Gareth Southgate?

[sammyspurs]

Tactically inept is the [preferred term ] of the tactically clueless. I suspect Gareth’s personality and his FA acceptability clouds the judgment of some but to overlook him as a contender is absurd!

Three pages of “no” and yet to read an explanation as to why. Like actual opinions on his style of play, man management, defensive issues, way he deals with pressure in games, tactical awareness, subs......

Just a load of people who don’t like English managers basically.....yet people fawning over Benitez because he won stuff in 1914 but not minding the fact Newcastle were the biggest eyesore in English football under him.

But tbf he also had Ashley to contend with

People moan about Levy but look what you could have won

 

[NorseYid]

Could he work with Levy?

No.

Then again, managing a football team under Levy is like governing minority rights under Bobby Mugabe.

Im not talking about this thread, but there is a specific poster in here who is, but cant say why Southgate is so poor

Meh......Ashley is scapegoated because he's a Southerner.
Despite what people think, Newcastle arent a team full of total shit, but in three years can you say any particular style of play they had under Rafa?

Just another page filler, with even less relevance than the likes of Cardiff. They were a team you forgot were even in the PL until we played them. Boring, dull, nothing football.

His time has gone, the likes of Southgate are the future

I haven’t seen one single worthwhile argument as to why it’s a definitive no

It's just opinion, i think i gave some worthwhile reasons why not, you don't agree which is fair enough. I see a big difference between International and club management you don't, again opinion. There is no right or wrong just individual opinion.

Why is it exactly that the “tactically inept.” line is so often preferred by those that have nothing to say on the issue of tactics

I'd rather have Southgate than Mourinho.

I agree, me too but it's kinda like saying that I would rather get hit with a baseball bat than a lead pipe.
Neither one are going to go well for you !!

Personally I think he was a failure at his one and only attempt at club management, followed by four years when other clubs were not exactly fighting over him, until he was appointed England U21 coach.

I don't think he's the sort of manager we should be looking at when Poch eventually leaves. We are (or should be ) bigger than that and looking to appoint someone with a proven club pedigree OR an exciting young coach who has demonstrated an ability managing in the PL. And I don't think he is either.

I agree that Gareth is a nice guy, but I don't think he is top level club management material.

Went to a wedding a couple of years ago and still got my blue waistcoat from the 3 piece suit I bought, so it's a yes from me..

We beat Colombia and Sweden to get to a semi. Name me one good team we beat at that world cup?
