It wouldn’t surprise me if they promote from within again. Who’s the current u21 boss? Lee Carley I think

My outside two picks: 1) Spanish Bob - leader, cohesive team builder, one of our own... 2) Sarina Wiegman - Impeccable track record, unflappable, builds strong team unity around natural leaders, always looking for the next challenge, revolutionary choice to get the blazer duffers spluttering. 1 could only get a very good belguim team to the last 16 not for wiegman not a bad shout Portugal i meant but again only got the quarters and he was stubborn not dropping ronaldo

Whoever takes the job on is probably likely to disappoint. Only one prize that counts every two years and if England don't win it we're all disappointed. Who'd want a job like that. At several million pounds a year I don't think we will short of candidates.

At several million pounds a year I don't think we will short of candidates. I dont think the England job would rate in the top 10 in salaries for managers in the Premier League. Southgate has done the right thing. He's quit while his stock is very high, and will get a lucrative job in one of the top leagues in Europe. Not sure who should replace him, but think Graham Potter has got the wind behind him. The bookies are seldom wrong either.

I'm not clued up in the slightest when it comes to history, so I've no idea about this Spain Gibraltar stuff. I'm assuming the equivalent would be England players singing "The Falklands are ours" after winning a major tournament?

It would be more like saying Hong Kong is ours, immediately after beating China. I don't really give a shit about Gibraltar personally, but the point is there's no need to bring it into a football celebration. And to do it straight after beating England is making a pretty obvious point, and this from a player who plays in England (Rodri). I'd expect UEFA to take action.

Good quiz question - which five countries does Spain share a border with? Most people only think there's two until they really think about it.

Quick question...does anyone think any of the England players would make the Team of the Tournament? Imo the only ones that would be anywhere near would be Stones, Saka and Pickford. No, in a word. One England player has made the Team of the Tournament. Kyle Walker! I'd have said Stones or Saka if anyone.

Whatever version chose Walker you have to more than question what they had been watching the last month. Only player to come out of the tournament with his reputation intact or maybe even enhanced is Pickford, and he's rarely if ever let England down anyway. We can debate whether it's the manager, the system or if the players are knackered or not even as good as we think until the cows come home. Hopefully whoever the new manager is can continue on Southgate's success and he will quite rightly go down as our most successful manager since 1966. I just want us to play without fear and get the best out of the undoubted quality we have as a squad of players moving forward, especially offensively because we have such talent in those areas.

I would imagine, Morocco, obviously from the discussion above, The UK because of Gibraltar, Portugal and France obviously and I expect the one people forget about is Andorra.

I see BBC Sport constructed a poll to see who England fans would want as the next manger.
The least favourite 3 were Tuchel, Potter & Carsley in that order.
The 3 most wanted were Pep, Howe & way out in front was Klopp.

I wonder about Carsley.
International football seems a bit of a different kettle of fish to club football.
He’s won the u21 euros.
I wouldn’t be too unhappy if he got the job.
We’ve had good/great club managers before. Not really sure it makes much difference?

Offer it to Klopp - tell him to name his price and offer him a ridiculous bonus in addition for winning World Cup. It’s not like the FA can’t afford it.

Lee Carsley given interim job.
Thoughts?
Pretty alright with that. Did well with the u21s.

Those who play for him at U21s seem to really like him. Hopefully that will transfer to senior level, as will his positive football.

Far better than options like Gerrard and Lampard No not for me. Better to have someone who knows the younger players well, so if and when they come through to the full England team they know and respect the manager . That way worked well with Southgate we just couldn't get over the final hurdle to win a trophy,
