Pep for me.
He wins things.

PLEASE - Not Lampard or Gerrard.
No from me. Am sure over Southgate tenure was a supporter of how team was set up

The England job is a lot more enticing than the US job. But if he said he wants a break, fair enough.

Check that out….World Cup winners and their manager‘s nationality.
My first thought on that was that we definitely don't want the next manager to be English, since all but one of the successful managers have been from elsewhere.

The foreign managers we have had have all been under achieving duds
Whereas the English managers have all been... oh hang on.
I'm starting to think the nationality, or indeed the identity, of the manager isn't the main problem.
Maybe we should appoint one of those tribal fertility symbols like the one Father Ted gets given by that Cuban priest in one episode.
Like this thing.

I’ve gone for Howe.
Messes Newcastle up at the start of the season with the bonus of Potter not getting it.

I get the point about patience, although with England it doesn't really matter until we get to a tournament. Most of our 'competitive games are qualifiers mainly against very poor opposition which we are always going to win and win comfortably. Yeah there is the 'nations league' which is basically friendly games rebranded as being competitive which doesn't carry much weight. Lets face it if GP gets the gig nearly all of his games will be very winnable and thus low pressure, the pressure only gets really ramped up once a tournament starts.

Lampard is a strange one. He always comes across as very knowledgeable and articulate when talking football, but that certainly hasn't been reflected in his results, although tbf he could plead mitigating circumstances at Everton and his second spell at Chelsea. Maybe away from the day to day minutiae of managing a PL club he might thrive. I would imagine the FA might at least interview him as part of the 'process.'

If it inspires your players then yes. Yes it does.

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
I'm now going with Lee Carsley with Southgate upstairs (after a nice long holiday). Nice and safe by the FA but with, you know, a bit of potential, actually. Certainly more so than Lampard and Gerrard. Can't see Howe leaving his first "big" club yet. Potter would be ok but a bigger risk, an unknown to most of the players. The FA won't go foreign imo.
Isn't "who do we think will get the job" a different question to this poll?
Seeing as he's generally accepted as one of, if not THE best manager in the world, I'm surprised at how few have voted for Pep (it won't happen of course)

You make it sound like that was a decade ago.
But that's . . . . rubbishWhereas the English managers have all been... oh hang on.

It's foot like shape will shurely inspire our players to score more goals.
