Not unexpected, he looked like his race had been run, but what a ride, the fans that actually follow the national team to the tournaments will be sad to see him go I'm sure.

Lets hope Southgate stays on then: WC 2018 - Semi Final Euro 2020 - Final WC 2022 - Quarters Euros 2024 - Final

Most of those leagues you mention have all just been won by foreign managers.....just sayin. We've tried foreign managers before, neither could get us near a final. In Capellos case the players actually revolted mid-tournament as he didn't understand how to manage English players, it was a disaster, especially for the fans who had paid good money to travel to SA. But you do make a good point on the talent pool of English managers, like the player pool, its getting smaller and smaller due to the spending power of the Premiership clubs and that ability to sign the best players in the world, many of them are not English, which tells its own story. All that said, we need to stick to a domestic manager for me, someone who understands the country, the fans and our history.

Interesting comments on Walker, arguably our best player in the tournament, saved us countless times with his pace, but I guess you're looking at his age and will he lose his legs? He'd be first on my team sheet for USA world Cup, if he maintains his current form. Kane has 36 goals domestically this season in a tough league which Bayern didn't win, the most goals of any player in Europe. He's been an easy target this campaign due to the role he played for the team, lack of support and very few chances, yet shared the golden boot! But I agree, in the current system he looked a shot player, but what a player he's been if he hangs up his boots for England.

He was born here I believe, but qualified for Ireland having had a pint of Guinness once. He’s taking the same route as Southgate by being in charge of U21’s, but he doesn’t have the playing pedigree like Southgate has. Hardly inspiring is it? Keep Southgate for me if Carsley is the alternative.

You should know by now to take everything said on here with a large pinch of salt chaddy. When push comes to shove, the FA and Southgate will decide the future, Gareth gets results, his tournament record is outstanding, but sadly we came up against a Spain side that reminded me of Man City at times, we just couldn't get the ball of them and no manager could have done anything different with this set of players to counter that Spain side last night. No foreign coach has ever won a world cup and only 1 has ever won the Euros, so if Gareth decides to leave its English only for me and that puts Eddie Howe in the hot seat if he'd leave Newcastle at best! Lets hope Gareth gives it another 2yrs until the next world cup.

If Eustace got us to the next 2 playoff finals and we lost, would you be looking to sack him? Of course he should stay on, no other manager in the history of English football has got us to 1 Euro final, let alone 2!!

History says it does matter. No foreign manager has ever won a World Cup.

Every cloud 👍

You’d know….. Hope you’re well pal 👍

But we’ve gone backwards….

We’ve gone backwards since Mowbray left DE, but I take your point, nobody stands out, who you thinking?

Phenomenal effort by Southgate, he’ll be kept on if he wants the job, no doubt about that. He took over England when we’d been knocked out in 2016 by Iceland, posters on here have short memories.

And a European cup final 👍 You’d be watching songs of praise now if it wasn’t for Kanes goals

Southgate’s subs eh?

Englands to scorer? We’d not be here tonight if it wasn’t for his goals.

Let’s not underestimate the quality of this Spanish side.

Kane has 3 goals, important goals, we wouldn’t be here without those goals.

Berlin sounds like Wembley. Got a good feeling about tonight, fancied us right from the group stages, let’s finish this off and bring the trophy home.

First 5 minutes we need someone to put Lamine Yamal over the touchline, a real crunching tackle, let him know who we are and where we come from, that will set the tone and let him know we won't be fooked around and he should have stayed in school. Come on England.

Absolutely spot on M_B. Far to many posters on here trying to win the argument rather than looking at the facts. Southgate's record is phenomenal, better than every other England manager in the history of the game. Come on England.

It wasn’t lost on me as I was writing the posts earlier Speedie, but I’ve convinced myself you can’t compare club management and International management. Tournament football is win at all costs, a handful of games, you don’t have to look pretty doing it. Club football needs a little more thought, more entertainment due to sheer number of games over a season.

Southgates record with England, courtesy of @M_B World Cup quarter final World Cup semi final Two Euro finals, one to be decided First final EVER on foreign soil Why do you think we need a change?

@47er Would you be trying to keep Southgate until the next World Cup 2026? I'd be signing him up now.

Have to say I'm extremely surprised at the numbers sold, especially after the shambles of last season. I guess it shows the pricing is right and the public have responded. Good effort to all who have bought, I hope your loyalty is rewarded, you all deserve it. Venkys Out!
