Statically Gareth Southgate is the second most successful England manager in history in terms of wins.
He'll never get the credit that he deserves, though.
He could win the European Championships, World Cup, European Championships and World Cup, back-to-back and there are some people who would say "England won those four tournaments in spite of Gareth Southgate, not because of him."
Maybe it's it's personality. Perhaps if he was a "cheeky chappy" like Venables or Keegan he might receive more kudos.
A big part of me thinks it's political. We all know that Gareth Southgate leans to the left. He believes in fighting political, racial and social injustices... and the majority of England usually votes Conservative.
Before anyone ridicules the suggestion. It wasn't that long ago that England fans were booing the England team for taking the knee.
It wasn't that long ago that Southgate was being lambasted by a certain section of England fans because he was "woke"? (People who weaponise that word are racists)
The dislike towards Gareth Southgate simply cannot be football related. Look at his stats. It's second only to Alf Ramsey.
It can't be football related, unless England fans are truly stupid and they want Southgate to unleash the "attacking talent" that England have and go with a 2-2-6 system.
