WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Fans are not particularly taken with that proposal, with <a href="https://x.com/HowUBenFeller/status/1811185143799025868" target="_blank">@HowUBenFeller</a> responding to said suggestion with: “Southgate is the 2nd worst manager in the world... So it'd still be an upgrade”. Another supporter, <a href="https://x.com/ArseneCoat_FC/status/1811216757253681351" target="_blank">@ArseneCoat_FC</a>, said “stop it, we don’t want another boring manager”, while <a href="https://x.com/MikeBowman3/status/1811185139981885747" target="_blank">@MikeBowman3</a> added “don’t you even curse us like that”. <a href="https://x.com/KyleGetsome/status/1811204706397458930" target="_blank">@KyleGetSome</a> said: “Please dear god no…. Southgate is nothing but berhalter with better talent. They are politicians. Not football managers.” <a href="https://x.com/PSG_Seattle/status/1811220690944860663" target="_blank">@PSG_Seattle</a> added: “I didn’t think there was a worst option but here it is.”</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Southgate is not currently available, as he has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-winners-losers-england-manager-substitutions-ollie-watkins-netherlands-var-euro-2024-semi-final/blt4439f7d5f7c4f097" target="_blank">guided England to the final of Euro 2024</a>. His contract is due to expire at the end of the year, but there has been plenty of talk regarding a severing of ties with the Three Lions regardless of how a continental clash with Spain on Sunday plays out.</p>
