[Football] Who do you want to be England manager?

[Giraffe]

Interesting that Lee Carsely has only got 3.0% of the vote. Seems like a very likely outcome to me.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Pep for me.

He wins things.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

PLEASE - Not Lampard or Gerrard.

No from me. Am sure over Southgate tenure was a supporter of how team was set up

Oliver Glasner would be a fun appointment...

 

[Triggaaar]

Didn’t he reject the USA job a few days ago? He wants a managerial break now

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.

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.

 

[Cornwallboy]

Ok perhaps I've worded it wrong, what I meant was it took a long time for it to be successful consistently. You have to admit there were times when we had to be very patient with Potter as the style of football wasn't bringing results. You don't get that sort of patience with England and Chelsea

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.'

 

[Easy 10]

Whats the use of it? Does it win you games?

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

 

[herecomesaregular]

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)

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Potter has been out of the game since April 2023

You make it sound like that was a decade ago.

But that's . . . . rubbish
