Potter is tactically nothing like SouthgateI'm in two minds. I'm naturally inclined to a young Englishman as I think it's important that they have a good bond with the players. However Southgate has done a great job generating the desire to pl;ay for England and therefore what we really now need is the icing on the cake of someone who is tactically more astute than Southgate. I think Klopp ticks that box very well so I'd not be adverse.
I'd probably list my favourites in this order:
Klopp
Howe (if he can not be smug about it)
Er, now struggling.
In a way Potter would be ideal (very much an FA man), but not sure he could cope with the pressure and I fear he is too Southgate like in his tactical approach.

I don’t think he would be interested - the question is who do we want ? I have a whole list of things I want that I have no realistic chance of gettingWhat makes people think Klopp would even be interested? Would he not prefer to wait for the Germany position to open up? He’s been in England for nearly 10 years so he’ll know what the English media is like and I thought part of the reason he left Liverpool is that he needed a rest after such a high pressure job so I’m not sure he would want the stress of being England manager.
In that case I’ll have a Ferrari, a Rolex , a yacht, a private jet, a mansion in the country with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, steam room, sauna and cinema.I don’t think he would be interested - the question is who do we want ?
