Mate, Southgate could barely win football games with the best team in Europe. England have been terrible under him the last 4 years, regardless of where we got to in three tournaments. We got there through mostly having far superior players to most teams we played.... and he still struggled more than not and got tactically outsmarted by so so many coaches its unreal.

I would rather puke on my balls than see him.manage us

Did was I was just about there.

My preferences have been stated repeatedly.

  1. Iraola
  2. Silva
  3. Frank
  4. Mason until the end of the season
  5. Potter
  6. Southgate on a 6 month contract that renews if we win the EL and fucks him off if we don't.
 
With a few hours’ distance, I do feel for the guy - clearly out of his depth and dealt a tricky hand. However, for the sake of our club, we have to get a more skilled coach in.

This is his ‘big ticket’ and it’s not worked out. He’s not like Mourinho, Conte - they could do what they wanted.

I thought Southgate had retired from football.

Although that may just be wishful thinking.

If you actually analyse Ange's appointment from a distance, it's fucking weird. He's never managed in an elite league and doesn't work with a consistent coaching staff, so he's assembling a team of novice coaches from scratch to help him compete at the highest level. It's bizarre.

It worked out well at Celtic because well, they are Celtic playing in the Scottish league. And Celtic keep a in house coaching staff that whoever is coach just supplements.

Said before I am just about onside with Southgate if the contract was structured right. Namely directly incentivizing him to win the Europa League, so a 6 month contract that automatically renews for a further 2 years if we win the Europa League and are not relegated. Otherwise the club have an option, but not an obligation, to renew and can walk away for free if we so choose.

I think we'd be shite with Southgate, but if he won the EL that's all that would matter. Winning the EL is paramount at this point. Unlikely, but it's the most important thing we can do (and always was, but has only grown moreso).

Bonkers. Never happening

Its incredible given that apparently one of the reasons they rightly didnt want Ten Hag in June 2021 was that he didnt want to bring any coaches with him and they thought that was weird. Then this bloke turns up with a few randoms he's picked up at motorway service srations on the way down and we're all over it. I guess that proves first and foremost he's a salesman, not a coach.

One of the reasons for us not going for Ten Hag was apparently that he did not impress in the interviews. Which Ange probably did because as you said, he's a salesman.

At this point I'd honestly consider giving Ten Hag a go because surely he cannot do worse?

I am pretty similar tbf but would have a 0 after Southgates number.

Not even any comedy value with him. Just a drybread with the personality and tactical nous of a pube.

Levy is not the best. But levy certainly didn’t build a squad that’s lower mid table.

Any squad missing players like Vicario, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Davies, Bentancur, Odobert, Richarlison for significant portions of the season, with Solanke, Bissouma and Johnson also now joining the injury list, would not finish top 8.

Ange is just the latest manager to fail. Levy is the constant reason all managers fail.
