The English media will champion it too over more qualified managers His ego wont let him near the under 21s The only good thing about it will that he wont be able to hide his level of shitness anymore on this kind of role. If he was smart he would go for u21s less pressure and usually leads to good career opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I would be absolutely amazed if the FA were to actually consider him as a candidate tbh. Its not like he even has the temperament for the job like Southgate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 He probably would be considered ahead of Smith or Dyche, but that's more to do with how unsuitable they are and I don't think he'll be considered. It should be abundantly obvious to even people who take minimal notice of actual football matters that a] he hasn't succeeded at a job in England, b] he doesn't coach players or take training sessions regularly, and c] he prefers a formation which would remove England's strengths and accentuate our weaknesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 If the alternative is Gerrard it's better to keep Southgate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 So Steven, no Bellingham today. What's the thinking behind that? "Yeahhhhh of course. Listen, when Jude looks me in the eye and shows that he's ready to play, he'll get opportunities." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Tough to gauge who is actually a better manager out of Gerrard and Southgate. Neither can coach at all, so it's all on man management and motivation. Gerrard seems a total bellend who turns players against himself and each other. Southgate it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With England you don't need to do much technical coaching - the players are all brilliant. Just have a game plan. Bruce falls short here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I can’t stand Southgate, he didn’t take us backwards 2 years in 1 year, and he doesn’t act like he’s some Demi-god because of his playing ability. He’s a clearing in the woods, but he’s a humble clearing in the woods. Southgate wins, no contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Neill was interviewed for the job in 2006 so being Northern Irish hasn't been a problem in the past for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Can he run training sessions of a suitably high intensity? If it's standard Premier League intensity it won't work. You'll have players like Grealish turn up and have no trouble making the grade.
