Southgate resigns (merged)

Southgate’s team selection and strategy:-

Kane always plays, other 10 must be yes men and always get a game no matter how bad they were in the previous games.

Subs only need to be 10% fit because there’s no chance of being put on before the 81st minute.

No passing the ball forward

No marking wingers, absolutely not allowed

No staying up for free-kicks or corners for the opposition, having an ‘out’ ball isn’t an option.

In summary, yet another England manager who never won anything as a club manager, are we surprised he never did anything with England apart from stagger uninspiringly into the knock out stages?


Let’s appoint a winner, not another yes man

Who are you thinking then?

Roy Evans?
Brian Little?
McLaren for a second crack?

I'd say there was quite a lot of inspiration 3 years ago when we got to the final and half the country thought it was cool to dress like Gareth Southgate. The fact that we view getting to a final as a failure is because Southgate changed us from being massive underachievers to a team that could pull results out when it mattered.

As far as I'm concerned, England have never had the best starting 11 in any tournament in my life. Getting to the final is success. It would be lovely to actually win it some time, but I'd say there's more chance of the next manager being less successful than Gareth than there is of us actually winning a trophy.

I don’t understand your reply, was it an attempt at humour?
