I don't think Howe is particularly suited to international management. That's not a criticism, it's just a totally different job. 

 

One of the biggest reasons for Howe's success is how fit he's managed to make the players. You can't have that kind of impact in international management. Another factor behind his success is working with individual players to improve their tactical understanding. Again, you do not get time to do this in international football.

 

You basically have to be a politician who gets the media and public onside. It's preferable to be a good tactician who can change games (which is largely where Southgate has fallen down and why he hasn't won a tournament), but I feel like it's not essential to doing well.

The England job isn’t a top tier job anymore.

 

Just look who currently has it for evidence.  I’ve got absolutely zero concern that Howe will take it, it doesn’t suit his style of management.

 

Bruce would love it with all of the time off it brings.

Agree it doesn’t suit Howes obsessive style with all the time off. 
 

Disagree that’s it’s not a top (international) job though, look at the playing talent at Englands disposal. To the right manager at the right time it would absolutely appeal as a top tier job, it’s one of if not the best international squad in the world right now.

I think the FA sees Howe as the perfect manager to succeed Southgate.

 

Fortunately for us, he's a workaholic, and couldn't sit around doing nothing between  friendlies and the odd qualifier.

Aye, it's not a job for a young manager like Howe, it also has the potential to ruin your career early.

 

Southgate's got the job & is delighted to be in it as he isn't getting a better one. He's a smoggy level manager which no top half Prem club would go near.

Maybe when he's in his late-50s/60s but I doubt he'd want that job yet. Even after us he'll have 2-3 very good jobs at club level available to him.

Frankly I'm hoping that after us he just retires due to old age.

He is the person who brings everything together, we have owners who are bought into the club, and some great players with good characters but it basically all hinges on Eddie pulling the major strings. Hope he’s here still in 2033

I've just finished watching the second half of his press conference. I found that very emotional.

 

I just wish I was half the man that Eddie is. I really mean that.

A truly humble and inspiring human being. Our manager!! ♥️
