England need to be very careful now. Very careful. The national side has the risk of losing touch with the general public completely - some people would argue they already have. We need a young, fresh, passionate manager that is relatable and not an FA yes man that is coming to the back end of his career. Howe would be #1 for me, offer him a big long contract and just stick with him regardless of anything. Failing that, Southgate would be up there, although i worry the fact he's held a position within the FA for such a long period of time may have just made him another piece of the furniture. It'll be Padrew though, same old crap

Fundamentally, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because some of the top managers in world football (Sven, Capello) haven't managed to get anything out of English players for the simple reason they're not good enough.
English players exist inside a comfort zone that means they're never tested in challenging environments and never challenge themselves in anything other than the English league, where they can be made to look good by world-class foreign imports. They grow up lacking in basic skills and are poorly coached. Many of them are emotionally and intellectually defective and so are unable to process and implement basic instructions and systems, in contrast to intelligent foreign players who can often speak multiple languages and adapt to changing situations.
So with that said, we might as well advertise the role at £250,000 a year, and see who applies. The number and identities of the applicants will tell you all you need to know about English football.

To be honest it doesnt matter - we have a system designed for us to fail. No winter break, accademies that fail to produce top draw players, too many foreign players, the list is endless.
Id go Lampard just because he is incredibly bright.

Really. Did anyone actually see that game tonight. Imo we have decent players that have great potential but playing for a management that
A) didnt know its best 11
B) didn't know its best formation
C) making too many changes therefore damaging player confidence and momentum
D) picking players that were not match sharp and not played all season , Henderson, Sturridge and Wiltshire but get ahead of those that are fit.
E) on form.players not even getting a nod such as Drinkwater, Noble

I don't know where the idea that we've got a load of incredibly talented players comes from.
Talented players perform well when the chips are down. Ours fall to pieces.
The goalkeeper is always liable to chuck one in, none of the defenders looked competent tonight, less said about the non-existent midfield the better and the forwards couldn't pass, shoot, run, or head. We had about 2 men in the box when Rashford went on a couple of decent runs at the death which is just ridiculous. If you didn't know the score, you'd guess we were winning and trying to hold on to a lead by not bothering to press forward.
As for potential managers, I've not seen anything in Southgate that indicates he's anything more than competent at best. Gary Neville has been mentioned - a jest, surely?
No really proven English managers so where do we go? Not a clue. The job really is a poisoned chalice these days. A great way to ruin your reputation.

Why don't we scrap the England manager position, and simply pick the captain of the team - and then leave it to him to choose the guys he wants around him? As soon as we lose an international we select another captain. Can't trust the clowns at the FA to decide the captaincy, though, it'll have to be done by knowledgeable football folk - so I would have thought a referendum of Fishy posters would be the ideal solution. (Probably too controversial?) Anyway, not to worry, I think Steve Evans is still available....
