Gareth Southgate

Success, maybe. Fun? Hmmm

I don’t think we were really any better or worse as a team than we were under Eriksson, we’ve just had more favourable draws and a better penalty record under Southgate

You could argue that the Southgate era has overall been a success, only result wise, his style of football has been very poor, but Sven's side massively underachieved just because he had so many really good players. So judging what is classed as success is a really low bar.

Whether or not a woman coach could manage the men's national team and understand the differences between the two levels of the sport could be debated all day long.

What isn't up for discussion is the enormous pressure she would be under from all angles and from day one.

If coaching was as simple as getting a message across, I could supposedly manage England because I coached Longhill Ravens for 11 years and they generally followed my instructions and we punched above our weight for around 8 of those years.

That would be one of the reasons why the FA might appoint a woman, nobody would be allowed to criticise :)

Imagine? Euros qualifiers, England 1 Luxembourg 3. Nobody allowed to question the management of the team for fear of being called a misogynist.
