Gareth Southgate could win Euro 2024 and still not sway his England critics 🔎 Analysis by danielstorey85 via iPaperSport
In cycles past, criticism of the England manager was mitigated by the character of their players. The difference now is not in the quality of the squad , but the manner in which they seem to embrace playing for their country. Gone are the big club cliques, gone are the egos and gone are the Ballon d’Or podium finishers. England are, in every sense, a team. And while Southgate deserves credit for creating that culture, it now punishes him.
You wonder, then, whether the barbs, the slinging arrows and social media curses, say more about Southgate’s audience than him. Certainly, his approval rating is far higher amongst regular match-going England supporters than those who opine online.
When it was suggested to Southgate that this would be his last tournament cycle as England manager, he responded, smiling: “Well that depends if we win!” When asked if that meant victory in the final in Germany next summer would persuade him to stay on, he said: “Let’s just hope we’ve got that opportunity to make that decision.”
