So wide of the mark, Potter can pick his own squad and not have it picked for him, he will pick the right personalities and balance, he is a winner and has had enough time to reflect on Chelsea.
He also knows what pressure is like. Maybe some are still just vindictive about him, he didn't hurt us at all, he just improved us by a country mile compared to the what Chris was capable of.

I hope he can remember what to do after 18 months on the sofa with his boots going mouldy.

Glasner, continue the Palace procession.



Wouldn’t it piss off their fans.

 

[Taybha]

Perfect job for Eddie Who
He will take it and tow the company line and his lickspittle chum will join him as a ramped up Bobby Bouchet type assistant,I think he'd do rather well as it happens.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Klopp

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Only one man for the job!

The great Alan Latchley

Southgate has resigned, so who do we want as the next England manager?

Klopp

Make it happen

If it could be Klopp, that would be my choice too, but Rob Dorsett on Sky saying one member of FA panel is a big fan and supporter of Pochetino.

I dont think it can be Tuchel, even though hes interested. He may be a winner, but I think he's wrong personality type and the team cohesion thing is massive and should be maintained.

Smug, Potter or Carsley?

The more I read about Carsley yesterday, after pretty much knowing nothing managerially, he could actually be pretty decent?, a very deep thinker and other coaches stating how tactically advanced he is, plus a lot more positive approach.

Potter I'm sure could be a tactical upgrade on Southgate, and would make better in game decisions, but I'm not sure he could handle the pressure, nor would he get a particularly long honeymoon period. He looked like a rabbit in headlights at Chelsea, and in interviews looked totally out of his depth.
The pressure of the England job is levels higher, is it beyond him? The ideal candidate would probably be Southgates ambassador / PR role and Potters coaching, but they both have the opposite strength and weakness.

That leaves Smug, he is tactically astute, young, hardworking and probably could deal with the pressure better than Potter.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

This is the FA we are talking about not anyone with a clue what they are doing. Lee Carsley is on his way.

is the correct answer. I did read that he tends to take an attacking approach so all is not lost

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

I admit I enjoyed his failure at Chelsea after they completely filleted us when he left, but I don't bear him any grudges now. I just don't believe he has the chops for a job this big, it would chew him up. He'd still be picking most if not all of our gilded superstars, he can't just pick a team of "nice blokes" now can he.

As for him being a winner - sorry, what has he won ?

He done well in Sweden he took us to a different level and style that No Brighton fan had ever experienced, he got his decision wrong when going to Chelsea probably why he didnt go for Ajax, he has learned what not to do, but I would hazard a guess he would be fully motivated to take on the England job.

I don't think he will pick nice blokes, I think he will pick ones that do care and listen to what is asked of them, he demands respect which is key.

Southgate got the England job with next to nothing in experience to Southgate 190 games as manager, so he was pretty green let's say.
Potter has managed at all levels internationally and done 466 games to date.
He has had adequate rest to regain full focus and he is English, on paper he has to be the perfect choice, doesn't he?

If the assumption is Potter wants to return to management (he has no need financially to ever work again) then I think that he has apparantly turned down so many jobs both here and in Europe for there not to be something big bubbling away behind the scenes. Southgate was always likley to leave after this Euros so I am of the opinion the FA have already said to GP, hang fire, your in line for when GS leaves.

I dont think the FA will go for a non English manager again, and of the English candidates the only likley ones are Smug Eddie or GP. Lampard, Rooney, simply have not delivered at club level in ny meaningful way. Steve Cooper possibly but again he hasnt set the Prem alight

The FA may surprise us and go for a dynamic attack minded manager willing to take risks-but that would be very unlike them

 

[Insel affe]

Potter favourite 7/4

I have zero trust in the FA to be honest, and can see Potter, Carsley or even Gerrard.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Cant remember who it was but someone with connections to Klopp suggested on a euro 2024 discussion that Klopp would never be interested in the England job

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Dont think the FA have tapped up Potter as its widely reported that they wanted GS to stay on

 

[HeaviestTed]

Southgate just quit, thank god.

 

[Blue3]

We have had some really awful England Managers Capello, P Taylor, G Taylor, Revie, Greenwood,keegan,McClaren, Hoddle, Hodgson, Allerdice, in fact we have only had one successful manager ie actually won something Sir Alf we had a few quite successful managers Southgate, Venables, B Robson plus Erickson who really should have done better with the talent available.

Southgate leaving means statistically we are likely to enter a period of uncertainty I can genuinely think of an English manager who would be good enough and after Erickson and Capello I thought we would never risk that conflict of interests again so the names I have are Eddie Howe, Steve Cooper, Sean Dyche, Graham Potter all of whom in my opinion are not right for the job.

Southgate had plenty of experience at Boro who he got relegated, but far more importantly than Potters rise with a small club in a Mickey Mouse league, is Southgate was in the FA since 2011, five years as a coach and U21 manager, knowing the culture, the way things work, St Georges Park etc. Potter doesnt have any of that. Southgate was more qualified for International management in 2016, than Potter is in 2024.

Hurzeler - done a great job at Brighton.

Hoddle should be nowhere near that list, most players of that generation say he was the very best tactical coach they worked under and could see things nobody else could, he lost his job not because he was a poor coach/manager, but by crazy quack comments about faith healing

Poch is not a bad option, but I'd prefer Klopp.

I dont think it can be Tuchel, even though hes interested. He may be a winner, but I think he's wrong personality type and the team cohesion thing is massive and should be maintained.

Absolutely no to Tuchel. As you say, the team spirit has to be maintained.

Smug, Potter or Carsley?

The more I read about Carsley yesterday, after pretty much knowing nothing managerially, he could actually be pretty decent?, a very deep thinker and other coaches stating how tactically advanced he is, plus a lot more positive approach.

I don't know enough about Carsley. Potter would be an improvement on Gareth. Same with Smug, but he's under contract.

But my preference, by a distance, is Klopp. Excellent with players, excellent with the media, good tactically, and knows the English game and players.
