Does Brendan take the england job if it’s offered?

Of course he does,  he would be thinking he’d be the hero of the nation if he won something 

[Ric Flair]

He would be a really good choice to be fair.

Can't deny it makes a degree of sense though.

The two aren't mutually exclusive

I'm not sure how likely it is but if he were to see out the season here and then move on to England I'd be all for it from both an England and Leicester perspective. At least Maddison might get a few minutes.

[Le Renard]

Rodgers for England, I'm not fully convinced?  I don't think he would have done any better than Southgate at the WC.  Apart from the Argentinians, all the other QF's were won by teams who sat back and soaked it up.

England have a crucial euro qualifier in Italy in March - the fa surely won’t allow a caretaker to be in charge …..

[EastAnglianFox]

Still not convinced Southgate will walk,  I think he's just trying to drum up some sympathy but if he does I actually think the FA will go for Rodgers and will suit pretty much everybody including Leicester.

 

I know we've had a couple of good results before the world cup but long term he's not the answer, he's still damn lucky to be with us imo.

 

As a caveat, I think he's a much better manager than Southgate and can't obvioisly fvckin wait for him to replace Brendan once he jumps ship

Rodgers for England...and we'll need £30M compensation...I can dream can't I?

[KFS]

This would send the Celtic fans into ****ing overdrive. Yes please. 

[KFS]

Anyway hes a training ground manager. Wouldn’t see him doing much without that time spent with players 

[Fazzer 7]

Can't see it myself. 

[Ric Flair]

I do think the FA would be tempted by his clean reputation when it comes to the way he is as a manager. Never gets in to disputes with other coaches, the media or referees. He'd be a dream for them.

 

Probably the only nation that would pay him a salary similar to what he's on here too.

[Corky]

Pickford

 

Justin

Stones

Dawson

Thomas

 

Rice

Bellingham

 

Albrighton

Maddison 

Barnes

 

Vardy

 

Bold first line up for Brendan's opening match.

This is a good point. The FA love an uncontroversial statesman to represent the national team which is probably a large reason as to why Southgate got the job. Like you say, his track record to take the shift away from the opposition and become friends with the media is perfect for them. I think that they would be too concerned and about comments and general etiquette tarnishing their own reputation with international managers, especially with those such as Tuchel and Mourinho who have proven to be in the headlines regularly.

I imagine it would be quite the pay cut for Brendan if he was to take the job.

[Lambert09]

I was discussing this with my friend just the other day, they were asking who you could actually replace southgate with and Brendan was an obvious choice for me. 

 

 

Works best when given the players. A good man manager. Clean as a whistle (frustratingly so) and obvious experience winning things. And absolutely attainable. 

 

The only question that hangs over him, is the mentality that his teams have shown under pressure.  The liverpool collapse and both of ours do show that maybe he does struggle to get the best out of players in tense moments.  

 

The one thing im sure of though, is that he is far more tactically astute than southgate. 

 

 

[daverollo]

Straight swap 

[Matt]

Admirers of his style of football.

 

[Gazza M]

He will say and do the right things the FA are looking for. Could see him being tempted. 

[Foxxed]

He’d be better than Southgate.

 

But I don’t want it to happen.

 

The risk, no matter how unlikely, of Southgate ending up here is too great.

[st albans fox]

Just imagine him being able to say that in addition to arsenal, spurs and newcastle, he turned down England to stay with us!

Which is absolutely barmy when you think about it! Shows how far we've come

[foxfanazer]

Would be a pretty great scenario to be honest. Still think he's coming to the end here but would back him to do a decent job with England

And what have we done in the last 7 games he'd be perfect as a tournament football manager
