    It is difficult to judge an international manager in the same way as a club one because a league is obviously not subject to the draws you get.

    Southgate has been fortunate in his major tournaments to have draws that have been incredibly favourable. His knockout wins have come against Colombia, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Denmark and Senegal. Good teams but not the very top teams, ones you would expect us to beat, Germany is the stand out one and even they were very much not the Germany side of old.

    I agree that internationals are different to league football, and he was gash at Boro but he's done a hell of a lot better than many of us expected. I was one of the biggest critics of his appointment. Don't forget we used to struggle against the likes of North Macedonia and lose to Iceland with the 'golden generation'.

    Man Utd and their ambitions to be back at the top are probably beyond him and a team like Brighton or Villa are his level. 

  2. Southgate hasn't been bad as England manager but is way to loyal to certain players and is too cautious. Everyone raves on about Terry Venables but he never reached a final (partially because of Southgate).

    However he is not the man to make Man Utd what they were under Ferguson.

  3. It shows what a good manager and decent owners can do. From League 2, and not knowing where the home games will be to appearances at Wembley and possible promotion. 

    One day it might be us, though right now it feels like we will just end up at the crap owners and League 2 stage.

  4. 1 game and it's already Eustace out. Wow. I've not looked, but I bet there have been a few of our best managers that have lost their first game. Perhaps we should have rotating managers like the hosts of Have I Got News For You, or hold a raffle for fans to have a go at the next game. 

    How the hell can someone come into this club and then magically stop it being some sort of insane crap show within a week when the clowns are still in place? And how do you expect a head coach to rid us of those clowns? Buy the club? Launch a tactical nuke to Pune?
