Other nations are happy to give the job to youth coaches with no top level managerial experience. Argentina and Spain have both just won major tournaments off the back of doing that.
Truthfully none of the English candidates are particularly exciting. We simply don't produce particularly good coaches in this country.
If you are playing well in games and dominate teams, you are much more likely to win. You play poorly game, after game, after game, your are more likely to lose.
What we were doing all tournament long, was getting a goal and then defending deep, thus constantly giving the ball back to the opposition.
We so nearly through it away on more than one occasion.
When we scored, we had the opportunity to hammer home the advantage and didn't
With respect, I hope the FA aren’t serious about this. I don’t think she’s ever coached in the men’s game at all.
I agree about the nations league but you didn't before , all recent euro winners have won a nations leagueThat’s such a low resolution way of looking at it. Revisit the last 5 world cups and the teams that won it did so in the nitty gritty - even the great 2010 Spain team won most games 1-0. Brazil in 2002 was probably the last team to be a juggernaut in the tournament. The France manager who won the World Cup in 1998 fell out with the media after negative coverage and after he won it, refused to speak to L’Equipe again because of it.
Man City dominate teams regularly in UCL matches, how many have they won under Pep?
Of all the non-English managers linked, Tuchel would be best option and he’s not well known for possessional football and dominating teams.
A lot of people are going to be disappointed if they think we’re going to turn into prime Brazil post-Southgate. Qualifiers and friendly results mean nothing, we’ve got to go out and start winning Nations League top teams and at major tournaments.
I don’t think much will change. If anything I think performances will slightly improve but we’ll fail to get as far in tournaments then people call the manager an FA yes man and clamour for him to be sacked in favour of a fantasy successor that doesn’t actually exist anywhere but their heads that will magically win everything playing like prime Brazil.That’s such a low resolution way of looking at it.

In of itself, it’s not important. The reason I’m interested in it is because we need to get confidence in beating the best teams in the world. We need to build those winning habits against Spain, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany and so on.I agree about the nations league but you didn't before , all recent euro winners have won a nations league
Including the Germany team that scored 7 in a semi final?That’s such a low resolution way of looking at it.

Then we should keep Gareth forever then , because he's the best manager in the worldI don’t think much will change.

No one is saying that but clearly a new manager has a benchmark to better
And we should strive to be better , because he's had 4 tournaments and really any manager less cautious would probably have took us to atleast 1 title
When Linekar and Micah Richards suggest Klopp and Pep, you just know people aren’t being reasonable in their expectations.I don’t think much will change.

We shall see. Personally I think if we go for Howe or Potter it will be a case of careful what you wish for
Howe has 3 promotions under his belt and got Newcastle into the champions league spots .. he's a far superior manager to Gareth southgate
The next manager will have to figure out how to play Palmer, Foden, Saka, Bellingham and Kane together. That’s not even mentioning the likes of Gordon, Eze, Rashford, Grealish and an array of upcoming talent at our disposal.
Maybe we should approach Morocco for their manager because he's elite , he got morroco to a world cup semi final .. like Gareth..So was Graham Taylor
No because club managers are not as good as u21 managersWhat about Mancini? Has managed big players and won the league at Man City - and has won an international tournament as manager
Drew to Ghana in the group stage and need extra time to beat Algeria in the R16. Were solid against the USA, France and scored a late in extra time to win the final. Go through the match stats, they had 3 shots on target v France and 5 in 120m v Argentina. It’s not much more than what we v Netherlands and Spain.Including the Germany team that scored 7 in a semi final?
They did also put 4 past Portugal that tournament. I doubt their total non penalty xG was 6, anyway and it was also of course done on a continent which had never seen a European winner up to that point.Drew to Ghana in the group stage and need extra time to beat Algeria in the R16.

That 7-1 v Brazil was just one of those freak results. They had 10 shots on target and scored 7 goals. Brazil had more shots in total than them.
That Germany team was so well balanced. Great defensively, great at set pieces and could control games with possession and also be direct. Their defensive record won them the tournament.
That in itself is the biggest issue for me. Playing all of them gets the best from none of them. But you have to have bollocks the size of watermelons to leave one or two out.

Gareth’s preference was to cling on for dear life for penalties in all the knockout games. It was rightfully punished.
Only one team was trying to win in extra time against the Swiss. The telling thing against Spain was how we only made earnest attempts to score once we went behind. As soon as we equalised we reverted to sitting deep and hoping for the referee’s whistle. Then true to form we found some legs when they scored again.With 6 shots on target and Portugal had a red card at 2-0.
We didn’t cling on for penalties, that’s ridiculous. Only Switzerland went to penalties and we were pushing for a winner before penalties. Likewise, against Spain, most of their big chances were when they caught us on the counter. That’s when they really cut us open.
I think we will go back to being a last 16 or Quarter Finals at best team.We shall see. Personally I think if we go for Howe or Potter it will be a case of careful what you wish for
But for Bellingham in the last seconds we were a last 16 team.I think we will go back to being a last 16 or Quarter Finals at best team.

I will grant you though that he wasn’t playing for penalties against Slovakia-he was playing to protect their 1-0 lead.
If your nan had wheels she’d have been a bike, what’s your point?But for Bellingham in the last seconds we were a last 16 team.
It was a tournament largely consisting of us getting away with poor to very poor performances and then losing to an actually strong side. So really, that we got rumbled in the final as opposed to a quarter final isn’t of much significance.If your nan had wheels she’d have been a bike, what’s your point?
