Alan Smith reacts to Gareth Southgate resigning as England manager 

Opposing managers will be sad to see him go, an utterly clueless manager

1966 aside England's only knockout wins in their entire history were Belgium, Paraguay, Ecuador, denmark, cameroon and Spain. Spain was on penalties and after being a worse team. We are clearly a 'best of the rest' team. And typically nowhere near A tier nations. Southgate has won more knockout games than all other managers combined. Including wins in 90mins against Netherlands and Germany. 2 finals, a semi final and a well played quarter final to France in 6 years. We can now back up our words with results. Thank you Gareth

@@theoracle8560keep crying. Says more about you. The guy steps down yet u still find something to moan about. Whoever takes the England job they have to know they will be unfairly criticized and judged. Probably why no decent manager would touch this job with a pole of stick.

@@theach84 I’m not crying, I’m laughing and celebrating since Sunday, has if come home yet??? Oh I almost forgot, it’s coming Madrid 😂😂😂😂. Maybe Big Sam will come back..

@@theoracle8560you are crying. Moaning is crying.

So true!

And there is 30 million people who could

@@leehaslam5751 and you are definitely one of them 😂

@@farmerwright absolutely i could win more than 2 games in 7 in 90 mins against the likes of slovenia,slovika,swiss,serbia etc

No he just scored against wales and scotland ffs

@@Oakdenalan 4 dream draws. A lot of England teams in the past would have won against the teams Gareth came up against. Gareth loses every time he comes up against a team that is on our level or slightly lower. Today's England is not the England of even 15 years ago. Do you know how successful the Premier League is and how much money that has flooded into English sports because of that? Do you know how successful England is in international tournaments in general? Rugby World Cup, Cricket World Cup (2019), 2nd in the Olympics in Rio -- 2nd, beating China! The standards in England today are far higher than they were in 1999. Many of the best players and coaches ply their trade in England, that wasn't the case decades ago. If you remeber, the stadiums were crumbling and the leagues were in financial trouble. Today, I go to an Indian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur on a Saturday night and 50 people are watching the Liverpool game. We deserve a lot more than Gareth's poor quality football.

@@andrewpearson5504 absolute nonsense, past England teams floundered and 100% would have done against modric Croatia in 2018, against Germany 2021 and Netherlands 2024. I doubt Sven or capello would even have beaten Denmark in 2021 or the swiss in 2024.

​@Oakdenalan took a penalty to beat Denmark and even that was missed and a laser light shone in kaspers eyes to cheat that game ,Danes again should have won ,southgate is rubbish period

​@@Oakdenalanhe continued to play kane ahead of Watkins and Toney even after admitting kane wasn't fully fit. Are you seriously defending that ?

Exactly. Last 4 tournaments we have had the easiest draws possible and still not won anything. People saying Southgate has done well? We should have won the last 2 Euros and got to the final in Qatar and Russia.

Our talent didn't drag us anywhere in 2004 or 2006. This narrative that these players are 'so good' they win despite the manager is ridiculous. Our 2006 team was better, had an 'elite' manager and yet did worse....

@@Astrophobia88 why should we, we'd never even reached a final in all our history (1966 aside)

@@Oakdenalan Apples and oranges. The team in 2004 and 2006 didn't get the draw that this team did and the other teams were arguably better at that time.

@@caldepen372 the 'draw' that saw us beat Germany in knockout game for the first time since 1966?. The 'draw' that saw us beat Netherlands, a country with many more finals/ semi finals appearances than us?

yeah beckham and others were just collecting paycheck -_- gtfo

Before you came here you were watching Mark Goldbrige 🙂

@@paulpeterson5147 yep ☺️

😂 Bruh, it's already a slow Tuesday, no need to twist the knife further.

They're made for each other I can't wait for Gareth to take over at OT.

Klopp will manage Germany. He wouldn't want the aggravation of managing England.

Klopp will never ever be interested in winning a trophy for England

Why not Zidane?

Much more like manager of Germany.

@@johnmichaelson9173 LiVARpool is a washed club, I get why u want Southgate to Man Utd so badly because ur scared of ETH 😂

@@BigSmokeMUFC "scared of ETH"😂 Is that even a thing?

which united,dont think he has done himself any favours with his style of play if you mean manchester united

That's an evil comment, smh.

I wouldn't say the laughing stock of the world. We have been to 2 finals in 3/4 years but couldn't get it over the line. There is no shame in that but disappointment.

Laughing at us, but you yourself didn’t get to the final in first place.

@@RA-wp6th 😂😂😂😂I am English. And what did I say that wasn't true?

@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669 Why is “the world” laughing when they exited in the group stage?

We were the laughing stock of the world until Southgate. People believing a different manager will suddenly make us win everything, despite Sven and capello doing poorly, have short memories

None of our guys get the top jobs so what do we expect? The Premier league doesn't care about international football. They think they're more important because of money...

An element of truth in that. If the football nations are the ones who win tournaments then Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and Italy are the real ones.

He's irish isn't he 😮

Who cares

Neither would want it
