Southgate resigns (merged)

Pep isn't interested in managing Spain, apparently, as he counts himself as Catalan rather than Spanish (read that this week somewhere). He's said in the past he'd like to manage Brazil but I think England would interest him considering the current talent, if he's ready to make the move to international football.

Catalonia will never get independence from Spain . Shame he can't show some identification for La Roja even though he counts himself as Catalan. Part of the Catalan flag is encrusted on the Spanish official emblem for one.

If you can get Pep, get Pep as he is the best manager in the world. In reality I'd be happy with either Potter or Howe. I think they'd both do pretty well.

It's odd how Dyche never gets a mention, surely he would be a more likely candidate than Lampard or Gerrard.

Dyche is like a poor man’s Allardyce isn’t he? His style of football would not suit the players in the England set up or the fans watching from what I have seen.

Pep would be great but highly unlikely, I think Howe is the next best/obvious choice, but might be too expensive to get him away from Newcastle, so then you are left with Potter or Carsley, or someone from left field.

Considering there will be many people in Catalunya (and Euskal) who were alive when their people were bombed, murdered and suppressed for 40 years, you can understand why some Catalans and Euskaldunaks might not be so keen on ‘Spain’.

I'd give Mourinho a go - knock him all you want, he's had success everywhere he's been and expects to win silverware

Southgate is now being touted as the next USA manager.

Crikey !! IF I was him i would sit down with wife and say over a pot of tea "Let's give footie a break for a while, have a damn good holiday".then come back to dining  room table another pot of  tea and think what do i really wanna do next!
Bearing in mind He is 53 /54/ 55 ?
Bloody Roy Hodgson bless him what in his 70's has only last  season released /sacked from Crystal Palace.
Please Mr Southgate DO Not become a "pundit" and lower yourself to Gary Neville's standards your better than that and you don't  need the money.

Valid point and yes Franco did  suppress Catulunya and Barcelona and had he given some leeway more so  reading books on this  more people in the past would have identified with Spain . It's a complex identity by all accounts  as there is a mixed bag currently with some Catalunyans identifying with Spain and Catalunya with differing levels of support and the independent movement (loosing popularity) who don't want nothing with Spain  and want a complete break from Spanish football. Democracy in Spain now allows for a certain level of self autonomy but if you start conceding to the "independistas" the Basques will follow and others and you will have a break up of large parts of Spain . It's somewhat similar in Italy though not as acute I feel  where there has been historically speaking a North / South divide with independent movements there as well.
