But no current England one (at Men's senior level)
If GP takes over in October, which may well be the case, I feel it would open up for a lot of Brighton players. Even someone like Danny Welbeck could get another look in. Potter likes having a few olden ultra professionals in his squads.
This is true. But he is better than slabhead who keeps on getting picked despite him being a one-man disaster zone
We also didn't. Chivers has Maltese relatives, but never did play for them.
I know you're a GP superfan, so I hope you take this as a genuine question.
Certainly possible, but way too early to call that. Dunk's been left out of the latest squad, that's all.
It took so long for the scales of Maguire to fall from Southgate's eyes. Unfortunately (from an England and personal perspective) Maguire got to the point where he was simply unpickable even for Southgate, and at that point only did Dunk start to get a look in, even though he had been performing better than Maguire for a good 18-24 months previous to that point. Had Dunk been playing for Chelsea or Tottenham during that period he'd have earned another 15-20 caps, easily.
Some English media wrote about Chelsea paying him up until October so it could be something connected to that.
I genuinely can't see the FA thinking it's fine that they don't have the manager they want because he needs to be paid in full by Chelsea. Southgate reportedly paid £100k a week as England manager so you'd imagine it wouldn't be such a devastating drop for Potter.
I think the FA are in no hurry and happy to give Lee Carsley a chance. He would be the cheapest option and did well with the U21. Downside is that he's kind of already in the mix - he probably knows a lot of players and vice versa, its not a "fresh start" (no Ben White for instance) like it would be with someone from the outside.
I think Everton are far more likely to appoint a young, open-minded coach who will provide an opportunity for their academy players to flourish.
