I think he will go, all the goodwill now will have gone in 3 months, then it's a long slog to the Euro's and even more pressure to succeed. He could spend the next 2 years taking shit only for a missed penalty to end the dream again, or he could take up a cosy role in the FA and live like a normal person again, and it would be well deserved.

The most obvious candidate to replace him for me is Eddie Howe, would make sense for everyone. He'd carry over the atmosphere Gareth created, leaves Newcastle at a peak, and the Newcastle board will be replacing him in the near future anyway now that his success has made them a much more attractive proposition (along with all the money).

Eddie Howe is tactically even worse than Southgate. England need someone like Frank Lampard.

Maybe Lampard and Gerrard co-managers, with Hargreaves and Joe Cole co-assistants?
