May as well be Southgate (if he accepts) as the WC group is easy enough to progress through whoever is the manager.

Long term, I'd like Arsène Wenger to be the England manager.

Two massive stretches the of the truth in one post there. 1) Burnley are a bigger club. 2) He failed (of any kind) up there. He didn't get them relegated, or even close to it, and they were ticking along about as ordinarily as they tended to do when he went there
Two massive stretches of the truth? B0110cks! Your second point has merit - perhaps not a failure but not a rip roaring success either, but as for Burnley not being a bigger club than B'muff, wow! What planet are you on? A team that has spent 53 years in the top flight is not a bigger club than one that for all but four seasons of its existence has been in the bottom two tiers of league football? Geez! How do you define a big club? - number of letters in their name, perhaps, alphabetical order, or what?

Eddie Howe...don't like him, but only because of his pedigree. But he has done well with a little crap club. :bhasign:

Easy to do well when you OVERSPEND by £36,000,000 to get promoted to the Premiership. The only reason they survived is because Villa, Newcastle and Norwich are in such states.

Bournemouth will hopefully go down this season, with high wages and do a Portsmouth. Cheating b*stards.

I don't buy into the Eddie Howe hype, IMO he's nothing special.

Name the players that bought the league then? Bournemouth haven't cheated any less than plenty of clubs in the Premier League or the Championship! If anything its rewarded by the Football League in parachute payments and other things. I thought QPR broke the rules by a lot more than Bournemouth still yet to be fined.....

Michael Appleton. He's the man for a crisis.

EDIT: Didn't actually realise he'd done quite a good job at Oxford. This suggestion might look like I was being serious.

There is no love for QPR's FFP-Busting on here.

We can disagree about the job he did at Burnley, but the stuff about who is bigger is irrelevant to me to be honest. History is important, but so is the current day. There isn't much between Bournemouth and Burnley at the moment I wouldn't say. Obviously Burnley have a bigger history, but I wouldn't say it makes them a bigger club.

Can we get out of the idea it has to be an Englishman.

Get someone in who can get the best out of the players we have currently, which are not as bad as we have seen recently.

Until the FA and Premier League come together and face the very real problems now inherent in English football it won't matter who the manager is.

Ain't that the truth though. There are some big problems in football from grassroots up to the national team and we have three different organisations involved.

The chances of them coming together are about as realistic as QPR paying its FFP fine, however

Keep Southgate in charge so we fail to qualify for Russia 2018 and all the grief that will bring, and then a fresh start under Wenger.

Good thinking :rock:
