    Pochettino is the new USA manager. Now for England to get Pep.

    Interim. Would be ****ing stupid to go down the same route as they did with Southgate.

    Which he probably will in the league and with the squad he has. Which is…hmm. Feel like we missed a trick with Poch.

    What are games against Finland and Ireland going to prove though? That we can beat up the smaller nations. Shock horror. If the FA make him manager based on those two games they need their heads testing.

    I'm hoping we didn't go for him because the FA have got their eyes firmly set on Pep.

    See I don't want Pep. Think he'd struggle to translate his club success to international football personally. Completely different kettle of fish.

    I don't. Especially with a squad full of superstars like England.

    Yeah but he relies on a lot of time on the training ground to get his teams playing the way he wants and he won't get that. Look how poor City were in his first season.

    His biggest strength is also league campaigns rather than cup tournaments...

    Not for me.

    Yeah I’m with you on that. I really wanted Poch. Think he’d be excellent with this group.

    They are going all out because they are hosting the next World Cup. It’s their real chance to try and give the sport another boost in the country

    It’s the same difference for the purposes of the exposure they will hope to get. And I expect they have the final

    Think they have the final and opening game. Silly to have it across 3 countries really.

    I believe they're meant to have some decent young players coming through too so be interesting how Poch does with them.

    He should get it full time, Southgate was a huge success in his tenure so they should go down the same route of someone in house.
