Andy Goldstein sparked uproar at talkSPORT Towers by saying he’d pause his support for Manchester United if Gareth Southgate is appointed as manager.The former England boss has long been linked with the job at Old Trafford.Goldstein stunned Darren Bent when he suggested he wouldn’t support Man United anymore if Southgate was appointedtalkSPORTAnd in a discussion on Thursday’s Drive, the suggestion was made again that the former Middlesbrough boss could be the long-term Ruben Amorim replacement.The discussion stemmed from an interview with Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink on Thursday’s Breakfast.In it, he suggested Southgate for the Manchester United job to replace Amorim, who was sacked earlier this month.Michael Carrick has been appointed as interim until the end of the season, but they will be looking for a permanent boss in the summer.As a Man United fan, Goldstein was hugely against this being a possibility.And he was slammed by Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy on The Sports Bar the same evening for his stance.Speaking on Drive with Darren Bent, Goldstein said: “I don’t get it. My guess would be that because he’s a Chelsea legend, he’s thinking, ‘yeah, get Man United Gareth Southgate.’“I have seen him manage. I don’t think I’ve seen him win anything. He had the chance to win something, and tactically, he wasn’t good enough – he made the wrong decisions.“England look so much better and more confident. The gulf is already there.“I am sorry Sir Gareth if you are listening, but I am just being honest.“He is brilliant with the press – I don’t really care. He’s good with young players, but that doesn’t mean anything.”Bent then asked his fellow host if he would stop supporting the Red Devils if Southgate got the job.He said: “Yeah, I will if Gareth Southgate becomes the Man United manager, I will pause my support until he goes.“I will pause my support.“I don’t even know why I am entertaining it because it won’t happen.”Southgate has been out of work since leaving the England job following Euro 2024GettyBut Goldstein was never going to get away with that.Cundy and O’Hara tore into him on Thursday’s edition of The Sports Bar.The clip was played out live, and from there, it was a free-for-all.O’Hara said: “He’s a disgrace. Charlatan.”Cundy also piled in: “That is an absolute disgrace, Goldstein.“You cannot pause your support. What do you mean pause your support? That’s disgusting stuff.“You can’t pause your support, that doesn’t make sense.Goldstein is staunchly against Southgate making his first Premier League job in nearly 20 years the Man United oneGetty“You support whatever the weather, whatever the conditions, you support your team.”Southgate’s recordSouthgate has been praised and criticised for various parts of his time as England manager.Anyone who talks about Southgate’s time at the Three Lions, the praise often revolves around the culture he created, and the fact he restored pride in the national team.There is no question that people liked Southgate’s England, and the team spirit was unquestionable.But the key doubts over him were always down to the tactics.England went close to winning silverware twice, but they could never quite get over the line.Southgate won the majority of his games as England boss, but he lost some key onestalkSPORTIn 2018, the Three Lions were 1-0 up in the semi-finals against Croatia thanks to a wonderful Kieran Trippier free-kick.But they threw it away with Ivan Perisic and Mario Mandzukic scoring to take Croatia into the final.Euro 2020 was even more painful as they lost on penalties to Italy after opening the scoring in the game through Luke Shaw before Leonardo Bonucci equalised for the Italians, and they held themselves together better in the penalty shootout.The 2022 World Cup saw the Three Lions crash out to France in the quarter-finals, and in Euro 2024, England scraped and battled their way to the final only to lose 2-1 to Spain.In all of those games, the feeling was that Southgate was out-thought by his counterpart in the opposite dugout.His only Premier League job as a first-team manager also ended in relegation during the 2008/09 season.
