remember Carsley from his Ireland days, always a solid player. Gr8 to see him succeed as a manager too.
didnt think we’d pull off the euro U21s, but Carsley proved us wrong, hope he stays.
Wonder which clubs are looking at Carsley. man’s got talent, he’d be a loss for U21’s.
He was great at Everton, not surprised hes doing well with the U21’s. good luck to him whatever he decides.
what a tourney it was! Carsley’s done a bang-up job with the lads, hate to see him go tho 🙁
