I'd rather Southgate get one than that Beckham
a joke but we know its worthless years ago
Looks like knighthood has become nothing more than a participation trophy.
Country is pathetic rewarded for failure typical of this place and hes just the type isnt he # ridiculous
Look at his club record. Simon is right
As a manc the fact that Bob paisley doesn't have a knighthood is diabolical
Serve 20+ years in the UK military get nothing, fail with England consistently get a knighthood 😳.
So a manager who wins a trophy gets the sack, a manager who wins nothing gets knighted. We really are through the looking glass
Southgate is deserving of this award, just as much as many others who get knighted.
England national team was terrible for years. Zero cohesion and depressingly unsuccessful.
Gareth was highly successful, falling agonisingly short on many occasions.
Screw the haters in the comments
It's a matter of IDENTY, you should be worried when the Pak**is start getting knighted, then you've lost your kingdom for sure. Let those with ears hear.
Gareth Southgate ranks among the top England managers with a win percentage of 59.8%. Only 5 managers outrank him. Besides Ramsey, only Gareth Southgate has taken England to major tournament finals, reaching both Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 finals. Under Southgate, England are the only team in Europe to have reached the quarter-finals of the last four major tournaments (FIFA World Cup 2018, UEFA EURO 2020, FIFA World Cup 2022 and UEFA EURO 2024). Southgate has the best win record at major tournaments among England managers. Southgate has won more knockout games (7) than all England managers combined since 1966 (6).
While Southgate's win percentage places him 5th among England managers, this statistic doesn't tell the complete story. Fabio Capello's higher win percentage came largely from beating weaker opposition in qualifying, but England disappointed at major tournaments under him. Southgate led England to their first World Cup semi-final since Italia '90 in 2018, their first major tournament final since 1966 at Euro 2020 and their first-ever final on foreign soil at Euro 2024. He's led the Three Lions to more major tournament finals than every other England manager in history…combined.
So yeah, he did f*ck all for England. With this level of graditude, sacking him, spitting on him, I hope England never win a major tournament because you don't deserve it!
What a summary from Mr Jordan top lad you analysis ❤
He has been groomed for the WEF. Politics next. Its all a game, no pun intended.
Why was there no Sir Brian Clough??? With the exception of Sir Alex ferguson, He Won more at Club Level than all The other Football manager Knights Combined
A nearly man who ticked boxes .
His political correctness is second to none
Usually being knighted for something in sport means you have achieved the highest acolades there are. It took Alex Ferguson to win a treble to achieve it as an example. At the dame time other have been associated with football for such a long time and got one because of how much they gave to the sport or how they were ambassadors at a global level like many of the winners of the 1966 world cup would go on to be knighted or someone like David Beckham who has probably done way more to promote the sport worldwide and for charity than Southgate has.
Southgate getting to finals and losing shouldn't be celebrated in that kond of manor or it means the expectations of what is constantly called a group of world class players by the media is so low that not achieving anything is considered a success now.
They believe they got quality
Emgland is the land of dreams …the only country you get rewarded for finish second.
Much like Tim Henman, won nothing of merit as a player yet got rewarded.
If everyone got a medal for constantly finishing 2nd, Arteta would have loads of them 🤔
I wonder how many top level clubs would consider hiring this footballing knight?
Completely agree, he won nowt….iteas the players who did the work, he was as useless as a flat tyre….England loves a loser as Nigel Benn once said.
Sir dick head , get rid of knighthoods
The honours system is a bit of a joke anyway. Politicians don't get honours for success; they get it for service; ie they have mates who dole out awards. So why not knight sportspeople for their services, rather than their successes. Awarding sportspeople is an easy option these days anyway. They're uncontroversial people. Writers and thinkers tend to be problematic. We're a nation of thickoes anyway.
Once again failure has been awarded he led us to 2 finals but didn't have the balls to win either of them Beckham has been a brilliant ambassador for the UK and England and thoroughly deserves recognition but not this idiot
No wonder we don't win anything when we reward failure.
England…celebrate glorious failures..just like this government
Abject failure, couldn't even beat Croatia
Rewarding mediocrity
Not a Celtic fan,, but Jock Stein & a bunch of guys from a 30 mile radius of Glasgow, did the impossible in 1967,,, didnt see any knighthoods handed out . Meanwhile the number of ex England players are racking up every year for nothing!!
He won the hearts of typical delusional English fans
😂😂😂
One good thing when he's knighted, hes well used to kneeling.
