He's also worked with quite a few of the senior team which will be a help. Though interim to me suggests the FA are holding out hope they can convince Pep evenutally. no chance, partly because i just dont think top table managers are interested in international football but also because i think the likes of pep and klopp, managers with a very strong tactical set up and an infectious personality, would struggle at international football there would be huge amounts of screaming "told you so" when pep finally cant spend money on a team but the reality would be more that he just doesnt get long enough with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he did supposedly offer himself around 2013 which does make it a not completely out of the question hope, but I do doubt it will happen.

By interim I think they might be holding out for Eddie Howe. It just gives them time to make the.right decision because even though Carsley has u21, its a million miles away from the England job. He wouid be.way out lf his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Talksport are perpetuating a conversation about Pep taking the job, I can’t be the only person to think he’d have zero interest surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's going to manage Spain and Catalonia aren't going to have a team ever. If he wants to manage at international level why not take the job that would pay him the most.

Appoint someone who wouldn't get a job anywhere else and is guaranteed to be a "yes man". I despair, pick a manager they couldn't even pick their own noses.

But it’s totally uninspiring so will fit in with what is generally norm regarding the England setup. What makes it worse is that it’s a nose. If this clown gets a few decent results he’ll get the job permanently.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
