I’m not sure Howe would like that job. He would be great with those players mind. But he likes the day to day training and he would get bored of doing nothing.
I’ve just had a sudden holy **** moment. Imagine if Howe went for the England job and we replaced him with Southgate. Shudders.
What’s more interesting is two fairly big names who’ve worked with Mitchell are both not working, Terzic and Kovac.
Will be Lee Carsley - unlike Southgate has actually won something - the u21 euros a couple years ago. Is an FA man, knows the players and is more of a winner than the previous England boss.
I work a 9-5 day with my dinner break at 12. This means I don’t get to see any news until then. A lot of people seem to have a LOT of time on their hands to post on here during a working day.
He also asked if there was anything concrete. So my answer was perfectly valid. What I’m worried about is who we replace Howe with.
The press release made by the FA stated they have a plan if they don’t appoint before September and I believe that Carsley is that plan. He would know the bulk of the players well also. And he plays Gordon. So win win.

Imagine that. Would be interesting that’s for sure. Still can’t believe that Howe would take the England job mind. But he’s from down south. Maybe his family would want to move back down there.
