I ‘almost’ feel sorry for Southgate in this tournament, the massive elephant in the room is Kane, I fully understood why GS made him captain but it’s an anchor now. He should be dropped, end of, but he can’t drop him. It needs a new broom to do that. Lampard, that’s insane, so the FA will probably do it!!

Given his managerial record, Lampard’s next appointment is surely no higher than at Championship level or below

We know that Potter takes an age working day in day out to get results and we also know that elite players don't respect him. Other than being a yes man what makes him suitable for the job?

If a Southgate England team is like watching vintage gloss paint drying in the shade, in November.

Potterball with England, for the first 8 years until they 'get it' would be like watching emulsion dry on the outside of a submarine. In the Bay of Biscay, in January.

Actually, watching them try and roller it on to the tub would be quite entertaining.

Southgate has a history of being loyal to failures.

England managers have a history of playing all the 'good' players, not a good team.

Bradley Walsh football background, and can keep the players entertained during tournaments when the players are locked up for weeks.

Got to be far better than Gerrard or Lampard.

He has to been nailed on for it. I think we'd win a major tournament with Potter in charge.

We would if there were two seasons' worth of games that he could use to get the squad to gel. I am a huge fan of Potter as a coach, I just don't think there is enough squad time for him to make it work.

We need a person with the man management skills of Southgate and the tactical intelligence of Capello. It's a shame those two lacked both components in their skills.

Need a foreign coach who can play football with flair. Unfortunately English coaches only seem to play the Safegate way and Potter was as guilty at times when at the Albion. If RDZ had the England players at his disposal then it would be ver entertaining. Poch would be a great choice.

Better to find someone who actually wants the job, rather than speculate about who will get it.

Absolutely spot on and there is the problem.

International management isn’t viewed like it used to be as successful coaches prefer working with players day in day out rather than the occasional get togethers.

Most cases these days it’s either older coaches who don’t want the day to day management and failed managers with some low level achievements on their CV.

What man management skill?

Your best defender is rejecting to play for him and the players are paralyzed with fear and negative thought every time they enter the pitch and the most commonly seen body language from the England players is "why the f*** did you do that?"

He doesn't throw people under the bus, which is good, but when key players - top players - constantly look worried, there's something wrong in the general communication.

Personally I agree with the consensus that he is a very good man manager but tactically he is useless.

For all that, it'll be interesting to see what direction this thread takes (or future threads) if he actually manages to win this tournament. For all his shortcomings he'd go down as England's best manager in the eyes of many, and actually it would be hard to argue with.

There are very few international managers who are at the peak of their careers. It seems to be unknowns or those who spectacularly lost a high profile post and are using it as a stepping stone.

Very few top level managers end up with an international side

Sky reporting he is a candidate and has applied for the Coventry job. Fair play if true, clearly willing to rebuild his reputation as a manager by stepping back down a division

He was linked to AS Roma job too but looks like they are smart enough not to hire him.

Is there a reputation to rebuild, other than as a shit manager?

Did well at derby in fairness. And you could argue he did well at Chelsea the first time around whilst under transfer embargo. Brought through Reece James, Tammy Abraham, Chalobah etc. Should never have taken the Everton job or Chelsea part 2, both were poisoned chalices

The owner announced that he'd applied at a fans forum. Sounds a bit unprofessional!
