Smal Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 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.

Wilson Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Time will tell but I'm hoping his love for moulding players and getting to work on the training pitch day in day out will keep him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Sima said: 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.

Kid Icarus Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 FWIW Howe has said a few times that the England job is the ultimate job. I don't think he'd take it at the moment though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 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.

Scoot Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Didn't Howe say not long ago that he likes the day to day stuff club management brings and that you don't get that with international football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Yep, no chance Eddie takes that on at his age! I think they might have to foreign as the lack of good English coaches is staggering or promote Carsley like they did with Southgate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 There isn't a single player in the squad I don't love. Each one of them is either gifted beyond belief and/or a huge-hearted performer. They're all deservedly part of this unbelievable era that's just getting started. And it's all thanks to this man.
