Jack Grealish

The boss pleaded with Jack and his family that the lad stay with Ireland. But it's too late now-you can't change your international allegiance twice ! "

Southgate wasn't happy about his antics during lockdown. Hardly a surprise

That story is ongoing and it seems to fairly bleak with his sister getting injected by two Albanians and then her fainting. Followed by the police threatening to end his career. It's a messed up situation. https://twitter.com/marthakelner/status/1298203118115663872

Southgate takes a dim view of stupid immature behaviour by rich and privileged pro footballers and doesn't want insouciant dickheads who can't be trusted about the place. Grealish fits that bill, he has a lot of embarrassing history and he's not a working class lad who made it the hard way coming up the leagues or ever had to work for a living at a real job. Might also explain why the big clubs have been unwilling to date to push the boat out financially to sign him, despite his obvious ability. On the other hand, if the new rules should miraculously result in him returning to the green jersey, ignore all of the above, smile benignly, start using terms like "broth of a boy" and "devil-may-care Irish rogue" to describe him and crack open a bottle of Guinness while singing along to the Wolfe Tones.

Even if he could switch back the idea should not be entertained, he made his decision let him live with it......in the long run I think it will be proved to have been the wrong decision, I always thought it would take him a long time to break in with England ...the longer that goes the harder it will get, he's 24 now they will always have a long production line of exciting attacking talent better than he could ever be ....already they have underage players attracting multi million interest from huge European clubs ......he didn't even attract England interest at underage level

He made his bed

can he potentially switch back?
