Football analysis with attitude.
Mediawatch naively thought we were beyond the days of Sam Allardici and pretending that being English is a barrier to being appointed by an elite football club, especially with Chelsea appointing two Englishmen in the last two years and an Englishman being in charge of one of the richest clubs in the world.
Aside from the issue of his Englishness, would Southgate be the popular choice at United. We live in the football era of the cult of personality and, even though Southgate has plenty of personality, it is not the kind that those who shout the loudest warm to. Managing England is one of the only jobs that could prepare a coach for managing United and Southgate has been doing just that for more than seven years. He has taken everything his critics have thrown at him and he has thrived.the pitch to consider. Managing Manchester United is not all about man-management, diplomacy and taking criticism; it’s also about coaching, tactical innovations and recruitment. And there is literally nothing to suggest that Southgate excels in any of those areas. None.
Holt consistently makes the point that Southgate has revitalised England without a single reference to any tactical innovation. And nor does he suggest that he could bring that to Manchester United. So what could he bring?
