This is why I stopped buying newspapers - they are not happy unless they are dishing out the dirt. Just let him get on with managing England over the next few games and judge him on results. These jounos that write muck like this probably have much bigger skeletons in their own closets.
Gareth Southgate relegated the only club he managed in his only full year of management experience. In his first year he didnt even have the requisite coaching badges required and controversial was allowed to continue.
He had budget as well. He spent 20 million Euros on one player..... a player who within 18 months of being signed, was playing in the second of bottom team in the Qatar First Division because he was deemed so bad, he couldnt even get a contract at a League Two side.
His record as a manager is terrible. His record at judging players is terrible. He has virtually no experience.
Quite how he is anywhere near the England senior team role is beyond me.
The press rightfully should be attacking this utterly unfathomable appointment in any which way possible.
