Well like Gareth Southgate he could probably do a reasonable job.

But winning something?

Probably not.

Unlike Southgate he as at least won something.

Unlike Southgate he as at least won something.

Yes, true but Southgate wasnt that much of a 'battle tested' club manager.....

He took over at Middlesbrough in 2006 straight from playing without doing prior coaching badges, kept them in the Premier League for a couple of seasons before they suffered relegation, and he was sacked in October 2009.

He got the England job from being FA's Head of Elite Development and Under-21 coach. Most people thought that initially he was the 'caretaker' manager....

He did do a reasonably okay job though.

Howe would probably do a similarly good job with England. He'd have a very good sqaud of players to work with and you'd expect with those players that they will be at the business end of tournaments regardless of who's the manager.

From what I’ve read in a couple of different articles from the Athletic on new Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle is he's a highly rated "proper" football coach...

As a product of the Red Bull coaching system and a disciple of Ralf Rangnick, Matthias Jaissle has built a strong reputation as a modern, tactically sharp manager.

He has won the Saudi Super Cup and back-to-back AFC Champions League titles with Al-Ahli.

Transitioning from the Saudi Pro League to the Premier League will obviously bring a different level of week-in, week-out intensity, but according to how the a lot of analysts view him, his tactical foundation is certainly modern and proactive.

By the end of Eddie Howe’s tenure, Newcastle were struggling with predictability and had a rigid approach.

Jaissle's tactical worldview is much more fluid....and might just be what Newcastle need, especially given how opponents eventually caught on to Newcastle's patterns under Howe.....

Knowing you were called LFC, I've no idea why I thought you were meaning Spurs... Anyway - Slot defiantely under performed with that squad. Defence is a bit of a mess, but if the new guy can tidy that up, the style of football he plays, your attacking options should be fun to watch.

Re-checking my list, I'm not sure why I've got Everton so high. Bizarrely quiet summer from them so far.

All good.
Maybe because I said I rated De Zerbi who knows.
As for your Toffee thought - they actually did better than expected after a slump but yer can’t expect much.
