Bloody ridiculous that the resignation of Southgate and who might replace him is the lead article on the BBC 6pm news. Far more important things happening in the U.K. and the World.

BBC “news”.  Have they got the bbc “verified” squad on the case yet?

 
Will be interesting to see who the FA choose. Previously they have shied away from anyone controversial or who wouldn’t tow the company line. The job is as much a PR one as coaching the national team. Ideally any international team would be led by national by birth though as others have alluded to there is a dirth of homegrown talent, Howe or Carsley possibly the standout candidates. Maybe they’ll turn to a foreigner again, though as good a candidate as they are, I just don’t see a German or Argie being hired. Could they make a play for Pep in 12months …would his intense coaching work at international level given the limited amount of  time he would have with the squad? 
Whoever gets the job will have big expectations thrust upon them. A World Cup in the Americas, where European teams have a very poor record followed by a home Euros. 

 
Someone mentioned Jose and Terry!

Got an image of them entering the fa, Jose poking everyone in the eye and Terry with a rambo head band kicking balls in ppls faces. Yeah from Southgate to mourinho maybe a step too far. Lol

Can just see them going for Eddie Howe who seems to tick all the FA boxes and then Newcastle appointing Poch as replacement.

Think I would prefer Howe to a "Johnny Foreigner". Never sits quite right with me - a non-national coaching the national team.

OMG, i just had to turn off Talksport, the pair of clowns on there - Hugh Woozencroft and Lianne Sanderson, Hugh is calling for Southgate to get a knighthood, and Lianne calling for Klopp or Pep to get the England job.

I had to switch from BBC 1 match commentary to ITV with Ally McCoist, the BBC had some idiot with every sentence being hperbole.

Howe could get it, still the manager of Newcastle and would remind me of Hoddle leaving Chelsea to take up the role.

 
Time is relatively short. Suspect they will kick the can down the road and go with Lee Carsley as interim manager. Just as Southgate was appointed interim in the wake of the pint of white wine.

Makes complete sense. And if Carsley makes a fist of it then keep him in the job.

Agree. Give him half a dozen friendliest, see how things pan out.

Think he’s worth giving a shot for half a dozen games or so. If that hasn’t worked out we might have been able to convince one of the ‘ big beasts” to give it a wallop- I’m not talking Howe or Potter- low order of probability but you never know your luck in a big city…
