Unless of course the assistant coach is advising the manager to not play you.
I really struggle with a leadership team apportioning all the ‘blame’ on an individual (which they have indirectly done), whilst accepting zero accountability, despite what’s being reported suggesting that is far...
So if what’s being reported is true, Gareth Southgate essentially lied a few days ago when saying it had nothing to do with Steve Holland, whilst speculating about what other reasons could be behind Ben’s decision. Classy.
