected players.
the national team has an effect on us the people and we deserve to be heart broken no more!
Steve maclarean (no heart), Sven (wimp, no passion), (coppello, angry....just angry), hodgeson (comedy value)........shearer (absolute legend, pride, belief, strength, no nonsense, leader).

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
