The fact is that success as a club team manager does not automatically equate to success with a national squad.
With regards to "best record of all time", absolute bullshit. The basic numbers suggest a good record, in friendlies against weak opposition. But when it mattered against proper teams it was embarrasingly bad.
Lies, dam lies, and statistics.

Never got the team to gel, what like Maclaren or Sven? just accept England may be in the top 10 but they're not the best.
3 or 4 players could get into most teams in the world, but that's about it.
English players need to go abroad to learn how to play in different leagues.
Scotland beat England in 67, did that make Alf Ramsey a shit manager?
Fact is the squad is not as good as Spain, Germany. Italy are masters at slowing the game, and Holland on a good day, {when they're not arguing with eachother} are great.
Spain world and euro champions lost to the USA, Switzerland and all those friendly losses since the wc. Does that make them shit?
At least we're not as bad as the Portugal team, they've got great players but always struggle.
May as well add Spurs got knocked out the Europa league, damn even Stoke are still in it. So will RedKnapp make a good manager?
