EnderMB Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Cue the "thanks for the seasono" jokes. It's a shame, because I really liked Conte. Chelsea have a habit of going for egotistical pricks as managers, but Conte was a breath of fresh air. He also succeeded in a season where everyone was jerking themselves to Mourinho and Guardiola, so I think he'll be remembered fondly in England, despite only spending two years at Chelsea.

WhistleHappy Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 He was clearly not the only 'conte' at Stamford Bridge... they don't know a decent thing when they've got one, and the silly 'conte's' appear to have more money than sense.

Southgate strikes me as someone who likes international football, and the challenge of finishing a job he’s started. Not just talking the World Cup here, but the fact he brought some of those players through the U21 system. He won’t get time to do that, even at an Everton, which notwithstanding Russia, is the maximum size of club he’d be in for at the moment. Also, international one off success is no measure of success at club level - see Coleman, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - Southgate has the most sought after and prestigious managers job in the U.K. There's no club managerial position that comes even remotely close to being the England manager. Every PL manager would love the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way...30 years ago the England job would be the pinnacle of any English managers career but not now..not with the money they can earn at big clubs...and if I am being honest I actually think most managers would rather have a chance of winning the premier league and champions league than the World Cup...just my opinion but I think the importance of international football has gone down in significance as much as the fa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, international one off success is no measure of success at club level - see Coleman, Chris Most international managers say that they miss the day to day involvement with the players, but it might just be the other way around with Southgate. It didn't go well for him at Boro' and I don't recall any clubs being after him since then. He's worked within the England set up for some time and previously with the under 19s /20s. He will have seen young players progressing through the England set up and I think he has worked with quite a few of the senior squad previously. With the success of the U19s and U20's at their world cups he must see a tremendous opportunity to oversee the next few years of England's progress and development on the back of what has been achieved at the WC - surely beyond his own expectations. He might be the type of manager who struggles with the day to day man management of players at club level - the gripes and groans of players not being selected, aggro with owners over finances and transfer strategy and agents etc. but is much more comfortable with a group of players coming together every so often and who have bought into a philosophy that they have become used to a more junior international levels and where he just has the players and playing issues to focus on..

YorkshireSection Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Southgate clearly loves his role with England, his job is far from over and imho he will fancy taking us to win our 1st major trophy in recent history, possibly at the EUROS in 2020, or in Qatar 2022. I can't see him going anywhere for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be nuts giving up England for the premier league, he wouldn't get one of the top, top clubs so he'd end up with a team who would sack him the minute they were anywhere near the drop zone. With England he will get another two years at least. In the premier if he'd didn't hit the ground running he'd be out after 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolskRed Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 With Chelsea apparently being put up for sale I can see the master plan is in progress. Wally to sell the gas and with the substantial proceeds, buy Chelsea and take Clarke with him. They will the come back with a £10M bid for Harrison only to remember he has a very small sell on clause... I think we know the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a shock under Abramovich. For most managers it’s two years and that’s your lot. After the next taxi on the rank, probably the Napoli coach, in two years time it’ll probably be the Russian national manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's set the bar higher, again. No need to threaten how his time with England will be looked back upon by going into a Euro's where people will once again expect us to go far. Took him 22 years to exorcise the memory of last Euro's he was involved with... If I was him I'd run, retire completely and never have to buy my own beer again. Something Chris Coleman should have done too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
