Aged 48. Born in East London.
Eleven years in sole charge of Charlton Athletic, he has transformed them into an established Premiership side.
Is bound to feature highly if FA stick to their preferred choice of going for an Englishman.
Like McClaren, a safe choice, he would be unlikely to court controversy. But his lack of trophies and experience at top club or on the international scene may count against him.
Would probably jump at the chance to manage England, as he has very little left to prove at the Valley.
For:
Solid and safe.
Against:
No trophy success at club level.
