Ste Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Aye, to be expected. It’s his if he does well imo, unless the perfect candidate steps forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Appointing an interim makes perfect sense. Keeping the door open for Eddie if things go wrong at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Fwiw I actually want Carsley to be appointed full time, using the Under 21's, under 18's etc as a proving ground to bed in coach's is something more national associations are starting to do, it's a completely different skillset to being an international manager then at club level, and by recruiting from within a lot of players would already be familiar with him, and what he wants and offers continuity. It'd actually be very lined up thinking from the FA, Carsley has also done an exceptional job at the Under-21s and plays progressive and attacking football, it makes a lot of sense to me.

Obviously I want them nowhere near EH so that maybe clouds my thinking but ultimately if they don’t give it to Carsley FT what’s the whole point in ST Georges Park etc. Also I don’t think EH’s strengths are what are needed at international level. Not saying he wouldn’t do a decent job but you could equally find him looking as stubborn as Southgate in his selections once he gets sucked into the FA culture.

Nobody Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 1 hour ago, gbandit said: No one UEFA and smaller nations. It's still better than the friendlies that they've replaced. Still utterly ridiculous to have an international break 3 weeks into a new season. Most players that went far in the Euros hasn't even got going yet and it's already a big old round of internationals :lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 As I’ve said before the season should be condensed and all of these breaks removed. Either play them all at the start or end of a season and shift the calendar. These games would generate far more interest if they were played in one period of time annually.

I do, they’re a million times better than the pointless international friendlies that used to fill the fixtures in the International Calender that’s been taken over by the Nations League. For people from nations that aren’t a part of the «always qualify for all the tournaments regardless» crowd, the fact doing well in the Nations League can lead to qualifying for a proper International tournament is massive.
