Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman’s been touted to succeed Gareth Southgate and these (male) England fans’ fury is a fabulously funny read
Now that Gareth Southgate has resigned as England manager having taken England to their first final of a major tournament on foreign soil, capping a magnificently successful eight years in the job, all thoughts turn to who will succeed him.
And to the list of possible successors who are said to include Eddie Howe, Thomas Tuchel, Lee Carsley and Mauricio Pochettino comes someone who has taken the England football team to a major final and won.
Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman, that is, according to reports today.

Here’s what Siegman had to say about it: ‘I think it’s really inappropriate to have that conversation. I’m with the Lionesses and very happy.’ So very much not a no, then.
And the possibility meant many people’s thoughts turned to one person in particular. You remember – Joey Barton.
would be so good – she’s a better manager than Southgate plus it would make Joey Barton explode into a giant ham as a bonus. https://t.co/99TrF3yorK

And not only Barton.
I would love to see this, if only to watch the heads of so many man-babies explode. https://t.co/lll7l8wPXs

If I see anyone mention Sarina Wiegman as a potential option to replace Gareth Southgate, they are getting both reported and blocked.
