Prince of Wales has paid a great tribute

He’s a first class man and he’s something that a lot of men aren’t and that’s a kind and caring man and not afraid to show feelings He has shown the youngsters in the team to not be afraid of a cuddle and to accept defeat by caring for each other
He’s a man who is not afraid to show feelings and I love that about him
I hope he does get a knighthood he has ruled with kindness and you can see how that has rubbed off on the young players

Well said, Bluebelle

He's a true gentleman and has brought so much to the game in ways that some who may criticise him have no clue about.

Decency, honour and kindness as well as bringing the team back from the doldrums.

A thankless job, he has received nothing but insults from ex footballers, I would have loved to see if they could have done better.

He has got them to the final twice, it is then up to the footballers themselves. But like my husband would say, I am the boss so I carry the can.

I sure he will get a knighthood. Hopefully it was fully his decision to leave.

I think Frank Lampard would be good.

He deserves a knighthood.

That's such a shame, he was such a good manager and made all the right decisions

Jaxjacky Tue 16-Jul-24 13:42:03

I’m not surprised and would like to see Eddie Howe take his place, he’s young and has a history of success.

Indeed Bridie. I hope he is Visgirl he certainly deserves to be.

Joseann Tue 16-Jul-24 13:29:43

Hopefully it was his decision alone. It would be horrible to see him sacked.

Visgir1 Tue 16-Jul-24 13:26:32

I expect he will be Sir Gareth soon and good luck to him.

Bridie22 Tue 16-Jul-24 13:08:37

He has been a first class player and manager , deserves some praise for what he achieved within the England camp and team.

Nandalot Tue 16-Jul-24 12:59:54

Exactly*Grannybags*. He brought the team up incredibly. We had been dire before.

Grannybags Tue 16-Jul-24 12:44:34

I don't blame him. No praise for getting to the finals twice just blame for not winning

I wonder who will be next? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Sorry to hear Gareth Southgate has quit as England manager. He said it was an honour and he gave it his all but time for a new chapter.
Good luck to him whatever he does. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
