Part 3/6:
Darren Ambrose, a former footballer and now a commentator, expressed skepticism about Southgate's recent honesty. Ambrose reflected that revealing his decision to step down may not endear Southgate to the fans. The concern is that knowing their manager was stepping down could undermine the players' commitment during such a significant tournament. It raises important questions about the level of dedication from someone who has already determined their exit strategy.
Jay Bothroyd echoed Ambrose’s sentiments, suggesting that the decision to make his future known was unnecessary. Both commentators reached a consensus that while Southgate’s honesty is commendable, the timing of such a revelation could sour his legacy.
