If we go out before the semi’s then he should be gone.

And they have already said they won't sack him before the World Cup so as long as England made it out the group then I can't see him going unfortunately.
I think he was ok to steady the ship for a couple of years after big Sam went and had a lucky run at the last World Cup although we should have atleast got to the final, we were all over Croatia in the first half but then suddenly we went all defensive in the second half which was probably due to southgates half time team talk and tried to defend a 1-0 lead and ended up losing it.
With all the young talent we have now we need a fresh and more attack minded manager, maybe lampard or Steve G.

With enough pressure from the fans and media they would. Or he would resign himself. Once the media turn on you, life is very arduous.
I see , I guess if they did get rid they wouldn’t have many candidates to choose from. There is a major shortage of top English managers.
I think someone like Lampard would do a better job and he's got a good track record of bringing young players through.
He's also available so the FA wouldn't need to pay compo other than what they would need to pay off Southgate with as I don't see him quitting even if we lose the next 2 games.

Lampard? Seriously he has shown nothing that would warrant being considered for England management
Gerrard has shown more but even still far too early, I think England needs a manager like pep or klopp tbh more so klopp, get the players playing expansive, expressive football we have enough talent

Bringing young talent through is not the job of the senior national team. Clubs and the under 21’s are the ones who bring the young players through and the senior national team gets the pick of the best.

It shows how far we have fallen. Normally we would be looking at managers with a long history of winning trophies at the top level. Now people are talking about failed managers in Lampard or Gerrard managing in a league that is below the Austrian league.
Because they are the only team to have finished 3rd so far
If more teams finish third with 4 points then we'll have more information.
As of today, finishing better than the Swiss would almost definitely guarantee qualification.

Tbf, the last manager we had with a proven track record of winning trophies was Capello and he was awful.
I wonder if Wenger would give it a go. There’s no one better for expansive flowing football.
I doubt pep or Klopp would want the job and given that the FA seems to want an Englishman then what other options do we have? Eddie Howe, Dean smith, Shaun Dyche, Graham potter?
Lampard did well at Derby and then in his first full season at Chelsea despite the transfer ban getting them CL then got sacked while only being 11 points behind the league leaders and securing a CL last 16 place so he did OK IMO. I'm sure he would serve up something better than the dross we are currently seeing.
Southgate on the other hand had 3 seasons at Middlesbrough finishing 12, 13 and 19 Getting them relegated after 11 seasons in the top flight.

Definitely. According to Andybtsn, Bielsa is Jesus, so he should be capable of a miracle or two.

Not a snowball's chance in hades.
Bunch of pampered Prima Donna's who can't be bothered to play with any passion or pride for their country.
What are your thoughts on colluding with the Czech Republic, draw would see both teams guaranteed to qualify. England would be second, but in doing so avoid playing against a team from the group of death (France / Germany / Portugal) in the next round.
A nice 3-3 with hattricks for Sterling and Schick (to boost their golden boot hopes) would do nicely.

This.
Same old ****, the Scotland game was a bore fest, England played like Everton for the entire 90 minutes.

England winning the Euros? No, certainly not with this manager.
I just want us to actually have a go for once, go out there and go for the win not this **** possession based plan that goes nowhere borefest that we're so used to under Southgate.
He sounded like he'd make a few changes for the last game, I doubt it. Im expecting;
1. Sterling starts
2. He plays 2 DM
3. 0-0
4. He probably sticks Maguire in there, even though we haven't conceded yet and he won't be match fit
Southgate gunna Southgate
