Sutton: Interviewing Southgate is undermining

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Interviewing Gareth Southgate for the permanent England manager's job is a 鈥渟lap in the face鈥, according to Chris Sutton. Southgate attended a three-hour interview for the job on Monday, which is understood to have gone smoothly, although no announcement is expected until 30 November. The 46-year-old, who has just concluded a four-game stint as interim manager following Sam Allardyce's departure, is the only candidate - something which Chris Sutton feels is undermining. "Why didn't they just have this meeting behind closed doors and announce Gareth as manager?" Sutton asked Mark Chapman and Adrian Bevington on 5 live Sport. "It's a little bit undermining I feel, a bit of a slap across the face really." This clip is from 5 live Sport on Monday 21 November 2016.
