Lee Carsley

I think it's a problem for Thomas Tuchel that so many have pulled out of this camp.

And it happened when Lee Carsley was interim manager.

It didn't happen so much under Gareth Southgate.

And at a time when a lot of fans are not happy with his tactics in Argentina, again, we hear that some of the players weren't as well.

Maybe that's been taken advantage of a little bit.

Wow.

Well, he said similar, didn't he, when they all pulled out on the Lee Carsley? Say there's a

tournament this summer.

You can get these mass pullouts.

It happened when Lee Carsley, uh, was caretaker manager at this time of that particular season.

So yeah, I, I think it puts a bit of pressure on Thomas Tuchel, because i- if you are a detractor of the England manager, you could use these pullouts to say, "Well, the players don't want to play for him." Yeah, I was gonna say, there's, there's different variations within this, right? You could, you could make an argument that Kobbie Mainoo doesn't wanna go because of how he was treated in the World Cup, for example.

You can make the argument that Cole Palmer is like, "Okay, you want me back now, even though I wanted to go and you didn't choose me for the World Cup.

And this is the problem.

You've got to-

Yeah, but that's also Lee Carsley decided to go ultra.

[laughs]

Yeah, I mean, the team we had, it was kind of...

I wouldn't say dogs, like the sort of dogs of war, but it was, it was, you got your midfield with Graveson and Carsley in it.

Um, apparently all the same person.

Oh my God.

We've been doing this too long, Graham.

I mean, as we'll come to, um, as we'll come to a think when, um, When Real Madrid actually came in for Graveson, it was rumoured that they actually wanted Carsley.

They'd signed the wrong Baldy.

But this does happen.

We're hiring Thomas Tuchel.

Like, that's what annoys me because we actually were doing it and then decided to abandon it because Lee Carsley wouldn't sing the Irish national anthem or the English national anthem in Ireland or some nonsense.

Like, you groomed Lee Carsley to do it and then you were like, oh, no, no, don't fancy it.

Thomas Tickle, big money.

Well, it's failed now.

Um, news.

Congratulations to former Wanderer Mario Cozy Duber who's been called up to Lee Carsley's England under 21 squad.

Um, Terry Gayle has been called up to the Barbados national team for their CONCACAF Nations League fixtures.

Jack Bonham has signed a one-year extension with Bolton Wanderers.

He's scoring goals.

What do you do? If, if, if, like I, I've, I've read a little bit about, um, is it Lee Carsley, the, the England 21s manager?

Yeah.

And he's saying like, "Even we're being patient with Dowman.

We're gonna get him in, but we have to be patient.

We've all got a plan.

We need to stick to the plan." You know, e, e, if, if Lee Carsley is like, "We have to handle this properly," you can't throw him abroad where he has got the quality.

I mean, that finish against Ipswich, the first one, is ridiculous.

So, yeah, You know, it's funny how England have sort of gone down a different route to how Spain have done it.

Because we were talking about employing, what's his name, the under-21 coach, I can't remember, Lee Carsley.

Lee Carsley,

yeah.

Lee Carsley.

You know, would he get the main job? And everybody sort of said, no, he's not ready, he's not ready.

But this is what this guy came from.
