The reality of Eddie Howe swapping Newcastle United for England any time soon

Eddie Howe is cool and composed whenever he is asked about the prospect of one day becoming England manager.

For a start, there is already somebody in the job and even finishing bottom of the UEFA Nations League and dropping into League B has not really altered the stance of the FA. Even in the direct aftermath of the 4-0 hammering by Hungary in Wolverhampton in June when fans turned viciously on Gareth Southgate, his position was still relatively safe.

And even if England don't have a great World Cup in Qatar there is a reasonable chance that he is still in charge for the next Euros in Germany in summer 2024. Unless England win either tournament or make a final or two, 2024 seems like a natural exit point for Southgate.
