If they insist on having an English manager again after Southgate,they will be waiting a long time for one,there ain't at the moment & most likely wont be any time soon. The FA want a yes man who will toe the party line and be their spokesperson. Success is secondary. In what way is he a yes man?

In what way is he a yes man? I was going to post the same! Can you give an example? Where and how has that affected the results on the pitch? Who is an example of a 'No' man who could take us forward? Why does the example have to affect results on the pitch? He's failed when it comes to results on the pitch - That's not even up for debate. Let's use his most recent example - He was incredibly vocal about human rights abuse, racial justice, equality and LGBT rights in Qatar prior to the tournament but ultimately totally bottled it when it came to making any meaningful statement in practice because he was told not to? - Be it by the FIFA Officials or/and the FA. To the point that his captain didn't wear a certain armband in fear of getting a yellow card. Attempting to dilute the tournament with neo-colonial politics (our ways better than yours) was always going to make people look particularly stupid, ie Linekar and Neville. But the point is, he bowed down to the pressure of those above him. On the pitch, his tactical horror show in the Euro 2020 final was for all to see. He failed to stamp his authority on any part of that game, lacked any desire to do anything a bit different from any of the other negative shite we've seen from previous England managers in big games - His refusal to start his most in form attacking player in the final of a major tournament and his baffling decision making (or lack of) in the penalty shoot out that followed were particular low points for Gareth. Flip your question on its head. What makes you think he's a "no" man? No-mark maybe 😉 When has he ever gone and questioned or said something contentious about the FA's numerous shortcomings, gone against their wishes or delivered something significant that was tactically out the box on (or off) the pitch. If you can list them out, I'm happy to be convinced otherwise. In terms of "no" men who can take us forward, the likes of Zidane would fit that bill quite nicely ☺️ Which is exactly why the FA won't go near him.

We've only got to put up with him for 18 months.

A bunch of blazers who would rather have someone who doesn't rock the boat than someone with football nous. See the way they held on to Aidy Boothroyd as long as they did as a case in point.
