Time for some actual success, so his time is up as England Manager.

Although if there's such a job as a where he can maintain and expand on the environment he's created in the camp, whilst staying well away from the touchline, I'll be happy for that to happen.

Time to go. He's done a lot of good for England, however I don't think his approach is correct to win major tournaments or get the best out of all the players we have (or excite the crowds even though this isn't necessary to win a tournament but a nice to have). He's defensive minded and clearly does a lot of reflection and analysis, but his conclusions and what is produced on the pitch is left wanting. He's reached the limits of his ability with England.

I would rather lose playing exciting football, then win by boring the opponents to death, time to push off.

Time to go, like Roy with us, did a good job, but you can only go so far playing like that and then it just becomes tedious game after game, especially when it’s not working anymore.
He’s had four goes at it and with other top nations not being that great over the last ten years or so, we’ll never have had a better chance of winning something, so he’s had his chance

I think his legacy will greatly improve as time passes - completely raised the bar as to what we expect going into tournaments and certainly given me the best tournament experiences of my lifetime.

A hugely underrated coach whose impact will be best highlighted when we start crashing out of tournaments early again.

Having said that, I think it's the right time to move on.

Nice bloke and all that, with good Palace history, but he's right to pack it in now and give someone else a go. He made too many mistakes in selection, tactics, substitutions and general game management.

It's a tough role these days with such high expectations and constant social media criticism focusing on every detail.

Anyway, thanks for giving it your best Gareth and b****y good luck to whoever takes the job. He'll need it for sure!

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Southgate is an honourable man so I'm not surprised he's done the decent thing and stepped back to let someone else have a go. I hope the FA take their time to choose his successor.

It’ll be very interesting to see how many Premiership clubs rush in to sign him. I somehow don’t think the queue will be that long.

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

There is next to no correlation between successful club managers and successful international ones - I'd hope we have figured that out by now.
