England


Nobody

Recommended Posts

I think Eddie Howe will stay. It's a very exciting project here, he's been shown a huge amount of trust and I'm 99% sure there will be future opportunities for him to manage England. He could feasibly manage another 20-30 years at top level.

 

That being said, sure it'd be hard to turn down. Would be great pay and loads of time with his, presumably, young family.

Hope Eddie releases a video where he sprays his face and teeth black and white shouting “I am awaited in the Champions League 2025-26” and then throws a harpoon into an FA executive’s balding skull

If you look at the headlines, the narrative is he's only got as far as he has due to easy draws and has played shite football. 

 

Well it's not really far off the truth tbh.

Really hope Potter gets the job, reckon he would be perfect for the squad we've got. 


 

Harry Potter?  Will need some of his magic to win anything with the current bunch of useless twonks.

maybe if you look at the headlines - but then go deeper into who we played and how we played and its different.

he might have been the most successful but definitely not the best. very fine distinction.

 

So who is?

It's very easy to forget how dire it was to manage and support England before Southgate came in. 

 

Success was not being rubbish from what I remember. 

 

I think there's a good chance the FA don't care enough about winning a trophy to risk getting back into the market for big-name managers and they just appoint from within instead.

Potter favourite with Carsley 2nd and Howe in 3rd, then you go outside that group to 7s and 8s with Poch and Klopp. Klopp would be interesting, how would the "Scouse not English" feel about that turmoil?

maybe if you look at the albums - but then go deeper into who he slept with and how old they were it's different.

he might have been the most talented, but Bowie was definitely a massive nonce. very fine distinction.

Klopp would be superb but I’d be shocked if he’d agree to it.

 

He has the motivational skills plus a deeper tactical awareness, and an international job might suit him given he wanted a break. Could be a perfect fit 

 

Except I think he’ll only want the Germany job

He definitely stayed a tournament too long. 

 

He's basically undid a lot of his good work this tournament and will probably be remembered less fondly than he should have been really.

 

It wasn't even just the negative approach we genuinely looked like one of the worst coached sides in the whole thing. 

 

 

 

I think Bellingham saved him from this fate with his last minute equaliser. 

 

Had we gone out then the narrative would be very different despite the job he'd done being exactly the same.

England manager should be English imo, don't think we should go foreign again.

 

Staff should be the same as players. Have to be that nationality and if you could pick more than one once you choose you're locked in.

But the Premier League has been built on foreigners, players and managers.  It’s not like other leagues where they had a Conte, Mancini, Del Bosque, etc. Our league was built on Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and now Pep. I think we’re the exception to the rule in that respect.

its all about opinions.

for me its was SBR.

edged out of two world cups by the eventual chamipons. thought we were unlucky. if lineker had equalised i reckon we would have beaten Argentina, and just milliemetres from gazza getting the win in the semi againts germany.

after the first couple of games in each tournament he tweaked the personell and system and we played much better  - i know wilkins red, and robsons shoulder played a part in 86 but that wasnt the whole story.  some player pressure in 90 about changing formation but robson was open to it and not stubborn.

 

 

again, just imho.

I'm not old enough to remember so I'll take your word for it. Which Euros were your favourite under Robson, Euro 84 which we failed to qualify for or Euro 88 where we finished bottom of the group?

I feel so gaslit watching the coverage about this.

 

Yeah he did a good job 8 years ago. For the last 4 he's been garbage.

If the FA are going to approach Howe it needs to happen this week, no point taking him a week or two before the season starts, I imagine he'll be tapped up first, so if they ask permission it means he wants to go

What in particular was garbage about the 2022 World Cup? 

 

We scored 12 goals in the first 4 games and then ultimately a missed penalty cost us a quarter final in which we were the better side.
