Firstly, £4.88m is nearer £5m than £4m. He's vastly overpaid compared with his Euro rivals.
So who would manage England for £5m? Probably any of those listed below compared with their current salaries.
£4.04m Julian Nagelsmann (Germany)
£3.37m Roberto Martinez (Portugal)
£3.20m Didier...
Such an iconic piece of music with all the instruments of the different countries competing in France 98.
Steel drums, bagpipes, ruan, Spanish guitars, Latin percussion, trumpet, accordion, pan pipes and more.
A great 90s tune that brings back memories of that tournament and the French home win.
At this time, there's very little else England fans can do, irrespective of views on Southgate.
I hope there's plenty more to come, but it currently feels like success is being achieved in spite of the manager, not because of him.
Not sure I'll look back on Southgate's time with total...
We've had almost 8 years and 3 major tournaments to make up our mind about Southgate.
Go ahead, then sit back, surrender the initiative and let the other team back in. Croatia WC2018, Italy Euro 2020. Same old story.
In September, England can look forward to Nations League B football having...
Wouldn't disagree. However the RWC was a failure judged on Australia's very high levels of success. Wise after the event is too late.
Fair enough, but whether or not a carte blanche 'we'll support him whatever' approach results in more success is open to question.

In all likelihood, Southgate will...
For me, that's wholly on Southgate.
In a league of outstanding foreign players, not being able to get anything out of the current Player of the Season is pitiful.
An excellent start, but now England reverting to Southgate-type and dropping further and further back.
Go a goal up, then let the opponents come back into the game.
We've seen this before.
