I really hope it happens just to witness the fallout with the gammos

It's bordering on the ridiculous. Many first rate male coaches have commented that one of the arts of good football management is the ability to massage ego's.

No female coach could do that with the mens team. I would bet my left one on it.

Well at least Harry Kane smashed David Blaine's record for doing fuck all in the box.

The wait over when we win the World Cup in 2030. Can anyone find me any odds?

I’m sure that the majority of WW posters these days would be delighted with a female England Manager.

Cant do much worse though I guess.

Can't do much worse (than the most successful England manager of all time minus Sir Alf).

Joke would be funny if he was actually in the box at any given point instead of lumbering about at left back.

Or, another unsuccessful competition- we're still in the wilderness!

Squires take on Southgate's departure.

2 Euro Finals and a World Cup semi final in the space of 3 years isn’t exactly in the wilderness.

Well said. I said it on another thread earlier, but some people fuckin hate people who give a shit about others.

It's a testament to the state of things that "Do-gooders" is a derogatory term.

I think that's more when someone thinks they are doing good but in fact are being a pain in the arse or getting in the way

not literally someone who goes around doing good all the time

Possibly the worst example of a "do-gooder" ever.

Management takes many forms. In football and in every day life. I wonder if Fergie would have got a better result  on Sunday if he’d have been in charge. I doubt his managerial style would be acceptable today.

Sorry for the comparison.
