I'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.

Potter is tactically nothing like Southgate

Klopp would be my first choice by a mile, but thinking more realistically I reckon it'll be GP.

What makes Potter “very much an FA man?”

We've made the mistake with uninterested high-profile foreign managers looking for an easy, high paid job to see them through to retirement too many times already.

Big fat NO to Klopp or similar.

Potter is absolutely Perfect for the role. He's got the hunger of Southgate to be successful, but unlike Southgate, he's actually a quality manager.

I saw something yesterday saying that apparently the FA shortlist for if this were to happen was Howe, Potter, Pochettino & Tuchel

Klopp would be incredible but completely unrealistic. He's just left Liverpool because of pressure of work. Imagine the Sun headlines the first time we lose under a German.

It will be Potter, Lampard or Carsley. Of the three, no matter what I've written about Potter in our poorer seasons and when he left, I'd have him at least ten times before I looked at Lampard. Carsley would follow the FA succession plan but wouldn't inspire too many.

What 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.

Klopp is good shout and I'd be all for it.

As for the English candidates I'd go for Potter his style of play more accurately reflects that of the player's week in week out play.

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 getting :laugh:

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.

Klopp would not fit in my opinion, why would he want to destroy his persona?
Potter really seems perfect for it.

Can't see Klopp being interested. It'll be Potter. Probably the best of the realistic options too.
