STUHILL Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 Southgate is staying. He is milking it. No better job out there for him. I was actually pretty pleased with his performance this World Cup. As long as he kicks this picking his favourites habit. He could well do us proud over next 4 years. Rodgers would jump at the job though no doubt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team selection is his downfall, three holding midfielders & no creativity !! As much as I dislike him, Brendan is twice the coach Southgate will ever be .. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cares too much about being liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheStig Posted 13 December 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 December 2022 With respect. I shall never be able to understand how the public can be satisfied with a manager (Southgate) that has brought you "nothing". Surely England cannot be pleased with reaching semis, and quarters (plus a final)? Aspirations must be much higher than that and it all boils down to it "being good enough" - or "he is a nice guy" - the manager! The quality players are there so there is no reason whatsoever that England shouldn´t do better. So get rid and get in someone who can drive this group of players forward and stop the "being satisfied with what we have done". 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the fact that he has landed in the job at the right time, but in saying that while limited he has brought the team together there isn’t that separation you felt with past England teams. There is a unity. Now I have had time to think about things though we need more if we won’t to win, and like you say finally we have the players and we don’t want to waste it Edited 13 December 2022 by foxes_rule1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 (edited) I just can't see England approaching him. But would anyone here complain from a Leicester point of view if it hypothetically happened?

Corky Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 The press scrutiny would be too much. He gets very tetchy at a club who are nowhere near the biggest in the country; managing the national team is amplified infinite times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 There's no chance a PL manager leaves a half decent PL job for England nowadays. Rodgers for a start would be bored senseless by the lack of training ground interaction. The England job is for 3rd rate managerial quality ,(though I concede that Southgate is a first class CEO and ambassador) or for top level veteran been-there-done-it types (mourhino in say 5 years,) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 (edited) Thomas Tuchel is the guy. Winning mentality, plays the kind of football the FA want, good record in knock-out competition, knows English football very well and a decent proportion of the team and is currently unemployed. What Southgate can take credit for is the fact that the England job is a much more attractive one than the one he inherited after the Euro 2016 debacle. He has a very talented squad of young players who are only going to improve and seem to gave the right attitude and mentality. You get the impression that he's probably taken the team as far as his abilities will allow, but not as far as their abilities will allow. For that reason, the pool of managers who'll fancy it is a lot deeper than five or six years ago. You can bet that Southgate's replacement will have a very impressive CV.

Foxxed Posted 13 December 2022 Share Posted 13 December 2022 Is the FA averse to foreign coaches? Isn’t it the FA’s fault, along with the Premier League money drain, that the coaching in this country is comparatively a bit shit anyway? What does wanting a yes man mean? What precisely do they want to hear yes to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, personally I feel all too nations should have a manager from their own country - that makes international football what it is. Also, I could be wrong, but don’t think a manager has won the World Cup who hasn’t been from the nation he is managing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run I’d like more investment into coaching in this country then we’d be able to get an English manager based on merit rather than nationality.
