Southgate

[Red Rag]

Of all the managers touted on this forum I think Southgate would

be the one of the best suited to work long term with SL. Southgate

had a great working relationship with Gibson at Boro. Gibson

from what I have seen seems to be very much like SL, in it

for the long run and not prone to off the cuff and gut reations.

Southgate I am sure would not upset the apple cart too much

and would willingly work with the chairmans long term stratagy.

He would also have very good contacts and experience of

prem football. I for one would not be disapointed with his selection

[JohnerzBCFC]

the man turned a mid table prem side to a average championship team he should burn all of his coaching badges.

and he missed a pen for england

He also managed to spend a lot of money getting Boro relegated. It's a testament to him that the side have never really looked like they've been serious promotion contenders this season. He has a 'win rate' as a manager of 29%....

So, that's a no from me to the medieval gargoyle lookalike.

Not my first choice, but think you are being a little harsh!! He was not given a chance at boro IMO.

The FACT is Boro were 4th when he was sacked!! Look at them now.......

Not given a chance He turned them from UEFA Cup Finalists to relegation in 3 years, what more chance does one need?!!

I posted this a few weeks back, everything I heard previously about Southgate coming was reiterated on Tuesday night, I wouldn't at all be suprised to see this come to fruition.
