    I think what a lot of people don't understand about Eddie Howe, is that it takes time for him to work with players to get what he wants out of them. I don't think his football would be best suited for the England job due to how little time he'd actually get to mould the players and their fitness levels.

      EH, I don’t think that’s a given. International football is much different from regular league football, and one of the most important things in International football is the ability to adapt on the fly in match regularly. As great as Pep is, in the past he’s shown his decision-making to counter opponents were lacking sometimes. Not to mention Pep would need more time to have an international side adapt to his tactics and methods.

      As a Brentford got to respect him for the most part. What I would say is that he is probably quite similar to Southgate. He is good at getting the best out of his players and creating a good group dynamic, but probably lacks a bit in terms of innovative tactics. Would imagine Frank would invite similar controversy to Southgate, as he is very loyal to players even if the are in bad form (ie Maguire.)

    Klopp is the perfect candidate. He's one of the best man managers out there, his style of play suits pretty much every talent in the England squad, he's extremely well respected , his command of English is impeccable. The one criticism of Klopp at club level is that he could get burnt out and his teams could struggle at times. This won't be a problem with a national team job. Having just left Liverpool, he might find his familiarity with English players could also work in his favour. The FA should go all in for him.

    Guardiola everyday because England have always lacked that tactical mastermind to elevate the players who can think in game and make great subs. Pep has even said he would be open to coaching England, because as Catalonia nationalist he has no interest in coaching Spain. Klopp would be my second choice but I doubt as a proud German he would take England ahead of Germany. And the idiots who say Mourinho just because he is a big name. His style is defensive and relies on good defenders and defensive midfielders and this is England’s weak point, so an attacking coach is better suited to the players England has because that is England’s strength.

    You spoke this briefly during the video about how football has become boring, but since Pep has his teams frequently playing it safe and reducing risk, and many other managers following in his footsteps, could he be blamed for the loss of quality of football?
    2. Analysis of Blue Lock. This one may seem quite out of the blue (see what I did there?) but hear me out. Blue Lock is a series about how the Japanese football Federation needs to Japan to improve their National Team. In the hopes of doing this, they create an insane project called “Blue Lock.” This show takes a DRASTICALLY different approach to soccer than what is conventionally accepted.

    Great video, I think your spot and and enjoyed your left-field suggestions too. The old adage of making sure you have "some one better lined up" has never been more appropriate, I think people do forget just how bad the England set up was before him, and the complete change in the attitude towards England from players and fans alike, has in many ways occurred thanks to a mature and carefully thought out stewardship under Gareth. Yes sometimes we all crave more gung-ho football but to be honest its actually very rare gung-ho football wins international trophies. Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina France have all won world cups and not actually been gung-ho, Brazil get a reputation for silky skills but anyone that saw US 1994 saw a very gritty team and then in 2002 with a ridiculously talented team they averaged 1.9 goals if you exclude the two routs of Costa Rica and China, so hardly gung-ho. Whether fans like it or not, modern international football is about control of the ball and pulling other teams out of shape, or else its about losing as the other team does exactly that to you.

    The FA just want someone to massage egos and connect with the players on a personal level; they want a yes-man who will be given players to work with and be told who will play in what games. That's the reason why Southgate has lasted so long, he's done a fine job creating team harmony but the sheer ability of England's current crop is why we've done so well, not because of any kind of tactical or strategic vision from the manager. Why else would we leave out our most creative players in most games? Or why else would we set up each game so cautiously and defensively, the same way we did during the 'golden generation' years?
    No England manager would ever be allowed to drop players who are out of form or not compatible with a particular set-up - Joachim Low dropped World Cup winners from his squad after they were poor in 2018, imagine the uproar if Southgate dared do anything like that.
    The fact that embarrassing dross like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc are 'in contention' shows the FA just want a babysitter for whatever squad they put together; what they don't want is a strong-willed manager who tries to implement their own vision (I.e. a Fabio Capello)

Heck I am still waiting for a video about Iranian football given how Iran becomes such a wasted potential as Iran found more in common with England.

England has attacking create and fast players by the bucket load, England need attacking football specialists to elevate the team to a new level and have the tactical intelligence to adapt during the game and that will take England to level of being favourites who can actually beat big teams.

    For me, it has to be Howe. Now maybe its just me, but I firmly stand on that we should try keep it British. Just something about being a huge football nation to me just would be embarrassing having to go for an import, just breaks the spirit of it.
    Also whenever I hear people talk about the England job, there are some things people just do not even account for which baffles me.
    1. Doing well with a shoestring budget is impressive however how does that even apply to international football? Especially our squad is not in a situation of "we will work with what we got". The talent and depth is amongst the best there is. You have to focus on, how do they manage and unlock star power. No point in giving Dyche Phil Foden if he gets as much of a tune out of him as Southgates does. Its just a complete different skill set.
    2. For me, when you are talking about next england manager, the performances in the cups (Europe, FA, EFL etc) needs to have WAYYYYY more weight in the considerations. Everyone knows tournament football is different to league football. This is where Howe separates himself from your Potters and Dyches. Howe has taken Newcastle to a EFL Cup final, Bournemouth to numerous QF's. Yes Champions League he flopped with that PSG game being the only positive, Howe-ver still think Howes cup pedigree is just stronger and HAS to be England manager ASAP

    2) Ole Gunnar Solksjaer: Same with Potter and Martinez, his strengths maybe in international football. And with England's current pool of players, he has a couple of young hungry studs to work with, which is the type of player he found success with at Man United
    3) Jurgen Klopp: if they can somehow convince Klopp, he IS the perfect choice right now. I think gegenpressing would be a nightmare with the young players of England right now. Only question is, will clubs allow their players to play in such a taxing system instead of recovering for their individual pushes in the league and Europe
