Has an Englishman ever turned the job down ? im not sure anyone ever has and i dont think anyone ever will. Anyway early start up the A1 in the morning maybe i'll try and tap Howe up eh ?....beg him ? bribe him ? threaten him ?
-
The fact Jack Grealish is willing to sit on the bench for England when he'll be picking up League/Fa Cup/Champions League medals for City probably shows what an honour it is. Representing your country is still the epitome of the game mate any player will say the same.....why would it be any different for managers.
-
Graham Potter is free. Lee Carsley would be a natural caretaker manager if Southgate walked so he's free. Do either of them tickle my fancy no not particularly but id kiss their feet if it meant getting shot of big nose !
-
Because its the highest honour in the English game.
-
So keeping in mind that post tournament means possibly the best current striker in world football will be past his best for the following tournament,do you think its too late for this one and we'll just be left with the usual post competition " oh well next time " feelings ?......we havent had an opportunity like this before and may never have it again i genuinely think its a now or never scenario.
-
You ? Me ? ....literally anyone with a bit of competitive spirit will do. Heres a fact someone told me the other night i wasnt aware of......no English manager has ever won the Premier League ! f**k it pay Pep whatever he wants.
-
Lets have it right....every name so far mentioned has a better cv than Southgate has ever had.
-
Again, im sure you'd acknowledge its under slightly different circs
-
My hatred for Southgate aside ....do you think its too late to bring in a replacement for him before the Euro's ? Personally i think it could be just what this squad needs......some sort of organised chaos with a " just let them go and play " attitude rather than the rigid formations and set structures of Southgate......almost like letting boisterous youngsters loose to run wild.......like you said earlier the off pitch stuff is all disciplined and together now so just let them go out and get after teams kill or be killed.
-
Or..... Moyse fielding bang average players has won a trophy.....compared to.... Southgate fielding world class players has won nothing. Depends how you're looking at it i suppose.
-
Again,intricate tactics are not my thing but its what Southgate played against Brazil and what he'll resort to any time he feels danger.....for me its just a basic lack of sporting courage it would be like Mike Tyson trying to win on the jab.....no,commit to your own strengths.....be mindful of whats coming back but dont let it dictate your whole game. You're absolute right we are now producing the type of players we always wanted.......who'd of thought it eh !
-
Im just finished with Southgate mate i cant stand the sight of him anymore and getting all bitter and twisted about the cxxt you'll have to excuse me !!
-
Not sure i follow what you're getting at mate......unless of course you think West Ham have under achieved lately ?
-
Thats my whole issue mate.....Southgate doesnt learn from these things and will do exactly the same the next time and the next time.
-
It was the age old battle of youth & energy versus experience and guile.......like you say they take pride in their defensive ability yet we did the hard part scored and battered them for the first 35 minutes all we had to do was continue taking their ageing legs but what did we do....sit back and let the old boys play the game at the pace they wanted to.......Southgate was gutless that day and we deserved what we got.
-
England world class player =5+ West Ham world class players = 0 Slight difference mate.
-
Surely the fact that Foden didnt have a touch in the opposition box for 90 minutes is concerning....all the attacking talent we have is being stifled by a manager thats terrified of getting hit on the counter,hence the 2 defensive midfielders it offers us no real commitment to anything creative Southgate shits his pants at the thought of playing an attacking middle of Bellingham/Rice/Maddison i wouldnt even be surprised if he plays Rice/Henderson at the Euros......the likes of Pep/Klopp have the same issues to deal with but they deal with them by being brave,something we can now afford to do o
-
I never get too tactical as having never played the game properly i dont have a right to think i can out think an international coach but what i do understand is basic sporting mentality and competitive spirit so as an ex sportsman i just cant understand his decision making with the weapons he has at his disposal....to me Southgate lacks the qualities it takes to be a winner in sport.....he has a team there that any Premier League manager would dream of having,im convinced that if you gave this side to any of the top 10 Premier League managers they would win major tournaments. An internat

There you go fantastic.....in times of adversity it takes guts and character to stand up for your own......good on the man.
-
I say this to people all the time mate,you cant have all your battles and confrontations through the back door sometimes however uncomfortable it might be you just have to back yourself in a head to head its like the whole taking the knee thing.....your view was that people should stop going to football,my view was to go to football and make as much f****n noise as possible showing your displeasure,which many of us did to the point the tv started editing the sound out !.....your " stay at home " view would not have even been noticed ! The voting thing,yes use your vote,do what you can....
-
Might trot along to the O2 at the weekend for this Wardley v Clark fight i think it could be a good little dust up,British title fights are always good meaningful fights id rather watch them than most of whats going on at world level these days.....looks a good athlete Wardley be interesting to see how far he can go,his posh little accent and smiley demeanour tickles me
-
Again,how was multi culturalism ever going to work when you have different groups with totally different basic standards trying to crack on under the same roof,so to speak......its just an unrealistic expectation.
-
Thats absolutely right this " well just dont buy them " or " dont go then " will work on small businesses but its not going to make a blind bit of difference to government funded charities or multinational corporations.
-
Im done with Southgate i think he should of gone after the World Cup.....to me it will be an absolute disaster if we dont win a major tournament with this current squad of players,we know being a yes man is the only thing that got him the job in the first place as he'd done nothing as a coach other than take Boro down....but if our FA care as much about football as they do about politics they'll get a proven top coach in and pay him whatever he wants to get the best from this squad. My Hammers set up to play negative football for good reasons and i get it.....but England have a side full

Used to have a mattress in the back of a van when we was young.....wasnt for that reason though
