I like how they're progressing someone through the age groups...
Think its the right approach in that sense
Not entirely sure i'd want Lee Carsley as the senior team manager though if Southgate leaves after the Qatar WC.
I kind of think that where the internal promotions stop. Southgate proved to be a good appointment of course, but initially he was only on an interim basis.
Bit of a pisser for the franchise having backed him in this transfer window and with only a week left till the season starts, but money talks as per
Surely it's more that Swansea are a bigger club, in the Championship with a chance of promotion to the PL
Bigger club definitely and in the Championship, but think they've got a lot of work to do before they're in with a chance of the Premier League again. He supposedly turned down their first offer so assume they upped the offer
Think it may be a bit soon for him. He would have been better to stay at MKD, have a good season, and then have a pick of a few better Clubs, maybe even his old Club Norwich if they get relegated again. I do think he’s going to be a very good manager though.
Does make me laugh when he said in an interview a few weeks ago (When taking about the Scott Fraser saga) about how clubs should make sure their business early - Now goes and jumps ship himself
Will be interesting to see who MK replace him with. You’d think they’d want someone to continue the style he’s implemented, but that might not be easy to find. You’ve got to be patient if you insist playing that way and build the club up over time. I always feel it’ll never suit us as we’re always desperate to get promoted from this league and it’s a risk trying to play that way in the Championship if it’s new to the squad.

Dean Lewington might be a good shout, been at the club forever

Carsley is stepping up from the U20's and Cole is an academy coach at Chelsea.
Think its the right approach in that sense
I'm not sure he's got that good a record with the U20s as it doesnt look like they've played that much.
Be a bit ridiculous to write someone off, based on their playing career
Swansea make an official approach for Russell Martin.
