Gareth Southgate

With respect, Holland are not the Holland of old, they used to be fantastic and produced some world class players, nowhere near that level now, and again, with respect, we should be comfortably beating the Swiss, beating that level of opposition isn't being disrespectful.

That's a Holland side that France couldn't beat this tournament and a Swiss side that battered Italy and held Germany - The predicted outcome on the match day polls on here had England to lose against both these sides.
 
Hallelujah

On a serious note, he did his best, got England to some finals due to having talented players and fortunate fixtures. he's not cut out to really succeed against good managers at this level when it comes down to it, that's become a clear and obvious pattern.

If we're being realistic, the players could've managed themselves and beat the teams they did actually beat in tournaments, which were pretty much all mediocre teams. But Southgate was there, so he deserves credit too.

Good bloke but not a top manager.

Good luck to him, maybe he can manage a club and prove people wrong and if he does, fair play... but I don't see him really cutting it at a good level.

Two finals in succession can’t be sniffed at, but it’s what he did in those finals, or more so what he didn’t do. Definitely time to go.

Potter will get it, and so the cycle will continue where England win fuck the fuck all.

luck of the draw more than anything - big beast teams drawn against each other while we struggled past Cheltenham Ladies' College
 
Being a national manager is an old mans job. People may not agree but I'd be tempted to give the job to Twitcher. At least he may play some expansive football. Him and Rosie the perfect choice.
