Took the words right out of my mouth. Of course it's a mess. It's England. Don't care to offend, so I won't say much, but I feel England has long overvalued it's football team's worth. That's rather delicately put, no?
Southgate is mitigating the hit on his rep. He's been with England since when? After leaving Boro? It's a cushy job managing the Unders, and if he doesn't get the full gig he's surely trying to protect his day job.
The real question is, if not him, then who?
