For the very reasons you have mentioned above, is why it’s a no from me. He’s just not brave enough when it matters.
If not Southgate, then who? Personally I'd want an English man to be the England coach, who do we have, Howe,Potter, not sure they'd want it yet. Cooper, more to prove yet. Gerrard, Lampard, no thanks. No fan of Southgate but I'm struggling to think who would take over?
Not overly fussed about European Championships as to me the World Cup trumps all. With that in mind the worst time to change manager is at the start of WC qualifying you would have thought ? Now Southgate is staying he really should do the next 4 year cycle (3 and a half) and then we change after 2026.
To me it dilutes it but not critical of anyone who's happy to accept it. Personally I hated having Sven at the realm.
And the Euro's final v Italy. I'll give him the Croatia semi as we weren't all that, but we should be current Euro champions about to play in world cup final. And the reason we're not is Southgate's (mis)management of second half substitutions and ridiculous caution.
Le Frog can be backed at almost 2/1 on betfair. Christmas has come early imo, can only see one outcome here.
