During Soccer Saturday, Paul Merson and Phil Thompson discuss who the next England manager should be

The Soccer Saturday pundits have their say on the England manager contenders, with Paul Merson offering an interesting prediction...

Names like Arsene Wenger, Eddie Howe and Alan Pardew have been thrown into the frame for the vacant position, with both Merson and Phil Thompson agreeing another Englishman should be given the job. 

The Magic Man even goes so far as to name who could win the Three Lions the World Cup, while former Liverpool captain Thommo says current caretaker manager Gareth Southgate should be given his chance to do the job full-time. 

Merson also says that any English manager would want the job and would not want to turn it town.
