Duel role without England until the summer.

Shame to lose a coach who has been with us for so long?

Is it just me or is this a bizarre career move for him? I guess in his head he's thinking that once he's in the senior England fold, then he'll be in line to get the big job once Southgate's gone which will inevitably happen after the World Cup or next Euros at a push, and he's never going to get the main job at ours, but surely having the role he's held with us for so long is a bigger job in football nowadays than the one he's leaving us for.
Seems strange he can't just keep combining the roles full-time as well.

Talk of feeding information to CFC re Spurs players may have something to do with it mate. Perhaps forced hands to separate the roles he plays.

Perhaps, but then there's been loads of examples of coaches and even managers who've combined full time club roles with national teams.
If he was forced to choose, still a bit strange to choose the England role IMHO unless he fears Roman is due one of his sacking moods sometime soon
