Thread: Would you have Southgate as Notts Manager..!?

    Would you have Southgate as Notts Manager..!?

    Ok a hypothetical question, as if an ex England manager would ever come to Notts in any capacity whether DOF or Manager. Would anyone on this board welcome Soughgate as our next manager..?
    It's a big fat No from me...

    As long as Montague did the recruitment 100%, and, say, Alves took the training and picked the team I would welcome Southgate in

    If I was suffering from acute insomnia, definitely.

    Would rather have Ardley and Fullarton in charge as a management duo with Guy Branston as head of recruitment, Aileen Trew as owner and the red away kit as the new home kit.

    No because I don’t like the tactics that the England team employ. It’s clear to me it’s to get an early goal and protect what we’ve got. We had a perfect opportunity to win the last Euros after taking the lead 1-0 against Italy and ultimately lost the game on penalties after they equalised.

    Now there is nothing to say that in tournament games if we try and get the second goal we may leave ourselves open to an equaliser and may lose games.

    If we are going to lose or get knocked out why not at least do it by doing what the fundamental of football is to TRY and score more goals than the opposition?

    The England players are conditioned to be like it as well from interviews. I don’t expect England or Notts for that matter to beat teams 3 or 4 nil every week. What I expect is for them to at least show some aggression, energy and desire to go on and TRY and finish the opposition off when taking the lead.

    Good God no, about as awful as having Maynard managing England would be.

    Saw these a while ago and thought it amusing.....

    Gareth Southgate eats McDonalds with a knife and fork
    Gareth Southgate drives on the motorway at 55mph
    Gareth Southgate listens to the shipping forecast every day
    Gareth Southgate claps when the plane lands
    Gareth Southgate wears gloves when filling his car with patrol
    Gareth Southgate stops at the traffic lights in GTA.
    Gareth Southgate lets his microwave meal stand for a minute after cooking
    Gareth Southgate Creosotes his fence on the first Sunday of March
    Gareth Southgate records the one show
    Gareth Southgate wears a condom to have a w@nk

    I still think England can win this tournament by default but it would be in spite of Southgate not because of.
