TaylorJ_01 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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.

gbandit Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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.

Mattoon Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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?

Wullie Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 England manager should be English imo, don't think we should go foreign again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 1 hour ago, Jaqen said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 For England that’s a good rule and encourages the development of English managers. Would be harsh on smaller associations potentially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 42 minutes ago, Wullie said: England manager should be English imo, don't think we should go foreign again. 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.

Wullie Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
