I’ve not really had a close look at who this might point to but this gives a template as to what we need. I think I know just the person who ticks the majority of those boxes 😉

Reading about the Cricket set up it seems is very similar to the one Southgate has fostered. Wellbeing is uppermost in what they do.. People want to play for Stokes and Southgate.

Wellbeing is uppermost in what they do.. People want to play for Stokes and Southgate. And that’s why I’d let Southgate decide what he wants to do, for example if he wants to continue with the set up in a different role. And then see if Pep is ready from 2025.

Hated having Sven and Fabio. If you believe that taking the knee sends the wrong message, then I'd argue having a foreign manager sends a far worse one.
December 12, 20223 yr My list of criteria for the next England manager English Plays the best football on the planet No teams have ever beat him Never had a shot against any of his teams no affiliation to any young current England players must dress excellently must love the Monarchy must only take 2 max right backs. must always always make the right decision Not too old Not too young not too middle aged no yellow teeth must have own teeth must like gravy must not drink pints of wine must never use a brolly waistcoat only if its a Stoney. over 6ft tall not over 6ft3 tall not fat not skinny No DMB's No kopites Must have won every trophy as a player must have won every trophy as a manager never ever failed does charity work eats a roast on Sundays Thats it, kept it nice and short. That should keep everyopne happy....for now. Edited December 12, 20223 yr by Pablo

December 12, 20223 yr 4 hours ago, Traf said: Some do. Denmark have, at least, won something more recently than we have. Don’t we laugh at Wigan for suggesting they’re bigger than Bolton because they won a major cup competition more recently than our four wins in the same cup competition?
