FA confirm Southgate will stay on until after Euro 2024 (p 101)

Bielsa can’t speak a word of English.

He would be perfect..

Neither can our captain, to be fair.

That was kinda my point Seb! :-)

Klopp would be awesome but can't see it. Maybe Poch?

Wouldn't want Bielsa.

Potter/Howe would be the safe options.

Gerrard/Lampard surely not.

Potch is an intriguing choice. Kane would love him.

I was hoping Kane would be retired from international football by the next major tournament

Kane is finished on that stage

He's done a brilliant job, notably giving young kids a chance, keeping the spirit and harmony within the squad and taking us so far in Euros/WC but i think 4 tournaments is long enough and a fresh start with a new manager should be the way forward - Not that the next manager will please everyone and they'll face the same criticism and abuse Southgate gets.

Not if the new choice has any semblance of personality, bravery and tactical acumen.

Then they'll be slated for different reasons, 'why is so and so not in squad' 'doesnt know how to use the subs' 'clear the players aren't playing for him' etc etc

only time a manager will get a break is if they win the trophy.

I suspect most football supporters watch football in order to be entertained - a concept Southgate clearly doesn't agree with or understand.

I didn't expect you to agree btw.

A brilliant job would be winning something not playing awful football and not winning anything surely?
