""To Mike: I don't follow our club football very closely these days (I like the way it was, too - i.e., mostly locals in MEANINGFUL competition), but whenever I hear Gareth Southgate interviewed he seems to me a good football manager..?""

Hi wav

I think I would have agreed with you had he managed Middlesbrough more successfully. He was given every chance there with one of the most patient and understanding chairmen in the game. But in the end though he didn't want to get rid of Southgate the bad results and the fans staying away forced his hand.

Cheers
