Imo he should walk. Keep his 'England's most successful manager' moniker intact and in years to come still be viewed in what I imagine would be a fairly positive way. If he stays and we serve up more of ther absolute dross that we put on show against Slovenia,Slovakia etc then he'll get slaughtered and that's all he'll be remembered for. We were so fortunate not to get knocked out by Slovakia, had we of done it might even have surpassed the embarrassment of Roy's Icelandic nightmare.

Thing is, he's not 'England's Most Successfull Manager' is he?
Sir Alf Ramsey is.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

There's a rumour, unsubstantiated, that he's going to manage the USA team.

I didn't make the title up but it's what gets bandied about. I won't waste my time arguing for or against it.

Think it's time for new ideas...but he can leave with his head held incredibly high. Unprecedented levels of success since I can remember and an absolute top leader of the group.

The change in ownership structure at NUFC (Amanda Staveley & Merhad Ghodoussi out the door) would indicate that PIF want more say in future decisions & direction -
Obviously it remains to be seen what shape any future decisions take but to me it kind of feels a bit like someone releasing the PSR handbrake a couple of clicks -
Howe may become available sooner than would otherwise be anticipated.

Time to go, like Roy with us, did a good job, but you can only go so far playing like that and then it just becomes tedious game after game, especially when it’s not working anymore.
He’s had four goes at it and with other top nations not being that great over the last ten years or so, we’ll never have had a better chance of winning something, so he’s had his chance

I'm surprised he's lasted so long tbh!

Time for some actual success, so his time is up as England Manager.
Although if there's such a job as a where he can maintain and expand on the environment he's created in the camp, whilst staying well away from the touchline, I'll be happy for that to happen.

Time to go. He's done a lot of good for England, however I don't think his approach is correct to win major tournaments or get the best out of all the players we have (or excite the crowds even though this isn't necessary to win a tournament but a nice to have). He's defensive minded and clearly does a lot of reflection and analysis, but his conclusions and what is produced on the pitch is left wanting. He's reached the limits of his ability with England.

I would rather lose playing exciting football, then win by boring the opponents to death, time to push off.

I think his legacy will greatly improve as time passes - completely raised the bar as to what we expect going into tournaments and certainly given me the best tournament experiences of my lifetime.
A hugely underrated coach whose impact will be best highlighted when we start crashing out of tournaments early again.
Having said that, I think it's the right time to move on.

Nice bloke and all that, with good Palace history, but he's right to pack it in now and give someone else a go. He made too many mistakes in selection, tactics, substitutions and general game management.
It's a tough role these days with such high expectations and constant social media criticism focusing on every detail.
Anyway, thanks for giving it your best Gareth and b****y good luck to whoever takes the job. He'll need it for sure!
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
