Next England manager – Interesting reaction from bookies and punters after latest Gareth Southgate shambles


 
 
 
 
 
 

The latest Gareth Southgate shambles unfolded on Thursday.

After a very lucky 1-0 opening win over Serbia, England playing Denmark in their second group game.

Having witnessed the many failings of that opening game, Gareth Southgate bizarrely going with the exact same players and tactics.

This time, England lucky to get a draw.

Gareth Southgate booed at the end of the match by the thousands of travelling England fans, the clueless team selection and tactics all too familiar.

Players who are so highly regarded when they play for their clubs, turned into struggling plodders thanks to Southgate’s ultra-negative tactics and team set-ups.

Plus, Gareth Southgate continuing with this woeful ludicrous attempt to play Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield.

One thing has become crystal clear, no matter what happens in the rest of this 2024 Euros tournament, it has to be Southgate’s last.

He has had one of the best groups of England players for many a year and experienced massive luck with easy qualifying groups and opposition drawn against in finals.

Yet as soon as England play a quality opposition, we know what will be the outcome.

So who will replace him?

Well, the bookies and punters have reacted after the shocking England 1 Denmark 1 match.

These are now the best prices generally available across the various bookies as to who will be the next permanent England manage:

3/1 Graham Potter

6/1 Eddie Howe

10/1 Mauricio Pochettino

11/1 Lee Carsley

14/1 Pep Guardiola

20/1 Luis Enrique, Thomas Tuchel, Steve Cooper, Jurgen Klopp

25/1 Steven Gerrard, Jose Mourinho, Frank Lampard

Well, so long as it isn’t Eddie Howe (for selfish Newcastle United reasons!), I would be more than happy with many of these towards the top of the market. If Graham Potter is up for it then he should be a no-brainer, he would be getting far more out of this England squad than Gareth Southgate.
