You don't have t worry about that mate, English players are men not little boys who need a big man hug to make them feel good.
Yep, it's what commited players do when they let people down. Bet Klopps lot never shed a tear when Peps men beat them to the title all the time. Couldn't give a ****.
I'd go all-in for Ancelloti. Hugely experienced, knows the PL/English football and is an expert in managing tournament football, which as others have mentioned does require a different approach to the 38-game marathons. I look at the current crop of players and think they'd flourish under someone like Ancelloti. Probably won't leave Madrid for at least another year but I'd sooner wait for someone of his calibre than rush into hiring someone like Graham Potter just because he was born in Solihull. Emery probably Plan B. Wouldn't say no to Klopp. No one else really interests me.
One of the biggest footballing injustices was that Brian Clough never got the England job ... just the type of character (and visionary) we need now ...
To be fair to Fosse. Lane hasn’t looked the same player since his loan at Leicester….all downhill for him.
Well it's evident we didn't need him to win the 2 top trophies in Brtish football ... ... oops I did it again ...
Don't disagree but a) none of those managers would come and b) when we get to the final and lose 2-1 to the best team in the tournament everyone will hail Ancelotti for getting a bunch of tired and misfiring players so close. I'm pretty concerned that the best manager who I think would say yes is Eddie Howe. He's a very FA appointment.
Eddie Howe would be such a vanilla appointment. Boring middle of the road and wouldn't get any more out of these players than Southgate. I know folk scoff at Klopp taking the job, but why not. It's a part time job essentially and he would be the sort of personality that would inspire this squad.
Current odds for next manager. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/england/next-permanent-manager Gerrard out at 50/1 along with current England ladies coach Weigman. Looks like punters fancy Potter, Howe and Carsley
I don't think Klopp would take it. I also don't think it's the right fit, personally. Say what we will about Southgate, but that long term consistency in the managerial position is key to us getting a tournament over the line, especially with all the young players coming through. It's a 6-8 year post. Klopp's not going to buy into that - I don't think many foreign coaches would. It'll end up being Carsley or Eddie Howe, IMO.
Klopp could take a short term view, 2 years to WC and when he doesn’t win/if he doesn’t win….well it’s just England and then he will be refreshed for a club job
TBF, you began before the tournament having a spat with others on here over Kane. I got the impression that in some ways you wanted England to fail because it justified your comments on Kane.
