Top three in the betting to take over are Howe, Carsley and Potter...which I think is mad. We have players with such massive egos, we need a big "name" manager to get their respect, Ancelotti levels. Another FA yes man would mean more of the same at best. I hope they get Klopp. The scouse, not English dick head parade would go into meltdown.

Formby Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Southgate managed like he played - conservatively. Simply not brave enough when it mattered. Strikes me as a very nice man and was loyal to a fault to certain players. The FA also lack bravery so will probably give it to Howe (which will be a travesty). Is Rangnick available?

Another FA yes man would mean more of the same at best. Since when have the United board ever done anything other than go with what they think is right? They went with Moyes because of SAF but then gone for names, not the right manager, for their special group of individuals. They've had big name, big attitude managers and failed over and over; ETH, LvG, Mourinho... Sev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a headline but for the recent rise of nationalism across the West. Honestly - who cares who sings and who doesn't? In fact, I respect Carsley for demonstrating common sense given England is playing Ireland. Matt and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago 2 hours ago, MikeO said: Nobody is going to sing England's national anthem, because we don't have one. "Controversy" over. England does have an unofficial anthem: the theme from Jupiter in Holst's 'Planets' to which the words "I vow to thee my country" have been set. (Gustav Holst was English and named after his German grandfather.) There's also 'Land of Hope and Glory', although Elgar despised the use of his music for patriotic purposes. The most amusing choice is 'Jerusalem', which must raise a lot of eyebrows from other nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Anyone getting worked up about someone not singing the National Anthem needs to run along back to their prawn sandwich and shut the fuck up. As for the game, made up to see Grealish score. A criminally underrated footballer, the Irish will be fuming though - it has to be them two didn't it .
