Klopp - he's as good as being English imo.

By:
You've beaten me to it 'dambuster'. Mine would have been "when will Mr Southgate resign after another failure to win a major trophy after 8 years in charge".
Klopp is 2/9 for the Germany job; Guardiola is "managed" by Saudi oil money. |

If it has to be an Englishman, who was the last English manager to win a trophy? (Trivia question)

Better off digging up Don Howe

By:
Wes...Harry Redknapp???

|
By:
Yeah, seems so - I had to Google it myself after asking the question! 2008 FA Cup.

LEE CARSLEY is the favourite to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager has emerged amid growing suggestions the under-fire boss will soon be relieved of his duties. HCIT state the FA aim to look within and promote England Under-21 manager, Lee Carsley, to the senior set-up. Carsley, 51, has rejected multiple offers to manage in senior football in favour of remaining in the England system. The national team job with the Republic of Ireland is among those Carsley has knocked back. When asked about Carsley’s links to the Irish job earlier in 2024, Southgate threw his full backing behind the U21 boss who may yet take his spot. Southgate said: “From our perspective he (Carsley) really understands the development part of his role, the fact we’re going to pinch his best players all of the time! “I’ve done the (Under-21) job and it’s not easy. But he’s done it exceptionally well, he’s got a way with players and they enjoy playing for him. “Him and his coaching team are adding to the development of those players which is fantastic for us.” HITC added the excellent connection Carsley has built up with several senior stars who shone in his Under-21 side is another major plus on his CV. Carsley took charge of the U21s in 2021 and managed the likes of Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer during his spell. Both players are now on the cusp of breaking into England’s starting eleven and can expect to play major roles for their national side over the coming years. Another tick in Carsley’s column is the fact he guided England to glory at the 2023 U21 European Championships. England won that tournament without conceding a single goal across their six matches. HITC added Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and former Chelsea manager Graham Potter are of interest to England too. However, for the time being at least it’s Lee Carsley who is the ‘frontrunner’ to replace Southgate and an early exit in the knockout rounds of Euro 2024 would only serve to accelerate that process.

Lampard on the bridle.
I don't think he'd be any good, but ticks most of the boxes |
|
By:
Manager at start of 2026 World Cup would be better market at the mo
then we could trade the waste coat. |
|
By:
Lampard? We just had 8 years of mediocrity; Lampard is a step backward!
|
|
By:
The players need to be the ones pressuring for a decent manager. They believe they are good enough and most of them know how well a good manager understands the modern game.
Lampard would be another manager who fails upwards, like Southgate, Martinez. Exactly what you don't want. |
|
By:
Martinez won Portugal the Euro. Or did he win Portugal the World Cup? He won the European Cup for Chelsea something the special one could not.

Players that pick wrong time to press for manager change tend to become ex players

Sorry 'tobermory', it was Roberto di Matteo. How the hell did I get that mixed up? Where is Matteo now?
|
|
By:
not heard of him in years, was Villa manager last time I noticed him
|
|
By:
On 4 January 2023, Di Matteo was appointed as a technical advisor to the South Korean football club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors
|
|
By:
Cheers 'tobermory'. I was never good on details at sports (betting).
|
|
By:
Ben White has made his mind up on Southgate. He should be starting RB purely for his understanding with Saka, unless you want to use Trent in his natural position.
Jeonbuk used to be perennial champs in S Korea. Now they are bottom of the league |
|
By:
Be interesting to see if Ben White makes himself available now Southgate has gone., has his backroom staff gone as well.?
|
|
By:
Has Steve Holland gone as well ?
|
|
By:
I think the Holland days are over. Just waiting for a sauce to confirm.
|
|
By:
Yes! Yes! Mr Southgate is gone!! I cannot bear to watch another of England game under Mr Southgate. He's loser in International Football.
I'm sure you're a decent guy,...not an International Football manager. All the best Mr Southgate. |

Think Pochettino might take it.
Backing him and Lampard. |

By:
Heinz must be in the shake up

By:
Lampard would be a shot in the foot for England; his managerial career at club level is pants. But, for what he was as a footballer he'd be selling 2nd-hand cars in and around Dagenham.
|
|
By:
how many games before critics turn on new manager ?
|
|
By:
it would take a MIKE BASSETT on steriods performance to lose at home to HUNGARY 4 nil with this squad and even then you wouldnt get the sack,so plenty of scope before a new man gets any flack, as eng have shown its possible to reach 2 finals, and a semi final and the best team you meet is a spanish side who were 10 to 1 to win this 5 weeks ago

Southgate's perceived biggest achievement was to eradicate the clique's within the squad and has been excessively lauded for it almost to the point where watching on it felt that it was valued almost as much as winning a tournament.
Why then would they appoint Lampard who would have been one of the big names mired within that culture and probably at risk of recreating it. |
|
By:
where is the market for this i looked on specials this am and it was not up there
|
|
By:
lampard wd be a step backwards another failed football league manager - i think not
|
|
By:
ok found it its there now. im on lee curdsley- fa will go for him i reckon
|
|
By:
cant lay lampard and hes 55.00 looks like its not going to be him
potter wd be a decent appointment as wd howe. klopp wd be amazing but cant see that happenning |
|
By:
Yes Klopp should be asked to name his price.
|
|
By:
Although in the minority here, I'd rather stick with English. It was an Englishman that brought us this far.
