You could be right. But multiple generations of players and coaches would all have had to have had this mentality.

And remember we're talking about players who have had massive success in English football, which has always been a highly competitive domestic league. And these England teams were led by players who have been victorious in European football. Robson, Adams, Gerrard, Cole, Walker. There's no shortage of obvious winning mentality players in the last 50 years

I don't really buy they just put on and England shirt and lost their winning mentality.

It's much more likely to me that on a relative handful of occasions they came out on the wrong side of some fine margins against teams who also have proven winners and proven quality players on their side (Other times, we've stuffed it up, as has every other top tier nation). I think the, "we're mentally weak" argument discredits the other nations, and their players and achievements and discounts the massive dollop of luck you need to do well in knockout football.
Good points. Either way you fall on this, I can’t get excited about international football generally nowadays outside of major tournaments which I devour. I’m all Albion, all the time

There are actually five British managers in the PL (Smug Eddie, Dyche, Martin, Cooper and McKenna - although only three English ones). Plenty of choice
The FA aren't going to buy out a Premier League manager. It is going to be someone unemployed.

Impossible to say if he would be a good or bad appointment. International football is almost an entirely different sport to manage in compared to club football. Look at the experience of the last managers to win the euros and world cup as well as the England manager who made 2 finals.

I like his VIBE and I can see him being a hype man and giving some freedom to play but other than that I can't come on here and say "disaster" like many would love to do. It seems disliking England or international football seems to be a thing people enjoy telling others about.

At this point I'd be shocked if Potter isn't offered the job.

I liked the analogy on TS earlier - he's like the kid in the classroom who always has his hand up, with the teacher ignoring him and asking 'Anyone else?'

Nah, Tuchel indicates they are going in the opposite direction. Its McClaren into Capello all over again. "Probably lost because we had a nice English manager so lets appoint an angry foreign dickhead".

Tommy Tootle is an absolute pointy-faced drama queen.

It could be hilario.

Just wait till he's told he cannot pick Timo Werner. :lolol:

Fans: "Southgate is boring and isn't a winner. We need someone who will take the handbrake off and has a track record of winning things".

The FA: "Here's a manager who won the CL with a non-fancied team, has managed big players and has won league titles and cups in differing countries whilst wanting his teams to play attacking football?"

Fans: "Well we didn't mean THAT one"

We are close to a world where Donald Trump is running the US, Thomas Tuchel in England Manager and one of Jenrick or Badenoch is leader of the opposition. F*cking hell!!! What next??the sunlit upland utopia we’ve all been
Looks like the sunlit upland utopia we’ve all been promised is finally here.

so not Potter then, despite so many certain it was?

there's a certain logic here: Southgate was widely disliked as manager but got us to a couple of finals. go out further on the dislike scale and it's a sure thing we'll win something right?
