  1. 0:42 Re Southgate’s hypothesis: Maybe. I think he’s right in some ways – too much money so too many voices and hands in the pie; add to that 24/7 press/social media, & there’s no escape. However, it depends on the MAN. It’s not for the weak, GS!!!!

    (Nice of Jim to disregard Parkinson’s Law because he doesn’t understand it)

  2. 5:25 Leader, Manager, Coach – GS is right here for England. No need to really coach, they’re the best players; manage? Yes. The ones who are disappointed, and some disciplinary issues etc. Lead – definitely.

  3. Man United fans are saying that Gareth Southgate wouldn't be a good fit for Man United. Nonsense, he would be a good fit for Man United – a perfect fit, in fact. He is exactly the right man they need at the moment, to sink the ship and get them relegated to the championship. I can't think of a manager, who would be more up to the task of achieving that elusive goal, that no Man United manager has been able to achieve since the 1970s. By God, it's been a long time coming. Could someone please step up and bring back the glory days back to Manchester City?

  4. Brilliant, Simon. Southgate is a chancer. Did nothing as a club manager. Got massively favourable World Cup / European Finals stages draws with England, and did the barest minimum with them. People happy with what he did with England are part of the problem. The man is a charlatan and simpering yes-man.

  5. Manchester United’s owners are the real problem and demise of the club at every level, it’s only really been brought to light since Sir Alex Ferguson retired and that’s blatantly obvious, the club will always be living in the past for ever more, and it’s proving so by interviewing past ‘Players’ for the manager/head coach position is pointless, a waste of everyone’s time and money, these players haven’t proven themselves managing in the premier league.

    There’s a lot of articles, speculation, debates and analysis on the club especially more so today, that I don’t even watch or listen too, simply because nothing has changed and certainly no signs of changing any time soon, maybe the owners will decide to sell when the team aren’t winning any trophies and are no longer qualifying for the champions league, their cash reserves are so depleted that even the Glazers can’t be taking there thieving inflated share of the profits of which pays for there lifestyle’s, we can only dream I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

  6. Southgate is a specialist in failure. He’s ideal for Ineos who don’t want titles or trophies and only want 5th place every season. It’s the Arsenal model under Wenger in the end, they needed money to build the stadium and they were content at board level with Wenger getting top 4 and never needing to dig deep to buy the players to challenge for a league title.

  7. It's easy for most people to think everyone who's managed England is useless, because of the relentless negative publicity which surrounds the job from our press. Southgate was relatively successful compared to other England managers but it's hard to shake the image built by the media. If he had money to spend and not just one nationality to choose from, he could do a fantastic job.

  8. Everyone has already decided that Southgate would be a failure at Utd. Honestly, Utd have tried everything, Southgate could be the key to them getting back to where the fans expect them to be

  9. lot of southgate bashing, but since 66, hes been the most successful england manager, along with bobby Robson, whether you like him or not, these are facts.

    man u have had everybody under the sun, from serial winner mourinho, van gaal, moyes amorin and the rest, NO ONE HAS succeeded.

    currebt best mangers in recent time pep, klopp, maybe enrique, doubt any of them will come so the rest are in same boat…

    the real issue is the players are not good enuf, and at least 8 new players are needed, complete 5 year rebuild 1 solid manager, keep him on for 5 years
