@henrywinter When our next manager is incautious and we fail to qualify for the next World Cup, will you be praising new manager's incautiousness and saying at least he/she wasn't as cautious as that Southgate chap who got us to two euro finals, a WC semi and QF in four attempts?

Right decision by Gareth Southgate to leave. Too cautious with a very good collection of players. But now is the time to celebrate what he's achieved: took the fear out off the shirt, rebuilt relations with fans, got players loving reporting again, worked on penalty process...🙌

@henrywinter Lee Carsley. Job done

There is a general acceptance now that Gareth Southgate has taken England as far as he can, and that a finisher is required. But who? For the past two years, the obvious three potential successors debated on this timeline have been Eddie Howe and Graham Potter, if the FA goes English, or Mauricio Pochettino, if the FA acknowledges that St George’s Park is not developing sufficient English managerial talent – yet - and/or it is not finding the pathway into elite club level (where foreign owners often go foreign coach and the talent is obvious). Potter is admired at the FA, but will the Chelsea failure count against him, and how will the players respond? Howe, a more obvious choice, was linked with the England job in 2016 when Roy Hodgson left, is popular, plays good football, but would he leave Newcastle United now? Pochettino is available, has a good track record of working with young English players (at Southampton and Spurs), plays good football, and very popular with players, staff and media. My choice fwiw: Eddie Howe.

I can tell from the numbers of the previous megathreads that I'm about at my limit for reach on here. Pretty much everyone who follows me will have seen this and many helped. But I need all of you to help. It's OK to be skint, but a share is free - gofundme.com/f/76armr-alfre…

@BondHack They are definitely the same person. Carter Burke also renowned for not being consistently candid

@debtnerd It even looks like Sam!

I, for one, can sleep a little easier now that the man who is trying to scan every retina in the world has been reinstated at his increasingly powerful artificial intelligence venture, and the people with concerns about the threat to humanity from this technology have been ousted

#MCFC fans @WeAre1894 sent statement ⬇️ to @WeAreTheFSA highlighting concerns about kickoff times, especially for fans facing long journeys after games at Wembley. (FA moved Comm Shield from 5.30pm to 4pm because of belated “full consideration of transport challenges” for fans.)

@NorthernWrites You know the answer 💰💰💰

@henrywinter This sort of nonsense helps no one. We’ve got a good team which Southgate has previously overachieved with.

It’s Berlin or bust for Southgate, then. July 14, 2024. Euro 2024 final. Southgate has to show he has the in-game management skills to guide England past sides of substance in a tournament. He has to win the Euros. No excuses. He has an outstanding squad. First stop, Naples. #ENG
