If I were the FA, I'd try to get Hiddink. He's currently out of contract after leaving Turkey, he speaks fantastic English, and he's got a proven pedigree for getting results quickly (which England need right now because they don't have a lot of time before the tournament), getting teams fired up and ready to play (which England need right now in the wake of this whole Terry scandal), and getting international teams to punch above their weight (which England need right now because man for man, I just don't see them beating Spain, Germany or even Holland). I know they want an English manager, but there aren't exactly many options available at the moment. There are few world class English managers in the world, and most of them are tied up with other things. Redknapp is about the only one I could see taking a stab at it (largely because he's getting on and might not get another chance), and even then I'm not convinced he'd be a rousing success being that his greatest strength is his ability to wheel and deal in the transfer market. I think they ought to swallow their pride and pay what they need for a guy who is likely the best out of contract manager out there.
