Curbishley or Pardew for England?

For a long time every time there was a managerial vacancy, Alan Curbishley got mentioned. It's happened less often recently or at least the odds have been longer. However, he does appear in the odds for England manager, admittedly the shortest odds are 50-1: Curbs

There was a time when he was seriously considered for the job, but he has been out of management for too long. What is frightening are the relatively short odds for Alan Pardew. Amazing: you avoid relegation with Palace and you are in the frame for England manager. I suppose the one consolation is that Dowie's name isn't there, although he took time off from his day job to offer asinine commentary on the Euros.
