Lost interest in England ages ago - as I took the just over 2/1 for an Italy win I was half watching while doing other stuff.

Didn't even know we were playing Germany on Monday until I saw it mentioned on here.

It’s too late to change, the two managers you would want in Howe/Potter are gone and won’t be interested in England.

It would be far from ideal, but a Caretaker Manager is probably the only hope we'd have of some sort of success.

Let's face facts, it couldn't be any worse than what we've seen over the last 5 games.

Only thankful I missed the first 30 mins. What a load of crap. Southgate really is a tool

Less than 2 months till a World Cup. Southgate isn't getting sacked. Maguire, Shaw etc will be playing.

I don't like it much, but will be getting behind them all when it all kicks off in November

Get Sean Dyche or Scott Parker in .....or Potter....

I don't think the FA can afford to buy out Potter's contract at Chelsea? Not sure a young and (probably) upwardly mobile young manager would want the jon anyway - it's more a nice job to hand to an older experienced manager for his final hurrah.
Seriously, if the press hadn't set him up, the likes of Big Sam would have been perfect. Up for retirement relatively soon anyway with a career behind him (like Bobby Robson or Terry Venables for example) - and would have got the same - or probably better - out of the group of players at his disposal. A failed Moddlesbrough manager who wears a tie and talks nice ain't the answer.

How long does it take for Southgate to realise that this ain't working?

Never

Please forget about the Potter and England link.

Covered in detail in the Telegraph this week, it was the FA’s plan. Then completely outflanked by $$$$$$$$$$Boehly, Potter only has vision for that project (and McLaren dealers), absolutely no interest in the England job.

Good chance he may not be in a job by December if he doesn’t hit the ground running though…..

Yes, he's stupid enough to risk Chelsea but not as stupid as all that.
