At least Potter (and Lampard to a much less extent) has had some levels of success in his managerial career, unlike Southgate when he was appointed.I don't know what difference it'll make. The FA are ****ing idiots so they're bound to replace him with another boring ****er like Potter or Lampard.
So has Rodgers.At least Potter (and Lampard to a much less extent) has had some levels of success in his managerial career, unlike Southgate when he was appointed.
So has Rodgers.
He's also the kind of **** they'd employ.
Me too. Makes it all the worse that he's almost certainly the FA's first choice.Reckon Brendog would do a better job than Potter.
…. though he assembled a squad who outshone the previous Golden Generation(Becks, Scholesy, Stevie and that useless exChelsea twonk off the telly etc), it only achieved a couple of silvers . Maybe some time in the future go one better.His record of achievement as manager for England, is bloody good.
However, he’s left the feeling, we could have achieved more.
I see Mo Po is one of those on the supposed list.
Never get rid of Kane, if that happens!
Thank you Gareth, but …….
I don't buy it. Look at the teams he went out of tournaments to compared to those before him. It's too simple to say he got to two finals, he was playing minnows for the most part. We also lost a final to one of the worst Italian sides ever; a team who couldn't manage to qualify for the WC two years later.Did a decent job to be fair. Decision to move on is the right one. It needs new eyeballs on it.
We've had managers fail to even get us to tournaments, let alone get to finals. We've also had managers resign in disgrace. We've certainly had many managers do less with arguably more.I don't buy it. Look at the teams he went out of tournaments to compared to those before him.

He blew golden opportunities because he refused to play any kind of offensive football. That would be okay if you had the best defence in the world but our best players are our attacking footballers whose strengths were largely ignored. Add to that the ludicrous decisions to leave Palmer on the bench, persist with Kane and have no runners at all on the pitch for hours, plus the bizzare choice to sit back when you equalise and are in the ascendancy instead of going for the win, and it all just smacks of incompetence.
A different, braver manager with a more attacking mindset and we are the proud owners of two Euro trophies in a row.
Completely agree.We've had managers fail to even get us to tournaments, let alone get to finals. We've also had managers resign in disgrace. We've certainly had many managers do less with arguably more.
I'm not saying he's without fault, he isn't and his football was at times infuriating and he was woefully short on the tactical end against top opposition.
I believe he can leave the job knowing he's leaving it a lot better than he found it.
That's different to doing a decent job. He's done a pretty shitty job of it considering what he has at his disposal. It's just that we've set the bar so low with even shittier managers that anything above losing the Iceland looks like an achievement.We've had managers fail to even get us to tournaments, let alone get to finals.
