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

[One Love]

The FA will make a show of trying to get a Guardiola or a Klopp in but ultimately they've already decided on Lee Carsley.

They know he'd be unpopular with the fans so they'll call him temporary and then hope he does well and repeat what they did with Southgate.

I dont think UEFA has decided which seeding critera they will use yet? Or did I miss recent news?

If UEFA go with seeding based on Nations League (as some believe will be the case), England indeed won't be seeded. But if they in the end decide to go the traditional route (and I think they will), it will be based on FIFA World Rankings and then England will be seeded.

How the hell UEFA could possible rank nations based on the Mickey Mouse Nations league over the Euros, let alone world rankings, would be mind blowing !

Sounds like a madcap scheme. If they want Carsley it would be entirely because they back their own succession planning.

They can't pick him like a spotty teenager picking a fat girl to walk home from after a disco, with the admonition "you're not my 'real' girlfriend. Yet",

'Fattest' and 'misogynistic' words from one of our more liberal posters on NSC....He won't reply to me as I'm on 'ignore.'

Lee Carsley expected to be interim manager for Nations League. Nice to be able to tag a practical onto the job interview.

England: Lee Carsley expected to be interim manager for Nations League ties against Republic of Ireland and Finland

Lee Carsley is expected to be the interim manager of the England men's senior team when they play their Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland next month.

If you think Southgate has been a success, Carsley makes sense. He is clearly the continuity candidate.
However if you think Southgate was a failure we have to look elsewhere. Frankly the whole thing is a bit meh for me.
I’d go for Potter over Carsley

 

[Flounce]

Potter stringing Chelsea out for a little longer hopefully, kerching. Expect him to get the job when the shit upcoming tournament is done

Hope Carsley does really well and gets the job permanently. Potter will then need a career Plan B.

Exactly how Southgate got appointed, via interim manager.

 

[sparkie]

Lol.

Underwhelming.

 

[Giraffe]

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

Well I did tell you.

Very different tactician to Southgate by all accounts. Very attacking coach. Very good record with age groups too. I think they are right to give him a chance. It doesn't need to be a 'name'. Other nations have proved that.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Carsley OUT!

 

[GT49er]

Potter please. Just to pi$$ so many gnarly pundits (Talksport and Sky, I'm looking at you) who can only see multiple ECL winners and Smug Eddie as candidates exalted enough to meet their entitlement.

Well if you want to play ‘I told you so’, I suggested Carsley as the best option the day before you even posted your suggestion

(I also suggested Potter as his replacement for the U21s)

[Football] - To all the Southgate haters / wrong again and again and again **SOUTHGATE NOW RESIGNED**

I don't agree with this. I think Grealish went from a team where he was THE only creative source so one with an abundance of creativity, so he's chosen the safety first option. This has clearly vexed Pep, who went out and bought Doku to do the job Grealish was brought in for. Ergo Doku...

Potter isn't going to be the U21 manager.

They're not. I don't know why so many posters are making stuff up.

"Draw seeding will be based on the most recent FIFA rankings, which are usually released shortly after each international window has closed."

As England currently sit 4th in the FIFA rankings, they will be seeded.
