Surprised

He said on ‘The Rest is Football’: “This will be Gareth Southgate’s last tournament, I think, whatever happens. If he wins, I think he’ll absolutely bow out.

“And if he doesn’t then I think he’ll bow out. It’ll be his decision. But I wouldn’t disregard Frank Lampard. I think he tactically gets it. I think the players will respect him immediately. I’m getting ahead of things here.

“I think he’s been a bit unlucky in his managerial career in some ways. I think he gets it tactically.”

Never! Unless Mr Lineker leaves the BBC (saving the corporation mega bucks) to become Mr Lampard's assistant.

Linekar just wants a pleasant, well spoken, articulate guy in charge, like Safegate, last thing he wants is a Clough/Redknapp type representing the country, they talk about 'getting it tactically', it's obvioulsy bollox.
Report brentford July 10, 2024 5:38 PM BST
not sure Clough's approach would fair very well these days..

Unless the money on offer tempts a decent foreign coach (history suggests this doesn't solve much) the English/British options are quite limited to say the least..

Rather have an English manager; no conspiracy theories then. In fact, like the players, it should be a rule.
Report mesmerised July 10, 2024 5:43 PM BST
don't agree with that, the likes of Georgia this year and Greece 2004 would never have got as far as they did without foreign managers, it's the only way they can progress.

I expect Eddie Howe would be offered it first.

Would he turn it down? Newcastle is a good job, but a precarious one perhaps.

Though the ownership has stuck with him after a down season already.

If he turned down England and then got sacked in December he might regret it.

Frank Lampard, LaughLaughLaugh
I'd rather have Frank Spencer as next Manager

If England or indeed any international team, just opt for a manager from the home country, it's just restricting options. Better to go for the best out there.

Eddie Howe would be my choice, but doubt he'd leave Newcastle

Don't see Howe taking it personally..
great opportunity at Newcastle..England would need to appoint before he'd be in range of the sack as well I'd have thought.

Thoughts are Howe would be allowed to go
if offered England job.

I doubt Lampard would be in running to replace him,
but you never know.

Lampard talked a lot of sense about our current tactical set-up and how players are just not doing what they do for their clubs. Whether he could manage it is another story.
Report raspberrybottom July 10, 2024 5:59 PM BST
Lampard probably got the makings of a very good manager.

I said at the time that he should have stayed at Derby for at least a few more seasons - was learning the ropes there and doing well.

Obviously couldn't resist the Chelsea job (homecoming hero and all that) but was on a hiding to nothing there.

Not an obvious England candidate - not sure what's next for him myself.

Anybody can manage them so long as they get a good
coach to work with, and no shortage of candidates there.

Lampard looks a safe pair of hands.
Report mesmerised July 10, 2024 6:47 PM BST
people are actually advocating this, how about a proven winner like Klopp who plays good football, not a failed Premier League manager who's mates with everyone in the media to get the same easy ride Safegate has gotten, he's done nothing in his career to warrant the job, lots of people talk a good game, he's yet to prove he can manage one.

He wouldn't get a Premier League job let alone the England job, only a Championship club would come in for him atm

I'd love klopp, but can you see him taking the job?

Getting them running around to his style
of intensive pressing would be good to see...

England job needs a certain type of manager and person.

Someone with a lot of outside interests, golf, gardening, reading, politics maybe.

Cos what the hell are they going to do with the rest of their time?

Players run through brick walls for Klopp, he'd suit England, he's have Chilwell playing Robertson's role, Trent on the other side, Rice and Mainoo in the McCallistair and Szoboszla roles, Bowen for Salah and Eze for Diaz.

The prestige of international management has declined a lot last 15 years.

Could not get a Klopp calibre manager.
Report mesmerised July 10, 2024 7:26 PM BST
The FA couldn't give him the same salary he was on at Liverpool, that much is true, but then who can, unless he fancies the desert and I can't see that stimulating him.
