So…. Who do you think?
I was behind Southgate for yours, but Damn, is that it? *sighs.
Who’s is going to take us to where these players deserve to be.
Who can get some enthusiasm, some passion, some fight, some desire?

It’s a genuine question, who’d want the job?
We’re so desperate to win, we’ll cling to a blade of grass and convince ourselves we’re a great side.
Jude’s goal changes nothing in terms of the performance, embarrassing! |

These players are better than this against Slovakia. A win on record does not reflect the result and score. We created f all against a crap team that made us look crapper.
And above is r wrong. You can easily follow this! All you need to do is play exciting football. I’ve not got off my seat for 4 games this tournament.
4 mins of something to cheer about. End of the 90mins and start of the extra time. Otherwise, we are awe full.

Honestly, I didn’t. I’d have been content to see the loss. |

Ancelotti would be an absolute coup.
The biggest issue with international football is you can't but a playet in when you have gaps.
Plus limited time to mould a shape.
Graham Potter would have two ex swans as manager. So I'm in. |

No. A scary result against a team you should be turning over speaks volumes to where you are. Simply not good enough to beat a team you HAVE to. I came into this tournament, knowing(or imagining) that France is the team to beat. But we seem to struggle against anybody. And I don’t think it’s a players I simply think it’s the coach. When you have players, not pushing forward when they always push forward for their club and people are wondering why. I genuinely think it’s because they’ve been told to do a job. And that message just come from the manager.
A good coach and a good team are going to tear us apart |

We definitely need Southgate out before the next tournament, this team should be shining and their not

Someone who can take the shackles off and play to our strengths. We have some fantastic players but absolutely no clue how to manage them and get players running through walls.
There is not one ounce in excitement him how we play - we have scraped by in every game and that’s not good enough.
I’m quite embarrassed that we are still in the competition.
Southgate hasn’t got the balls or man management to enhance this team.
I would love someone like Klopp as he gets the best out of players.

Southgate has run out of ideas, only taking one left back and he was injured, no width to the left hand side whole tournament why wasn’t Gordon playing who will take players on and get to the byline. Foden and Tripper always come inside easy to defend against. Playing all your best players dosent make a good team, and why leave it so late to make subs, the guy dosent know how to change things when not going his way so not tacticaly aware |

Klopp would not be good for England. Massively overrated. Fluked a CL with late goals and comeback wins. Won the prem by switching from 3 to 5 subs and faking covid outbreaks to postpone matches
Plus he's a cockwomble |

"Was so much better watching England during the Keegan/McLaren/Capello/Hodgeso years "
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We didn't even qualify for the Euros under McClaren, the Capello World Cup was genuinely awful drawing to USA and Algeria and we were knocked out the 2014 WC group stage and knocked out by Iceland in 2016. Not saying Southgate is amazing, but they weren't really the halcyon days |

I don’t agree with the majority of that. But he is a massive cockwomble. My main worry is that he’d drop my boy Pickford. |

In all honesty, is there an English manager out there that's capable of making the England team one of the best teams in the world..
You have the players, no questions about that...
Southgate got the job because you all cried out for an English manager after foreign ones couldn't hack it either.
I'm so happy you have Southgate lol |

Were you listening to me in the pub?
Although I think Foden should be playing, just make him the 10 and Bellingham the 6 then you can put Gordon or Eze on the left. |

"I’d give the job to Gordon Brittas. "
Good call, or David Brent 
Sven, Stuart Pearce, Roy hodgson, Sam allardyce before Gareth....
The premiership is believed to be the best league in the world, thanks to the foreign managers lol
Leeds 1989.... Last time an English manager won the top division...
Canny mind his name |

I'd give it to an AI manager.
It would be able to analyse every player, their strengths and weakness, the pitch, and so much detail.
Players wear headpieces.
Forward with possession is coming in to kick, "Keeper Left". Forward kicks and ball sails past the Keeper's left. Goal !
The AI had analysed all that Keeper's historic save attempts and data showed the Keeper failed to save more attempts on his left than right. So it fed appropriate data to the Forward.
.
The strategic and also tactical experience would be elevated considerably. It doesn't replace skill either...it supports and enhances it. |

Honestly, I don’t believe that anyone has a decent memory. Can anyone remember a manager that has scaled heights or got so close as Southgate has? How he was lauded and praised after Russia and Euro 21?
Ffs. Every team that has won tournaments has struggled (France vs Paraguay ‘98 anyone?) I may well eat my words but ten years ago, I would have bitten anyone’s hand off for a WC semi, a Euro final and for the bar to be set so high that we’re marking ourselves against the elite teams, realistically.
We’ve broken so many hoodoos; penalty loses, beating top tier opposition in knockout matches and found ways to drag wins from poor performances. Just take the win!! I know that I will. |

I'm not gloating, I'm just saying...
We have our own problems and it annoys me that our so called supporters are calling for our manager to be sacked after guiding us to 2 back to back tournaments after being In The wilderness since 1998..
Sickens me actually, 180000 glory hunters feeling entitled to be world beaters when we over achieved to even be there.
The other 20000 are the supporters who go to most away games when they can |

Can't believe our fans want to replace Stevie Clarke with David Moyes...
If Stevie left and Davie wanted the job then fair enough but don't sack Stevie for Davie....
He done brilliant for west ham but the football on display was pathetic |

"Gary nevile , stevie g , klopp, frank lampard , alan shearer, are all capable "
I'd love to see Klopp as England manager. At least we'd play some football. It's such a shame as we actually have some decent players and few with real ability. There's no need to play so defensively.
I'm afraid I can't agree with rest of the suggestions though. Neville  . Stevie G maybe in the future. |

"Eddie Howe? "
That’s actually a very very good shout. Because if Newcastle actually get to the Heights they could, I don’t think they’ll keep him on. And he’s English., and that goes a long way to a lot of England fans.

I think Pep is the best manager out there who would get England playing good football but I think the only national job he will take on is the Spain one.Perhaps Roberto Martinez , Roberto Mancini , Carlo Ancelotti could be persuaded but I think it will end up been Eddie Howe or Lee Carsley that will end up getting the job. |

About 3 feet away from the fence |
Does anyone really care about the nationality of the manager in 2024?
Because if you do, you should acknowledge that you aren't getting the best person for the job in that case.
The best English candidate is probably Graham Potter.
I personally think he's better than Eddie Howe...but hardly inspiring, is it..
People suggesting Harry Redknapp when he's nearly 80 years old says it all. |

"Sarina Wiegman"
I would say that as well - look at what she's achieved in women's football, and give her the next two years (and maybe the world cup) to get the mens team playing as they should... The women's teams have male managers, so why can't the men's team shave female managers?!
Think of the way it would open the game up for female managers too, not only on international stage, but in domestic leagues as well.
Let her run/manage both the women's and men's teams too if possible, and obviously the media spotlight would be absolutely immense... Be a brave person at the FA if they did appoint her though |

Giver her the u21s and see how she does maybe. She wouldnt take it though. Southgate wasnt a good club manager but did well with u21s. I think she would struggle with the increased apeed and strength to know how to get the best out of the players. Womens game has a lot more time to think and make choices than mens game |
