Too far to commute from Hove

I wouldn't want to work with Henderson either

If he thought Chelsea fans were impatient, Ajax fans are a different breed. He wouldn't last 3 months there.

On the Man United short list?

Imagine deciding between Southgate and Potter!

England I reckon.

He's waiting for something. He's been promised a job I reckon.

Clearly been told to keep himself available for the England job in the summer

Surely he's done nothing to deserve that job? Mind you, there's something quite Southgate about him.

Tactically he's streets ahead of Southgate. What hes probably not as good at is getting the respect of the England egos though.

you mean he is a tw@t ?

Those pressers for Chelsea...he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. He'd struggle with the scrutiny and pressure of it all.

Yeah, there's probably some truth in that. At least Southgate had personal experience of two aspects of tournament football: he knew what it was like to be a member of a Finals squad and never play a single minute, and of course he knows what it's like to miss a penalty in a penalty shootout. (And of course he was good enough to be picked by England in the first place). England players with similar experiences knew that he understood and appreciated what they were going through because he'd been in their shoes.

I'm not sure sucking your teeth and saying "It is what it is" is going to carry the same amount of respect, regardless of any Emotional Intelligence qualifications.

Ben white will play for him though !

 

[AnotherArch]

They have far too much history for him. They would be giving Potter the lesson.

Yep. It could work I guess, Southgate has done the hard work on that, and has done a brilliant job with it. His problem is he is nowhere near the level of top Premier league managers tactically. Potter is.

 

[Mellotron]

There is something very "The FA" about Graham Potter. Can absolutely imagine him as England manager.
