5 reasons why Gareth Southgate should get the England job

He’s calm, composed, and exactly what the FA needs after Big Sam

With everything that went on with regards to Allardyce in the few days leading up to his departure, the FA needed someone they could trust to steady the ship after a turbulent few weeks.

That man, if thus far has proven, is Southgate.

He is familiar with the way things are run based on his time with the Under-21’s, and he has dealt with everything in an assured and confident manner, including the decision to drop captain Wayne Rooney for the Slovenia match.

He deals excellently with the media, and conveys a calm persona which can only benefit the FA in what has been a difficult few weeks and months.
