New manager

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

Southgate won loads against the likes of Albania, Finland and San Marino and rode his luck in one-off cup competitions (Slovakia, Netherlands). I haven't seen anything to suggest that he'd be any good playing teams of a similat level/ability on a regular basis

Exactly, Southgate got to the Euro 24 final beating only Serbia (ranked 32), Slovakia (ranked 41) and the Netherlands (ranked 7) while drawing with Slovenia (55), Denmark (21) and Switzerland (20).

England under Southgate were progressively more painful to watch despite having excellent players. With [Poor language removed] players he would be a disaster. Avoid at all costs.
