There does seem to be that perception on here about Howe. Newcastle fans absolutely adore him for the brand of attacking football he has brought them and most say that it is the best since Keegan was in charge. This is reflected in some of their wins in the last two seasons:Redmidland said:

He's made his decision and quickly. Neither Potter or Howe inspire me, nor Carsley come to that. I've said it before and will say it again, the FA need to break the bank and go for Klopp or Pep. I'm not stuck up on 'he must be British" Why? No British manager has been successful in the PL for years.
However I fear it'll be one of Potter or Howe.
Howe is a safe pair of hands, but doesn't set the game on fire in my opinion.
We have a great squad of talented players, we need a manager who can get the best out of them playing attacking football. Neither of the above are, for me, that person.
Fulham (4-1), Brentford (5-1), Villa (4-0), Southampton (4-1), Leicester (3-0), West Ham (5-1), Spurs (6-1), Brighton (4-1), Villa (5-1), Sheffield United (8-0), PSG (4-1), Palace (4-0), Man Utd (3-0), Chelsea (4-1), Fulham (3-0), Spurs (4-0), Sheffield United (5-1), Brentford (4-2), Burnley (4-1), Wolves (3-0) and West Ham (4-3).
First season he was at Newcastle they were heading for relegation and hadn't won a single of their first 12 matches when he took over - they finished 11th and won 12 of their final 18 games. The following season they qualified for the Champions League in 4th and last season ended up in 7th after a horrific list of injuries. For a fair chunk of the season they were without 10 plus players and (not including those that missed a game here and there) the likes of Tonali (banned and missed 30 PL matches), Pope (missed 23), Botman (missed 21), Barnes (missed 21), Anderson (missed 17), Isak (missed 8), Wilson (missed 18), Murphy (missed 17), Trippier (missed 10) and Joelinton (missed 18). The ones in bold would almost certainly be in their best starting XI but the likes of Barnes, Murphy and Wilson are viable starting players /potential game changing subs.2 -
Yeah fair enough. People are now open to having one again.cafcfan1990 said:
Don’t think it’s calling for a foreign manager, it’s just that the English managers available don’t fill you with much confidence.JaShea99 said:It’s funny how the English/non English thing goes in circles. For years it wasn’t even talked about. Then after Sven/Caps etc there was a call for an English manager because “foreigners don’t get our culture”. Now we’ve had an English manager for a while who didn’t win anything (although he’s still massively in credit to me) people are calling for another foreign manager.0 -

Definitely the right thing to do. He inherited a shambles, and despite what people say, his record was good. He has built something but has gone as far as he could. Time for somebody else to try and get us over the line.But please, not Graham Potter.1

Wouldn't there be a hefty compensation fee to pay for Klopp? Pretty sure if he takes a job in the next 12 months there is.
Not that I think he'd take it.0 -

The right time to go, as that had started to fade slightly. The audience numbers for the final were down, and there wasn't quite the same level of excitement as with the previous Southgate tournaments.cafcfan1990 said:
Think this is spot on. He got the whole country energised about the national side again and cannot argue with his results. With a better tactician could we be sitting here with a trophy from the last few years, possibly but not definite.North Lower Neil said:Did wonders on the team spirit/organisational side, and leaves us with much better memories around England than we've had for years, deserves massive praise for that.
Do think he was pretty limited tactically, too defensive, and has also got to the point any long serving manager can of favouring players/not wanting to drop them (a half fit Kane, for example).
Definitely time for change and we have to hope it'll keep the progress from the former, whilst improving the latter. Time will tell.
Was very loyal but that did hurt us the other night, whether we would have won anyway again is a very different matter. Glad he's gone but deserves to be remembered in a positive manner.
He's done a decent job, but nothing lasts forever.0 - Sponsored links:

didnt clock that at all3 -
Think Southgate did an excellent job of turning around a basket case in International football and getting us to a point where we took qualification for granted and expected great things. In the end I think he was tired and a little stale, and given some of the abuse he was getting, I'd imagine he is happy enough to bow out with two consecutive appearances in Finals.
It's been said elsewhere but be careful what you wish for. Potter who did poorly at Chelsea where expectations were high. Pochettino ? hmmm. I'd hope for a next step up appointment, but we are in the same position Charlton were in when Curbishley said he would retire. England are in a good place now, but we dream of the next step, which after losing a final is a trophy. Charlton were dreaming of playing in Europe, but we went straight down. I'd go for Klopp and hang the expense. How he would feel about potentially being asked to beat Germany somewhere down the line, or if he wants the abuse that England managers traditionally get after a poor preformance, is another matter. But we need a good quality replacement. So you can put that CV back in your pocket Appleton.4 -

Think the FA and England Managers/Coaches are like the British Psyche, defensive, negative and play it safe/cautious. Equally this squad have been built up so much but perhaps they’re not as good as we think.
We need to change the mentality of English football, I don’t hold my breath it will happen.
Are you talking about San Marino ?
We have reached two Euro finals and WC semi final we don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water or a new broom; other cliché are available but the flair players/ fittest players still standing by the semi final and final need to be the 16 players used.
We have the template and many excellent players.
We don't need major surgery just a belief in young talents like Palmer and Gordon to be involved earlier; or in Gordon's case nearly totally ignored despite an immediate impact in his 89th minute cameo in an earlier match.

Over the last decade we have seen a steady improvement in the technical quality of English footballers. We used to churn out world class centre backs because we had muddy pitches that favoured the big lads who could head it and hoof it away. As the likes of Trevor Brooking and Gareth Southgate helped to improve the academies across the country, genuine talent has emerged. That's not changing - we are still seeing excellent young prospects come through, and that side has a LOT of potential - not to mention players who won the U21s Euro final last year (beating Spain of all teams).
I've seen a few comments in this thread stating that we have to start again or that we won't come close to winning anything for a decade. I don't understand that. As much good as Southgate has done to get us where we are today, I think he's just started a process. His tactical limitations held us back, and I wish he'd left after the last tournament. Still, he's done a great deal of good and I think we should be really optimistic about the World Cup.14 -

I'd like to Howe but I think Potter will get the job. I don't think that would be such a bad choice, theres not a great deal of talent around that's available and I don't think its the attraction some would have us to believe. The money ain't bad though.1 -
Kieran Maguire posted this on Twitter the other day regarding this tournament's results:oohaahmortimer said:I think the draws we received in 3 of the 4 tourneys were ridiculously favourable

Based on FIFA rankings and converting into domestic positions England’s results over 90 minutes would have been:
Spurs 1 Preston 0
Spurs 1 Leicester 1
Spurs 0 Exeter 0
Spurs 1 Portsmouth 1
Spurs 1 Burnley 1
Spurs 2 Newcastle 1
Spurs 1 Man Utd 2

I just don’t see him as the man to take things forward. He probably would suit the FA as a yes man. The Chelsea job was too big a step too soon for him. I could be completely wrong at it might just well be the job for him. Just can’t see it.Todds_right_hook said:

And a couple of hours later, Potter is on the drift with Carsley the biggest positive percentage wise:Addick Addict said:hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Would like Howe but seems unlikely.
Betfair is down but these are the best prices available in the market according to Oddschecker (these markets will move quickly at the drop of a £10 note):
Potter 6/4 (various)
Carsley 7/2 (Ladbrokes)
Howe 5/1 (Betvictor)
Pochettino 14/1 (various)
Klopp 14/1 (Paddy Power/Betfair)
Lampard 20/1 (various)
Tuchel 20/1 (various)
33/1 bar
Potter 2/1 from 6/4
Carsley 5/2 from 7/2
Howe 9/2 from 5/1
Pochettino 11/1 from 14/1
Klopp 10/1 from 14/1

I hope it’s Carsley, bring up the Irish contingent even further6

Klopp is destined for the German jobClem_Snide said:Would love Klopp to take it, but doubt the FA would even bother approaching him. No chance he would take the job imo. We will get another "safe" appointment and have another few years bemoaning the fact that the squad of players we have is being wasted.1 -

Mark Palios, one time FA chief executive endorsed Carsley for the job on Times Radio yesterday .. his reasoning was that Carsley was in at the beginning of the FA's coaching 'revolution' along with Southgate, he has managed the juniors to world wide success and would be the perfect 'continuity candidate' .. i m o it would be a far too cozy appointment, the England senior team needs a good shake up and influence from outside the FA coaching circle1

Yep, never forgotten or forgiven. Still don’t understand why Richard Dunne let him sit on the pitch with him after the game. Should have decked the cheating twat 😏. Aaaannndddd breathe!!! 😉oohaahmortimer said:

We, the Republic, wanted Carsley, but he decided to stay put. Done a great job with the England U21s and you could do worse than follow the Spanish lead and promote someone who will be working with a great set of players coming through who he knows and who know him.England have a wealth of young talent. Southgate has done brilliantly for you and there really isn’t much more needed to get that next step of winning a tournament.P.S. I’m dreading the Nations League games 🫣🙄2 -
He should have had the job before Southgate. I’m not sure what else he is supposed to have achieved with that group of players.Addick Addict said:

Klopp for me, but I don't think he'll take it.
Failing that, then Howe, but I'd prefer not to "nick" a manager from a club team.
Not sure about Potter.
But not Poch.0
