He isnt getting another cushy job like this and the FA really would prefer to keep him He's not said he's going I don't think. I think he's waiting to be begged to stay. Hopefully England flop at the Euros and the clamber to get him out commences and he walks. No other top European nation would've kept him this long. It shows nobody really gives a shit about international football in this country anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fully supportive of Southgate and his selection. Maguire, Phillips, Henderson. Perfect. I do wonder though if me being Scottish has anything to do with the fact I love Southgate being England manager As an Englishman, I think I might start supporting SJM’s Scotland instead.

It's a very good job for the next one in as you've got pretty much a decade of Saka, Foden and Bellingham plus whoever else emerges in other areas. And they'll finally call an actual left back up. And exile Maguire and Phillips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyeddie Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Southgate is the ultimate yes man. The FA knew what they were doing when they employed him. Any relative success is just a fortunate by product of their trouble free money making scheme. He is just Smithers off the Simpsons. I think he is a decent person, but a horrendous manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post theboyangel Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 The thing with Southgate is, whenever he has to comment about picking Villa players it’s rarely in a gushing, enthusiastic manner (unlike his unyielding defence of Maguire, Henderson, Mount, Phillips et al who are backed to the hilt regardless of form or game time) The recent comments about Watkins and being wary of selecting on ‘recency’ is the latest example of a negative tone towards our players. Surely it’d have been easier just to say he’s bang on form and playing in a team that’s competing well?!? But instead we get a begrudging comment on how current form isn’t a reason to pick players. I cannot wait for this guy to leave the national team set up. He’s killed all interest in the England team for me 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no bias, recent or otherwise. Ollie isn't even recency bias - he's one of the top English strikers over the last 3 and a bit seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oishiiniku_uk Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 My theory: He applied for the manager's job at Villa back in the day and didn't even get an interview. It's the only explanation for his attitude towards the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Its not an anti villa conspiracy, it's not even a top 6 bias He genuinely just thinks being in the stadium listening to the champions league theme tune gives a player more experience than playing in the PL every week and that experience is worth more than playing well, especially when you need loads of experience to play vs the postmen and pe teachers of Malta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon will no doubt get a call up eventually despite not being good enough, I'd have Barnes ahead of him and don't particularly rate Barnes either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Makes me laugh when I see him being suggested as one of the favourites for the Villa job after Emery leaves. He'd probably be even less welcome than Steve Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
