00:00I don't know who is going to be the next England manager but I'll tell you who should be the
00:26next England manager.
00:27You're going to hear a lot of sensible shouts over the course of this video but allow me
00:31to pop a jaunty little bonnet on that.
00:33I think the Vibes answer is Gary O'Neill.
00:39Gary O'Neill is the perfect choice for the next England manager because, not just because
00:45he's a good manager in general, I think he's proving that at Wolves this season given the
00:48sort of disquiet and discord he went into the club with, but everybody wants a system
00:55manager.
00:56Everybody wants some kind of tactics nerd who's got ideas and may have achieved things
01:00over the course of their career and may be classically considered good, right?
01:03But that's boring.
01:04Gareth Southgate was a system manager and all people ever did was complain that he was picking
01:08players to have a system.
01:09Oh, he's got his favourites, why is Henderson and Maguire in there?
01:12Because he's a system manager.
01:14Eddie Howell will do the same thing, Potter will do the same thing, anybody else you care
01:17to mention will probably do the same thing, but Gary O'Neill is pure Vibes.
01:21Gary O'Neill doesn't know any tactics, Gary O'Neill hasn't got a clue about any of that.
01:25Look at what's happened to Bournemouth, they got rid of Gary O'Neill and they got some
01:30nerd in who was supposed to transform them and look what's happened.
01:34Meanwhile Gary O'Neill, Gary O'Neill is mopping up crime with a brush and then batting away
01:39disorder with his hand at Wolves and they're flying up the table.
01:42Is he not just good at not losing games because he's managed relegation for Endzides?
01:49Would he not be the same as Southgate in the sense that he doesn't go for it?
01:52No.
01:54I can't say enough about Gary O'Neill's pure vibes, he would literally pick a different
01:57squad every single international break just because he fancied, oh they've had a good run.
02:02Gary O'Neill is basically playing FPL, every single week he turns up with the Premier League,
02:05he just does whatever he wants, I think he would be so much fun and I think he would
02:10show England fans as well that it can be different and you can just have a little bit more chaos
02:16in your international side and I just think he'd win the World Cup.
02:22I'm just saying Gary O'Neill, I don't think international football is ready for the sort
02:27of fun Gary O'Neill would bring to that level of football.
02:31Adam, how are you doing?
02:33I'm not too bad.
02:34Who should be the next England manager?
02:37Arsene Wenger.
02:38What?
02:44Arsene Wenger, because I think he's got one more in him.
02:52I think he's 73 now and I'm looking at Roy Hodgson and obviously he is sort of, how can
02:57I say this politely, he's decaying maybe, but Arsene Wenger isn't yet.
03:04Arsene Wenger isn't and he's still, you know, you see him on BM Sports and he's enriched
03:08with knowledge really and I think it's got to the point now with Southgate where I think
03:13the players respect him but there's not enough legacy behind him where the players are sort
03:19of in awe of the presence in the dressing room and they have that instilled confidence
03:22because of the man in front of them that they can go on the pitch and deliver and take the
03:25game to someone and beat them and we know Arsene Wenger has astute tactical knowledge
03:29and has developed the game for many, many years and I think he's a student of the game
03:33even at the age he is now and I think he will impose a style of play particularly with the
03:36players England have now in their team at their disposal, Saka, Foden, Bellingham, Kane.
03:42He could play some absolutely picture perfect football and get silverware with it as well.
03:48That's annoyingly a much better answer than mine.
03:50Yeah, well, it's Arsene Wenger, not Gary O'Neill, that's why.
03:53Oh, Arsene Wenger!
03:55Oh God, yeah, there we go, Arsene Wenger, I would say Arsene Wenger.
04:00Oh God, top four.
04:02Yeah, that's all that matters.
04:05I suppose Southgate's done it but yeah, Arsene Wenger, final answer.
04:09Bob, one day Gareth Southgate's not going to be here.
04:13It's not like a health way or anything, but when he goes for the England job,
04:18who would you have replacing him?
04:21The special one himself, the Highlander of doom, Jose Mourinho.
04:25We are off our heads in this video, this is absolutely mad.
04:29Mourinho?
04:31Yeah, I prefer not to speak.
04:34If I speak, I'm in big, big trouble.
04:37I'm a terrible imitator, you're going to have to.
04:39Imagine the look on Luke Shaw's face when it turns out to be Mourinho.
04:44It's going to be, it just seems like the natural progression.
04:47I mean, Mourinho is now coming to the end of his Roma tenure.
04:50Was it like three years he has in every job?
04:52So he'll be coming to the end when Southgate's coming to the end.
04:58And this is Mourinho, he tends to come back to England, he gravitates back here.
05:02He doesn't take easy jobs, Mourinho.
05:04He doesn't take jobs in which he's particularly liked or respected.
05:09Successful.
05:11But it does seem as well like England tend to go back and forth between polar opposites
05:19and it does feel like we're due a Mourinho.
05:22We've had the nice guy and now we're due the absolute beast on the touchline again.
05:27This is all from it.
05:28They go from one extreme to the other.
05:30They go from Sven-Jan Eriksson to Steve McLaren to Fabio Capello to Roy Hodgson
05:36to whatever Sam Alabase was for a game to Southgate.
05:41It seems like...
05:42There is a real sort of shagga to non-shagga.
05:44It's a shagga to non-shagga ratio.
05:47I believe they also do it when they cast a new Doctor Who.
05:49So I think it's a well-known formula.
05:54But yeah, I mean, I wouldn't everybody love to see Jose Mourinho managing England.
05:59Running down the touchline, going three, three, three, for like three lions.
06:05Three lions.
06:06This is football heritage.
06:11Right, Ryan.
06:12Yes.
06:13England manager after Gary Southgate should be...
06:17Graham Potter.
06:18Graham Potter!
06:19That's the most sensible answer anyone could give.
06:21I'm not going to say some guy that's not managed in six years or Jose Mourinho.
06:25We're not in 2006, guys.
06:27Graham Potter is a good manager.
06:29He's clearly waiting for the right role to come along.
06:32He's been offered, I think, Napoli job, Marseille job.
06:35He's clearly waiting.
06:36He wants a Premier League job.
06:37But if nothing really takes his fancy,
06:40the England job will be there in ten months' time, however long it is.
06:44I think he's the right candidate.
06:47He didn't do too well at Chelsea, but he laid the foundations for De Zerby's Brighton.
06:53He knows how to work with good players, talented players and make them better.
06:57And I think the England team will thrive off of his managerial...
07:02Right, so what I will say is, if I wasn't going pure vibes with O'Neill,
07:06Potter would have been my shout.
07:07But consider this, is Potter not the worst possible England manager?
07:11Because he's so structurally based.
07:15He will just pick the most random, average players,
07:18make a great team out of them and have to leave out so many,
07:20like, quote, unquote, big stars.
07:22But that's what you need to do, I think, to win football matches.
07:25We as a country, we're going to sit...
07:26Oh, 100%, but I think Potter will do that and I think he won't care.
07:29I think he learned a lot, I think, during his time at Chelsea.
07:33What did he learn at Chelsea?
07:34Not to work with owners who spend a billion pounds,
07:37but... and then potentially get a deduction of points.
07:41But I know that's not related, but anyway...
07:42He had a famous vote for him, wasn't he?
07:44Yes.
07:46I just think that he will not care about what people are saying about him
07:49and he'll put the right team out that wins games of football.
07:52And like Southgate does at the moment, sort of just picks his preferred players.
07:57Might not necessarily everyone agree with it, but I think it's the right decision.
08:01I personally would love to see that.
