I truly anticipation this is not the end, we are getting amended and improving, decorativeness what you started. However, if you determine to measurement away, acknowledgment for everything, this has been the astir enjoyable play of my beingness pursuing England by a distance.

Mark Elders, 60, Haworth: You person the astir palmy triumph ratio of immoderate England manager successful history. All the antagonistic comments we work are written by radical who bash not cognize thing astir shot and they surely bash not recognize tourney shot and wherefore it is truthful antithetic to the league shot we ticker week successful week out. The England manager's occupation is simply a footballing relation dissimilar immoderate different and needs a precise peculiar benignant of idiosyncratic with exceptional and unsocial endowment and cognition to fulfil it. You person built a squad of players who recognize that playing for England is an honour and an accidental that lone a fewer footballers get the accidental to fulfil. I americium not lone a shot instrumentality but I americium a instrumentality of football, and successful the past 50 years of watching the crippled I tin honestly accidental that determination has ne'er been an England squad and a squad of players arsenic bully arsenic the 1 you person created, and you tin spot however overmuch each of those players privation to play for you.

By past this radical of young men, your group, volition beryllium astatine their peak, and I, similar millions of different England fans, privation you to pb them there!

Tim Bailey, 60, Anglesey: The level of positivity from the supporters, the respect for the absorption and squad has ne'er been truthful high. It's not astir winning each tournament, it's astir hard enactment and content which England fans, absorption and this squad person successful abundance. Team tone is what gets results. A large woody of luck is besides required. It's ne'er been truthful good, delight transportation on. It would beryllium astonishing to triumph a tourney but it's specified a precocious expectation.

You person done astonishing with this squad but much importantly the level of care, compassion and loyalty you amusement your players erstwhile they request it most, (against the wishes of the property and the "baying mobs") is truthful admirable, ne'er change.

Martin Radich, 49, Blackpool: Gareth, I tin recognize your request to bespeak upon this decision. Football fans person outlandish expectations and if they are not met past their criticisms are vitriolic successful the astir crudest and unhealthiest mode possible. I'm hopeful 1 time these archaic attitudes volition beryllium eradicated and replaced by a much knowing and progressive effect to a elemental crippled of football. In the meantime Gareth, I'm asking you delight to enactment connected arsenic England manager. It has been an exceptionally agelong clip - if ever - that I've been genuinely arrogant of an England squad and its set-up. You and you unsocial are liable for this transformation. Winning a trophy is not the full intent of sport. What is important is having a squad that plays creatively and has its players beryllium respectful of others and themselves; these endeavours bespeak good connected England. I'm not definite erstwhile the past clip an England squad was respected elsewhere but I perfectly judge it is now. You and your unit illicit dignity Gareth. Please support warring the bully fight.

Rodney Towers, 83, Burton Leonard: Yes, Qatar indispensable person been a immense idiosyncratic disappointment but the information is Gareth has made an arsenic immense publication to rebuilding and fielding a large squad of recently dedicated players, who person responded brilliantly to his 'England Team' management. My consciousness for the nationalist temper successful North Yorkshire is delight don't springiness up. We are wholly supportive of your continuing arsenic the champion England manager we person had for a precise agelong time. Stay connected with this radical of England footballers and your astir palmy clip has yet to come.

Kwai, 51, Northants: Don't beryllium excessively results-oriented. Let's bask the process of getting bully astatine tourney football. This England broadside is improving. The England broadside beaten by France would person beaten the Italian broadside successful the Euro last past year. My proposal to Southgate is spell and speech to Andy Murray. Ask him however did helium travel to presumption with losing 4 expansive slam finals successful consecutive sets? What did Lendl accidental to him to marque him a three-times Grand Slam champion?

Jane Dan, 61, Manchester: Mr Southgate - you are a antheral who understands however to negociate a nationalist team. You person present got each subordinate moving unneurotic arsenic a unit, not arsenic individuals who hap to beryllium connected the aforesaid pitch, wearing the aforesaid shirt. That successful itself is nary mean feat erstwhile you person players who tin radiance for themselves alternatively than for their team. You are idiosyncratic who has affectional quality - a uncommon happening successful shot management. You recognize your players' characters and however to get the champion from them. You are imaginative, originative and forward-thinking successful the mode you physique up your players truthful arsenic they volition springiness of their best. You are grounded, humble and respectful successful the mode you respond to interrogation questions and to the views of pundits. It would beryllium a large nonaccomplishment were you to resign.

LEAVE

Rob Clarke, 74, Chile: You're a bully bloke. You'd marque a beauteous Primary School headteacher. You're not a shot manager, due to the fact that due shot managers privation to win, not conscionable suffer politely. Compare yourself with Klopp oregon the caller England cricket absorption set-up.

Arshad Ishaq, 52, Stockton-on-Tees: Once again a apical squad beats america successful a quarter-final. The semi-final successful Russia was disappointing, a immense accidental missed. Euro last lost. Let's beryllium honorable and possibly a small brutal here. Thank you Gareth but you person taken the squad arsenic acold arsenic you can. The results anterior to the World Cup and having favourites meant a once-in-a-lifetime left-back whitethorn ne'er get his accidental to show his world-class endowment arsenic the manager does not spot him. The operation "they person ne'er fto maine down" volition travel backmost to haunt England and remember, arsenic bully arsenic helium has been for England, 1 of his untouchables Harry Kane did. Or arsenic a federation are we blessed and contented with decades of failure? The astir federation needs to aftermath up and name a manager who tin utilise the astonishing endowment we person beryllium bold and region the cautious shackles of Gareth and determination guardant with a caller coach. Thank you Gareth but the world is you person excelled and person reached the limit.

Bob Wood, 79, West Sussex: Gareth Southgate appears to beryllium a precise pleasant, caring guy, but unluckily lone a mediocre shot manager. If we privation to settee for harmless mediocrity, by each means support him on. I would alternatively spot England acceptable their sights higher and spell for a manager who plays a much energetic attacking benignant of football. This mostly involves taking much risk, but I would alternatively spot america neglect aiming for the entity than settee for a comfy 2nd best. Managers specified arsenic Potter and Howe travel to mind. The existent England squad, with 1 oregon 2 exceptions, are susceptible of playing much adventurous shot and progressing to a higher level. Sadly, Gareth has demonstrated implicit a fig of years present that helium is not the antheral to instrumentality them there.

Mohammed, 16: I would emotion him to enactment but I deliberation his clip is up. He has done a large occupation starring England guardant since 2016. He has done good against teams who we are expected to bushed but we person lone beaten Germany and Denmark of the large nations and mislaid to France, Belgium and Italy. It is clip to bring successful Thomas Tuchel, who is known to triumph trophies.

Tyrone 31, Bedfordshire: It's clip to walk the baton to idiosyncratic with the tactical cognition and penetration to get america implicit the enactment against large teams. He has done good bringing players from antithetic clubs unneurotic and the fans backmost with the squad but we can't hazard the champion squad and endowment successful galore years going to discarded nether the guidance of a tactically mediocre and ignorant manager. Southgate is simply a manager and not a coach, nether his enactment we person been incredibly fortunate successful presumption of being drawn against mediocre teams, beating perfectly no-one of enactment successful a competitory tourney but a mediocre German broadside astatine Euro 2020.

Jonathan Alan Savitt, 68, London: It has been 56 years since we won a men's tournament. Southgate has done a respectable occupation but retrieve successful the past 2 World Cups, we played no-one of existent effect but Croatia and France and mislaid to both. It's clip for a caller face. Southgate is an adept diplomat but is missing that captious ingredient... the scare factor. Fergie, Wenger and The Special One had this successful abundance. I said 4 years agone we would ne'er triumph thing nether him. Nice feline but has made superior errors of judgements successful games astatine important times.

NEUTRAL

Cliff Savage, 42, Corby: Hi Gareth, good done astatine the World Cup! You each gave everything, we played precise well, you got each the large decisions right. I'm precise arrogant of everyone astatine Team England. You volition request clip to digest this one, that's for sure. We went retired again by the finest of margins but this England squad is lone going to get better. To genuinely vie astatine large tournaments you person to bushed the champion teams and this is wherever England person consistently failed for years now, and this is the question I judge you request to inquire yourself: are you the antheral to determination guardant and alteration this 1 past thing? To springiness this England squad the unwavering indestructible content that whoever we are playing nary substance who they are that we are going to bushed them? That is what we are genuinely missing. When the chips are down and erstwhile it truly matters astatine a large tourney against the champion successful the world, volition we triumph nary substance what? France believed that much than we did and that is wherefore we lost. Kane missed that punishment not due to the fact that of immoderate different crushed different than existent content that helium was going to score. If you tin reply yes to the question past I volition beryllium 100% down you. Gareth you person been brilliant. present spell distant and beryllium exceptional. Thank you truthful overmuch for everything you person done and hopefully for what is to come.

Ibrahim Obseyeh, 33, Birmingham: He should enactment arsenic agelong arsenic helium realises helium has got to person a Plan B and not permission his astir originative player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, connected the bench. And driblet Kane! For each helium does. helium slows England down excessively often.

Stephen Barnard, 68, Letchworth: Stay until the Euros, past measurement down, triumph oregon lose. That volition let plentifulness of clip for the FA to name a caller manager with the adjacent World Cup successful mind, and it volition alteration a creaseless modulation betwixt the regimes. Give it 1 much heave, Gareth. England present are benignant of similar wherever France were successful the 80s and aboriginal 90s, knocking astatine the doorway but seemingly destined to beryllium astir men. Look astatine however it turned retired for them with that aureate procreation of players coming through.
