Do you get the feeling that Ian Wright does not like Mark Pougatch much because everytime i see him he looks miserable when the presenter starts talking

It's the question that all of Europe is asking, ahead of the championship.
Honestly the let's blame everything on Rooney brigade has surpassed all expectations of embarrassment.
Here's a novel idea, don't start with three strikers. Let's not drop England's top goalscorer rather the new kid on the block. Rooney and Kane should both start.
Some pace, even if Sterling is frustrating at times he still looks a threat.
Wilshire should be one of the first names on the team sheet and James Milner who is Mr Dependable shouldn't.

Bodgson should've used tonight to start the majority of his 11 to play against Russia, in the formation he plans to use for the game. He shouldn't still be experimenting a week before the tournament. All the rubbish we saw tonight should've been road tested in friendlies months ago. Bodgson doesn't appear to know what he's doing. I fear he really doesn't know what he's doing. It's like watching a real life version of Mike Bassett: England Manager.

Very smart move by Everton, if it happens. I have for a while thought Koeman one of, if not the best manager in the premier league and I would like to see him manage at a club which doesn't have to sell on its best players to survive.
I will still have to be convinced that this will actually happen, as he does look quite settled at Southampton, but if he does move to Everton, I wonder who his replacement at Southampton would be?
It would be a very good opportunity whomever takes it on.

That I would imagine is one of the first things the new manager will have to sort out, convince those players to stay, if they want to that is. Though they are all good players, I think the amount of money they could fetch, they could easily be replaced.

Time will tell I guess.”
Everton need to invest in their ground, Southampton do not

I was thinking from a purely on the pitch footballing perspective, as that is what a manager most cares about, and is contracted to sort out, but the point about the respective grounds is true.

it will determine how much money the manager has to spend
Southampton to everton would be interesting if it happened. Maybe he's thinking he's taken Southampton has far as they can go unless he gets funds to strengthen which he might have been told he's not getting. First thing he'll have to do is replace lukaku who wants to play CL football next season. I don't think Everton will getting into top anytime soon without some serious spending.

Think Lukaku needs a bit of a reality check...the clubs been linked with him so far are Chelsea, Man Utd & PSG...two of those won't be offering it him next season, and the one that can, then he obviously has no desire to win the competition. He might get better offers after the Euros of course, or he might be persuaded to try another season at Everton under a new regime and see how that works out.
