Simon Jordan INSISTS That Gareth Southgate Is Not Worthy Of A Premier League Manager Job! 👀😬 

Everyone jumps on this bandwagon about what we’ve achieved and how we reached 2 euros finals and a semi final, in reality Southgate got easy runs and has choked whenever he’s faced decent opposition.

SJ talking facts. I wouldn’t let the bloke manage my 5 a side team

Forget premier league, he’s not even good enough to get a job in the championship. There’s even been Sheffield Wednesday fans who said that they didn’t want him anywhere close to their club.

Literally every footballer on sky "Southgate must stay". Dawson,carra, Geoff Hurst. What are these on????? Mark palios saying "he has to decide for himself". What????

Southgate is a proven Championship manager .... after all he did relegate Middlesbrough to the Championship.

World class players need a world class coach. It’s as simple as that. We have to look abroad. Throw the chequebook at Klopp for gods sake. There has never been a bigger no brainer in football

the quality of English coaching is shocking.

Simon Jordan is right, he needed to win the Euro's to get a Premier League job, I could possibly see him getting a Job in the Championship though.

Southgate should go and manage a Pizza Hut. Let someone else manage England, someone with a fresher, more attacking approach who isn't afraid to take risks.

If it's an English manager, your choices are basically Howe, Dyche and Potter.

Southgate's runs to the finals/semi finals have been absolutly piss easy. As soon as he has managed us against a side that's a 50/50 match or against a side in the top 10 we've lost

If Southgate had any shame he would've resigned yesterday

Southgate should be nowhere near the Football Association. That would be an act of utter madness.

Simon Jordan is as ever factually spot on,always backs his talk up with plain concise facts like him or hate him delivers a good argument 👍

FYI, i’ve enjoyed watching England more in tournaments when we didnt get as far. Football under Southgate has really been a difficult watch, despite whatever “progress” we’ve made in terms of tournament position

Why didn't Mr Southgate go out and attack the opposition? We needed a pacy left winger (Rashford or Gordon) and a fast No. 9 to stretch the opposition (Watkins). He's too fearful of losing. Too defensive. Over cautious.

SOUTHGATE OUT NOW.

Southgate doesnt have the tactical knowledge to take England all the way to winning a competition. He has gone as far as he can but has come short. Fair enough on him, he has laid good foundations now it needs a coach with the next level.

It’s funny that the pro Southgate mob are always the first ones to say they wouldn’t want him as manager of their club…😏

As a Spain fan, I was so happy to see the team Southgate put out. I was praying that he didn't change the team and was gutted when he took Kane off and then later when he put Palmer on. I thought the game was over at 1-1 as England had all the momentum. I was glad he didn't bring Gordon on as that kept Bellingham on the left where he was not a threat and we dealt with both wings so easily. The media in Spain are creating the team of the tournament, they have 6 Spanish players and no English, or sometimes one (Pickford). It shows how poorly England have played.

If you want a manager who plays shite football, gaslights his critics and loses against any team with a shred of quality, Southgate is your man.

A key point as to why he shouldn’t be a prem manager is that you don’t get extra time in league games. Gareth struggles to win matches in 90 minutes, even against lesser opponents (Slovenia Denmark Slovakia Switzerland). 4 draws, 2 wins and 1 loss with the best team in the league would get you 10 points from 7 games, which would get any top club manager sacked.

You can tell the Hardcore English football fans who have played the game from the casuals who have never played the game, don't understand the game and watch infrequently. The Hardcore know Southgate is rubbish and the Casuals say he's the most successful England manager ever.

Southgate is more suitable for a job as an executive in the FA

This is what will happen: Southgate will make out he's undecided on whether to stay. The FA will offer him even more money. In a month's time Southgate will announce he's staying for another 4 years. We'll be fucked.

Southgate would fit a club like Arsenal perfectly. He could take saka to another level - Portsmouth FC

The "Three Lions song" should be banned as it has become a jinx. Football hasnt come home since we started singing that bloody song, I'm beginning to hate it as much as a Scotsman does.

He’s a championship manager at best. He’s wasted 7 years of our time and talent. 😢😢

Watching the way that England struggled in the two warm up games and in the group stages, against teams ranked 40/ 50th in the world, I thought that people were living in cuckoo land thinking that they could beat Spain in the final. The match stats make sobering reading for Southgate.

Simon is right, I would be happy to see Löw as the next captain. He understands why a good brain is needed for a player.

The Ipswich manager would be a better shout for England tbh

For 8 years Southgate was manager but never had the ability to get the best out of them.Regardless of the fact that we haven't under Southgate had a world class player .Southgate was out of his depth as he never had a plan B.Very lucky to get England job .Can't see a club taking him.

He had a job at Middlesbrough got shot out the door there

England always just seem scared to lose and shocked when a team actually shows up and plays against them.

Did he just say that Potter doesn't have a big personality to win. What does personality have to do about winning. Jus get the system, get the players playing, and go for the win. You don't need a damn personality. You need man and game management. Simply put.

Southgate always plays to negative to scrape a 1-0 win or nick a draw and take it to extra time/penalties, we need a brave attacking manager, not a play it safe boring manager who refuses to take risks, Cole Palmer was one of the best young English premier league players last season yet Gareth only gives him 10mins at the end, start him and give him a chance to show what he can do.

Simon undid everything he said by declaring, “every time we come against a team slightly better than us, we lose”. That’s the end statement. That’s the logic, and the reason. That’s why England didn’t win.

England is international Kane😅

Simon called it Average manager at best

I keep reading and hearing that Southgate "united the nation". Not so, I think he was divisive. The Pundits and Newspapers think he was a great communicator and brought the team together. The fans think he was tactically naive and was always defensively minded. Man Utd did want Southgate a while back and that would have been a disaster. I doubt very much if any Premiership club outside the top 12 at this moment in time would want anything to do with him.

I concur simon , tactics have no place in the mind of Mr Southgate

“Go upstairs to do what?” 😂😂

ive said this for years, Southgate has completely fluked his entire England career. hes a league 2 manager managing international players. he has no idea what he's doing and the English public are as clueless as he is

Southgate is a lovely guy and PR dream for the FA. He's a great man manager but poor tactician. He would never get the better of an equal or better team. If England were to play Spain in the final again tomorrow, his starting line up would not change. Kane would still play. He's the perfect example of a chap who does the same thing yet expects different result.

We had an easy run to the finals and semi that we got to and still failed when we met one good team. Southgate has no clue how to use these players. He played an unfit Kane who's legs have gone and is only scoring when he has two rapid wingers. So what does he do? He doesn't play natural wingers and two guys who come inside which makes Kane useless out there. You cannot just throw your best players in anywhere and expect it to work. You find a system the players can play and everyone is capable of doing to their best. Then you drop who needs to be dropped. You cannot play them all and Foden or Bellingham had to sit it out. Gordon had to go in and Palmer too. But no, let's just stick them all in and hope for the best with no press. Genius

this argument that Southgate has given us better times than any manger since 1966 is pure drivel and nonsense. Never have I seen in this tournament such a talented group of players butcher the beautiful game the way Southgate did with his safety first team selections of players who were clearly not fit and/or tired and his boring cowardly negative tactics. In seven games England probably played decent football for 60 mins and that always nearly came when we went 1 down.

Simon is spot on as usual. It's a fair analysis.

Put it this way. If you fired Southpark and hired Klopp right before the Euros the odds makers would have been massively changed. England would have been heavy favorites. They would have scored 3 to 1 average game. No improvement in defense but high octane rock and roll offense utilized all the players, everything.. 😅😅😅

Potter wasn't the problem at Chelsea the way the board acted was

All the FA wanted was for Gareth to be the face and Steve Holland will run the team fact !!! he accepted the job on the basis he didnt run the team , knowing he is well out of his depth .. but the FA still convinced him to be the face

Be interesting to see if he gets a Prem job. I was wondering what mug of a chairman would take him on? If he does get a prem job I fully expect the team to struggle. Better managers in league 1

Simply put, Southgate is not tactically astute to make the necessary adjustments in match. We see it, time and time again. Nothing will change if he continues as national team manager.

And Simon would be right on this occasion.

Love how Jim has to over explain everything, '...Simon's at London Bridge... in the UK capital'. Cheers for clarifying where London Bridge is👌🏽😂

I think the demands of international and club management is very different. Southgate hasn’t got a style of play and philosophy. He’s a great politician, speaks well, can maintain the harmony which is important when calling up players who all are competitive against each other at club level. But the club game is more cut throat, technical, financial implications are massive and he’s not up to it

I feel sorry for whoever has to suffer his management next. Sets up to defend with top quality attackers. Imagine having Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer, Watkins, at your disposal and you look like you're playing for penalties against the likes of Switzerland, Slovakia and Holland.

Don't look so smug Jim😂

I’d be absolutely devastated if my club hired Gareth Southgate, it would be a total waste of time. He’d be on borrowed time the minute he was hired. It would just be a pending pay off. Boring football.

Heard Southgate's opening a ski jump facility. For the design he's using nature as his inspiration. He gets up, looks in the mirror and then turns his head in, like in a mugshot.

With a stella bunch of players Southgate had at his disposal he should have brought the cup back. He's just not up to it, too ponderous.

League 1 job at best, punditry or manage abroad. Tactics O.O.D!!

Even Greggs would laugh at his CV!

He's not worthy of England job he's not worthy of championship club let alone premier league

Some managers are better at managing at international level than club and the reverse is true. Potter would be ideal and we all know he is holding out for it.

Tbh I can see West Ham and Crystal Palace looking at Southgate if they have a bad start to the season. But Southgate won’t get the sack, and Southgate will only resign if he feels he can get work else where.

English footballers and managers simply don't know how to big tournaments coz none of them have won anything in 60 years. So they would be better off hiring a Juergen Klopp, Guardiola or Zidane to develop that winning mentality.

Southgate will go and get a big prem team job now. He’s done an amazing job with England, no other manager could achieve what he had with such average players

There are plenty of a*seholes in the world of football and Southgate certainly isn’t one of them. He’s been an excellent man-manager who the players have clearly bonded with. I can’t imagine a situation where he would have ever ‘lost the dressing room’. And his understated personality will have really helped the young blood coming into the squad feel at ease immediately. At the very least he deserves a lot of credit for this. Southgate is also evidently an intelligent and considered individual who has helped bring credibility back to the national team. Is English football in a better place than when he took over in 2016? Undoubtedly. Again, he deserves a lot of credit for this. I can’t help feeling that Southgate would make an excellent leader within the F.A. He’s likeable and smart enough to do a lot of good behind the scenes in the world of football. And I’m hoping someone has taken notice of this. But. And the ‘but’ was always coming. He is an average coach from a technical perspective. I think even behind closed doors Southgate would admit this himself, because he’s honest. With the attacking players England have at their disposal they should have been capable of singing from the hymn sheet this tournament in terms of attacking flair, but under Southgate they’ve barely managed a hum. Croatia finished the tournament with a higher xG than England, and they were knocked out at the group stages. I think this says a lot. England’s exploits against Switzerland and the Netherlands were clearly improved. But if we’re being honest, England should have been sent packing after the Slovakia game. Jude Bellingham’s bicycle kick 25 seconds from the final whistle was a Hail Mary moment that you cannot reasonably legislate for. No coach - not even a Sir Alex or a Pep - could credibly come out and claim they played the way they did (and didn’t make the substitutions they didn’t) because they knew Jude would pop up with that right at the death. It was a complete wing and a prayer moment. If you re-ran that phase of play another nine times it would not end up with an England goal. And we would have been out. Normal circumstances would have had England falling at the last 16 stage to Slovakia and the pundits would have been outraged at the latest ‘Iceland’ moment. If this had happened, Southgate would have been absolutely obliterated by the critics for good measure. Southgate has had eight years at the helm and four tournaments. Two European Championship Finals and a World Cup Semi-Final and Quarter-Final to boot. Highly respectable achievements, and regardless of what happens in the coming days and weeks Southgate will go down as one of the most successful modern-day England managers. But if this England squad want to hit the heights - and by that I mean not just win a tournament, but to do it with some modicum of style befitting of the quality of players available - then a better coach is needed. Considering the age of talented players England have at their disposal right now alongside those currently in the youth pipeline, I think they have a window of opportunity to win a tournament between 2026 and 2034. But they’re only going to do that if they have a top-level coach. It’s as simple as that. England need an elite coach to navigate those final stages of a tournament when they inevitably come up against exceptional opposition. This year that opposition was Spain. But in the years to come it could easily be a France, a Portugal, or a resurgent Germany. And that’s just Europe. To win a World Cup it’s also likely you’re going to have to navigate at least one of Brazil and Argentina. And let’s not overlook Colombia who appear to be coming to power again. Southgate has been very effective at navigating opposition who we were expected to beat anyway. But once we’ve come up against top quality opponents we’ve almost always been found wanting. If you were to think of Southgate’s reign as a 110m hurdle race where the starting line represents England at their lowest ebb in 2016 after being knocked out by Iceland, and the finishing line represents World Cup / Euro glory. Southgate has got England all the way to the last hurdle. But he can’t get over it. And we won’t ever be able to get over it. The last leap and the subsequent 15m sprint to the finishing line will need to be completed by another individual who has the acumen to find the right balance and formation for this talented pool of players and the in-game management skills to take the correct risks at the correct times. Does Southgate deserve the level of vitriol he receives from certain quarters? Absolutely not - and Gareth is clearly a decent individual who deserves a lot of respect for the way he’s conducted himself over the last eight years. But that doesn’t mean any criticism against his tactical approach is invalid. Long story short - Southgate is a good egg who has hit his ceiling. He deserves a firm handshake and a pat on the back, but his race is run. The final step for England will have to be taken by someone else.

Southgate couldn't manage a club biscuit, let alone a football club

Southgate should go and take the FA hierachy with him, rewarding mediocrity with another long term contract is bonkers.

The last English Coach who won something was Harry Redknapp with Portsmouth When they picked up the FA Cup Not exactly stacked with talent

Been here before, after the last WC, and the same things were being said,. But the FA ( tone deaf) will continue with GS & will continue to reward failure. Yes, getting to a final is not success, people.

Sell anything as long we win something

How’s Southgate gonna manage a top club when he doesn’t agree with the high press? Or wanting to be. N underdog at a club with massive expectations?

He has I mean dealing with the pressure alone and winning a large amount of his matches under that pressure means he could definitely manage teams outside the top 7 or 8.

I concur with Simon.

He already managed in the premier league! For two seasons 👀👍 and done well.

He failed at BORO. He’s barely good enough for Division 1

Who wants Southgate to be there next club manager not many if any do

Simon saying that Southgate is basically unemployable, which is harsh. Having said that, he could do worse than go to a medium sized club in the doldrums in the Championship, and guide them back to the Prem and keep them there (eg a WBA, Sunderland, Blackburn etc).

Can't help but think we have been spoiled by success, the lad has come along and constantly got us far! Nobody has suggested Southgate is learning! I have been against Southgate but the proof is in the pudding

Quite simply he doesn't have an elite mind set nor has he got any credibility when it comes to winning anything, he was the same as a player and same as a manager (highlight was getting Middlesbrough relegated), and people forget that he got the England job by default being the u21 coach due to Big sams cockup in the short time he was manager. In short England need Klopp or someone of that ilk!

I agree, Man utd dodged a bullet in regards to Southgate becoming their manager

He’s right ,he’s not an elite coach

It doesn't matter who is brought in no manager we bring in will win a trophy. We are deluded to think otherwise. Spain were missing Gavi, pedri and Rodri for a half and still could of scored 4 or 5 on the night.

He's a Championship manager, put in charge of England.. That's basically what it is.

I'm club before country every day and Southgate has been linked (by the over-excited press) with my club. With that in mind I'd love to see him be awarded a new 50 year contract with the national team. Southgate is a repeated loser - and I'm not trying to be mean - just by definition that he has never won. The FA love him because he is a yes-man but just listen to him speak; he couldn't inspire me to leave a burning building.

If it was a struggling team who just needed to barely stay up by being hard to score on. 0-0 is a good result for him

We need a foreign coach. I have watched 40 years of tournament defensive football were they have to play name and the only tactics is hoof it up the pitch and no dribbling or attacking allowed. Portugal suffer with playing g "names" but they can pass the ball. We finished 23rd ranked in Euro 24 by BBC analysis. 23rd!

Lee Carsley has EARNED a shot at the job. Give it to him now ffs.

Judge Gareth on the easy draws and pathways we got with him being manager, not the two finals we got to, any manager could have got us the two Euro's finals with the easy draws we got, if we were in the other side of the draw we wouldn't have made the semi's

Lee Carsley is gonna be the next English manager. Company man. At least he plays great, possession based football

Is Simon Jordan that geezer that does that end of advert "Your home may be at risk if you don't keep up repayments Terms and conditions apply" voice-over matey

Because we want a fast fix. England is small, the world is big. Easy to continue to simply pick already finished products as managers but if we really want to produce world class english managers we need to give them a chance and quite clearly they dont get a look in and havnt for the past 15 years or so.

Agreed. I was hoping that he was going to be offered and would accept the Man U job - no offense red devils fans but that would have have put you out of the frame for 24/25 premier title.

only 1 manager has ever won a euros or world cup with a country that wasnt their own. greece in 2004 with a german manager.

the only time I see SJ talk sense 🤣🤣🤣

Simon just talk Simon, what does that even mean? Southgate is not worth premier league ? 😂😂😂 so all premier league manager have won a cup to deserve a club in the prem ?, what are we taking about are we like 5 year olds ?

Have we had better times ? Yes we got to finals but at no point did we enjoy those moments . Anyone tell me they watched this euros and were enthralled

He'd fit in at Tottenham
