Hes a good guy southgate but someone yesterday on here summed him perfectly. Will get loads of draws that will eventually lead to relegation. Not the right man. Even hus hand claps in the technical area geeing up players lack conviction. A massive no for me.
That not really how England played under him,........also Sterling and Rashford were dumped for the recent euros
Southgate can be mocked for a few things but what you say makes no sense at all
It's also hilariously dumb because if you're going to want to stick by a coach to "change" the way ENIC operate (which will never happen anyway but let's do fiction) then you throw absolute support behind a Conte, not an Ange. Ange hasn't said a word against this board. He has repeatedly praised us in the transfer market. He is marching to ENIC's tune because he doesn't have the pedigree to risk standing against them, this guy is the absolute worst candidate if you want to go board vs coach.
But the sheer single mindedness of it is very Ange so I'll give his loyalists credit for that. Ultimately I dislike ENIC and do believe there is a ceiling for our coaches which we will likely never smash through under them. But Ange is in the fucking basement, we're atrocious. Case by case basis lads, if there is a coach worth sticking by I'll do it ... this donkey can't beat Ipswich at home, can't look a journalist in the eye and has us losing 3 more than Dyche's Everton.
He's absolutely diabolical. And he has no past history worth throwing faith behind, its all success that absolutely was never going to be close to having a guarantee of translating to Premier League success, no matter what the fuckwits said. 12th place at Christmas with Newcastle, Woolwich and Goodison on the horizon is terrifyingly shit and would be under-performance if bloody Mike Ashley was at the helm.
I swear some people check for Southgate under their bed. Afraid of the club to do anything in case the boogeyman of Southgate is going to get you.
Hiring Southgate would not make changing this manager the wrong decision. It would just mean that we've followed up a good decision with an utterly gormless one. Which we've done before in fairness.
But, in all honesty I'm not sure I see Southgate managing anyone anytime soon, let alone us. I think he's even said that he wants to take some time out and do some other things.

7 or 8th in the championship maybe? Give your head an absolute wobble. You support Tottenham Hotspur, not Stoke City.
Not read past the first few lines of this but at some point you have to just back the manager to the tilt. Many couldn't do that under Conte and look where it's got the club. Now's your chance to do so again before we fall further again to all of this BS. You not realising that is what's "hilariously dumb" my friend.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Jordan Henderson”.
No you fucking wouldn't you big liar
Oooofff!!!
Take that!..
Top put down.
How many have they had in the last 5 years?
Yeh it was many times when we used Sterling and Rashford not saying it wasn’t effective but it was pretty basic in set up.
On loan with an option to buy
Yeah keep backing Ange otherwise we could fall REALLY far. Like as low as 12th in the table with a tough fixture run coming up..
Oh fucking wait.
Honestly, I'll back a manager to the hilt who deserves to be backed to the hilt. Conte had all the qualifications and was/is a hugely competent individual but NEVER wanted to be at Tottenham regardless of owners so it was an exercise in futility. Ange is out of his depth. I don't need to back any out of his depth person for a role by default.
The fact that Palmer wasn’t the first name on the team sheet at the euros tells you everything you need to know about Southgate, the guy probably puts a condom on to have a wank just to be on the safe side.
Basic would actually be fine right now. Fuck off the philosophy as we're in a dogfight and focus on winning 3 points every week and take it game by game. Get some sort of organisation back that protects the backline, nothing wrong with lobbing some balls forward for Solanke now and again either.
We are in an absolute state so back to basics is likely what a competent coach will do mid-season. Southgate is never coming here so not sure why people are worried about it anyway, he's essentially a politician now.
Southgate started early days playing sit deep defend then pass to Kane who puts Rashford and Sterling in. It worked well for a good period. When he started using Foden and Palmer more technical intricate players his system didn’t work so well. Sterling gets laughed at but he creates havoc and disruption. Sterling and Rashford are great for teams who sit and counter into space.
Problem is we tried that with the grand master Jose Mourinho, we tried it with Nuno and it didn’t work. Jose and Nuno are arguably better managers but it doesn’t fit our club.
Tbh in euro 2024 we had enough quality in squad to limp to the final. The entire tournament we looked devoid of ideas under southgate. Thats what would worry me if we had southgate as our manager....devoid of ideas.
