Re: In todays news...
Imo, an Englishman to manage the national side is the right way, problem is, there ain't any up for it.
Don't matter in the league, foreign players and all that, but a squad of English man with an English manager does make sence to me.

Re: In todays news...
Agreed it should have been an Englishman. I don't really follow football so not exactly versed in managerial choices, but I gather him being a German isn't a WW2 issue , or suchlike, more that they are our biggest rivals. Sort of fox in charge of the chicken coop if you will. I imagine there'd be equal furore if Southgate started managing Germany!

Re: In todays news...
Makes no difference who manages the England team, when 50+ % of players (conservative guess on my part) in the English league teams are from foreign shores then the country team will always be at a disadvantage.
Anyway football is a business not a sport, so holds as much interest as watching an episode of the apprentice for me.

As I read the DM article, they're disgusted that a forriner has been appointed, but would have been ok with a forriner called Pep.

They might respect the memory of the former owner, Lord Rothermere - a bit at least. He was mates of Adolf and Benito and guided the paper to support them. He probably wouldn't have worried much.
No sense of history some 'newspapers'.

Re: In todays news...
Southgate got England further than they've got in 5 or 6 decades, more than once, yet he's still a failure who had to quit apparently. So I'm not surprised that people don't want the job.

The Soul of Britain is already dead, so I suppose it doesn't really make much difference.

Probably good to employ the best person for the job rather than be swayed by Brexity racialists.
