Fuck me, Carsley's actually in there? I joked that he had an outside chance the other day [emoji38]

The FA will look at how it's worked out for Southgate and I've got no doubts they'll be considering the same about Carsley. He's actually won something managing his England team remember.

Tbf, I'm all for successful u21 coaches at NT stepping up at senior level. They'll bring experience of the role and of course 1st hand knowledge of the next generation of talent. This is how it should be.

Bearzot and Scaloni are the only WC winning managers I can think of who managed one of the international youth teams before stepping up to be the full international team manager.  There’s not really a track record of this being a successful model.

This was going to be my question.

Managers who won it as players have a more successful track record.  Maybe we should appoint Geoff Hurst while he’s still with us

Alternatively only 1/14 England managers who werent international youth managers went on to win the World Cup for us. Obviously Southgate currently fails on your point.

Steve Cooper would be the best choice, the sooner the better and dispose of Southgate 

He’s Welsh [emoji38]

If only it had worked out as well as literally every other manager in history bar one.

We're smashing pretty much every side not considered elite, as we should, but we're still struggling when we come up against anyone decent. I'd say he's done an average job at best. Still seeing the odd weirdly shit performance though, a really poor nations league campaign last time round...

Then there's the Brazil and Belgium games more recently. We were flat against both, never in the game against Brazil, they spaffed so many chances it could have been 5 or 6 nil. We let Youri Tielemans boss the game when we played Belgium. He's relying on "a bit of fret" from some of the best players in the world when we play the better sides rather than controlling the game with any tactical nouse.

Yep, I just don’t think that there is a ‘correct’ way to select a manager.  Other than them being good.

If only every other manager in history had faced an international field as sparsely populated with top sides as it is currently.  Other than France, there isn’t a single international side from a major football nation which looks anything like its past self.  Argentina, Brazil, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy - not one is of a particularly great vintage.  Relatively speaking, England is stronger than it’s ever been.  If this side wins nothing given what it is up against, Southgate goes down as a failure.

Would be mightily surprised if it wasn't Carsley. Cheap, grateful, and wouldn't kick off.

Yep, the FA love a yes man.  It’s the same crusty old Etonian types who’ve been there since its inception - they don’t want to be challenged.

Spent years working with the England setup. Not sure him being Welsh should rule him out?

If you ain’t sure then you are slightly naive to how he’d be treat by England fans and the press. Cant see anyone from the British Isles managing England. I could be wrong (and I’d like to think I was wrong) but just can’t see him being a popular choice for the main gig.
