Southgate might as well be given the chance

Neil Woods could win that qualifying group before going out in the first/second round so does it even matter?

Quoted from promotion plaice

England were embarrassed at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil, exiting the competition in the group stages after defeats to Italy and Uruguay, and then suffered humiliation at Euro 2016 after being dumped out of the tournament in France by minnows Iceland.

But could it have been a different story for England had they accepted the call from a certain Pep Guardiola in 2012?

The Catalan coach had just entered into a 12-month sabbatical following four exhausting years as the head coach of Barcelona but was apparently interested in the prospect of becoming England manager - for some reason.

Clough all over again


Both of them would have failed. Guardiola is a club manager, needs day to day contact with players and at that time had absolutely no experience of England or English players. Still hasn't got a lot.. Clough needed the day to day too but his big gob would have got him the sack very fast anyway.

I think so too and they will be wrong. He's too soft. He's grown up in the caring "man management" mould, been on all the right courses, puts his arm round the shoulder .......

We need a bar steward. That's one reason I'm disappointed in Allardyce. I did think he had that quality about him of making players grown up and take responsibility. We need someone to do that and tell the little prima donnas what's what. "Play as well for me as you do for your club or you are out ..... hear me Sterling?"

Do you really think that will work with todays multi millionaire prima donna's?

International football for England is dead, players clearly dont care and more and more fans have the same attitude. Many of here are only interested in Town and it is the same around the country.

Add the ruling bodies inability to have any degree of control and that is why (IMO )

You mean the man who single handedly demolished the umbrella manufacturing industry?

On the plus side - nobody will offer a bung to someone who has nothing to offer in return.

It does not matter who gets the job,

Its the players who can not perform at  the finals that's the problem.

We will win the next 3 easy games then draw with Spain,

So Southgate will get the job.
