New deal for Southgate?

[Teejay]

I'm in the minority but I quite like the bloke.

Not at all, just the quiet majority who aren’t reactive, hysterical and analyse every word said and every decision made. Southgate is the best manager england have for donkeys and people who think the squad we have now is better than those of the last 30years are completely deluded.

 

[Shambo]

Quite happy if he stays on tbh

The biggest myth in football.

Getting to a final isn't a myth, its fact.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Potter & Howe would become the top two favourites for the job. I would rather keep Southgate, I think we will go close in the euros.

Klopp imo. Good English and has been managing in the country for a long time.

Not sure whether he’d want it though, but it wouldn’t be as strenuous as club management.

 

[FlashGordon]

It feels like it's time to go in a new direction after the Euros (though I don't see us appointing someone other than Potter, Howe or Cooper).

People forget just how bad things were before Southgate came in though. Not just underachieving on the pitch, but a circus off it. Players were in their club cliques and there were divides in the squad, favourites being picked was far more prevalent than it is these days and the media was constantly looking for an excuse to undermine anyone associated with the national team. Southgate has helped create a united and high performance culture. He's responsible for 40% of all knockout wins that England have ever achieved. Underachievement from fans is now considered to be losing a final or semi final. The tournament before Southgate, we lost to Iceland. In 2014 we went out in the group to Costa Rica and Uruguay.

Many of those "World Class" players that Southgate is now supposedly misusing, he helped to develop in the first place. When many fans wanted Pickford, Stones, Sterling etc. dropped, Southgate gave them his confidence. He was selecting Rashford and Saka when fans wanted Sancho. When fans were still talking about Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alli, they were giving Southgate stick over his midfield selection "what does Declan Rice actually do" etc. Fortunately for fans, we're always able to just give a comment on the present and forget exactly how we got here.

Surely not!

The bloke that travels to Amsterdam to watch 33 year old Jordan Henderson play instead of going to games where multiple potential players are playing in.

He's had his chance and not won anything, time for a change.

nee way

Too defensive for me. I hate it when he plays two holding midfielders in games we are expected to have a lot of the ball.

I think his record is 8 or 9 defensive players shoe horned into a starting 11. Loves a defender does Southgate.

 

[Serusaleet]

God almighty, thats absolutely tragic if true.

I can just imagine how big the trophy cabinet is full of ‘nearly won’ trophies

 

[Spartan]

Ridiculous to do so before the tournament. Proper jobs for the boys at this stage.

It's not like he'll be mobbed with offers. He's was unemployed before Sam got the bullet and tbf he's exceeded expectations since.

Better than never getting out of the last 16 to start with, or worse, not getting going to the euros.

 

[Marco]

Imagine wasting Bellingham, Foden and Kane’s last few prime years on this bloke

I mean Jude is about 12 but I get your point

 

[Hettonlass]

Man U are looking at him as an option if they sack Ten Hag

And the fella from Brentford,and Jim thinks that'll fix it..

And the fella from Brentford,and Jim thinks that'll fix it..

They keep making the same mistake, Man U fans won't be happy with Southgate's boring play

 

[Big Jeff]

His record reads...won F*** all with probably the best squad England has ever had...

What about the “Golden Generation”

Becks, Lamps, Gerrardsy, Coley, Big Al,

Greatest players in the world weren’t they?

 

[BarnesPark]

Man U are looking at him as an option if they sack Ten Hag

Can’t be. I read on here

1. He is 100% going to Saudi

2. He is 100% going to me the Mags next manager

3. He is not good enough to get a job in the Premier League

 

[JL1985]

Potter will get the Man Utd job.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Imagine the meltdown if Southgate goes to Man United

I would probably say todays England squad is better compared with other teams around the world...
